Rx for Equity: Practical SDOH Strategies for the Community Pharmacy

Rx for Equity: Practical SDOH Strategies for the Community Pharmacy

Activity type: Knowledge-based

Format: Live via webinar

Date: April 28, 2026 12:00-1:00pm via webinar

CPE Credit: 1.0 contact hour (0.1 CEU)

Target Audience: Pharmacists in any practice setting, particularly the community setting.

Why Attend: A review of current literature emphasizes the integration of social determinants of health (SDOH) into routine pharmacy practice to improve patient outcomes. Addressing SDOH can reduce health disparities and enhance medication adherence, yet implementation remains inconsistent across community pharmacy settings. Community pharmacists report barriers to SDOH integration including lack of standardized workflows, limited training, and uncertainty about reimbursement. This activity aims to equip pharmacists and members of the pharmacy team with actionable tools to close these gaps and align with emerging best practices. 

Objectives: 

1. Describe the impact of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) on medication adherence and patient outcomes.
2. Recognize validated tools and workflow strategies for integrating SDOH screening into patient encounters.
3. Outline effective referral pathways to community resources that address identified SDOH needs.
