Suzanne Brouse Lecture

Health care systems and providers are challenged by persistent health inequities, a growing burden of chronic disease multimorbidity, and rising costs. Nurses, and the health system at large, increasingly recognize the need for a paradigm shift toward whole-person and contextualized care that addresses structural challenges and advances health equity.

Evidence demonstrates harmful social determinants of health (SDOH) are a major contributor to inequitable health outcomes, yet there is a paucity of dynamic programs and tools for nurse-led SDOH mitigation. This presentation will synthesize the extant SDOH literature to present a practical framework of SDOH mechanisms, constructs, and principles to guide nurse-led development and evaluation of SDOH mitigation programs.

Providing exemplars of existing nurse-led programs and key components of a nurse-led model of care, this presentation will highlight opportunities for nurse-led innovation in health care practice, science, and education to advance health equity.
