GETTYSBURG, Pa., Dec. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The pandemic has had a marked impact on the demand for social services — and the social determinants of health are directly related to rates of infection and mortality rates for COVID-19.

On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, at 1:00 pm ET, Dr. Rola Aamar, PhD, Senior Consultant for Clinical Effectiveness at Relias; Dr. Leigh Steiner, Ph.D., Director of Clinical Analytics and Applications at Relias; and Chance Wilson, Director of Health Home at Jim Taliaferro Community Mental Health Center, will present the executive web briefing, "Understanding The Impact Of COVID-19 On Social Determinants Of Health." During this webinar, managers of health care provider organizations will learn about those relationships—and how to use data to better manage the needs of high-risk consumers.

The session will provide an update on the effects of the pandemic on social determinants, a case study on how one community mental health center is using data to manage their Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act initiative in conjunction with mental health and substance abuse prevention initiatives, and a three-pronged model for reducing consumer risk for lack of access to mental health and social supports in 2021.
