To effectively address social risk factors in healthcare, health centers can implement comprehensive assessment tools like PRAPARE® to identify and mitigate these risks. Understanding and applying risk stratification is crucial for advancing population health, as it enables tailored interventions at the patient, health center, and community levels. By analyzing social drivers of health (SDOH), healthcare providers can prioritize resources and care strategies more efficiently. This session will demonstrate how health centers successfully use risk stratification to enhance patient outcomes, showcasing the practical benefits of integrating these approaches into healthcare practices.

Learning Objectives:

• Review steps health centers can take to address social risk including assessment tools such as PRAPARE®.
• Understand the concept of risk stratification and its impact on advancing population health at the patient, health center, and community levels.
• Explore real-world examples of health centers utilizing risk stratification to improve the health and well-being of their patients.
