N.J. Legislation Creates Four Regional Health Hubs

Since its inception, the Trenton Health Team has worked to address social determinants of health and create partnerships among healthcare and community organizations that impact social needs. “For us, how we use technology to better identify and address social needs was a logical next step in our health information technology work,” Paulson said. “When we decided to implement NowPow, we already had the social service partners at the table working with us. We were able to invite them to participate in the vendor selection process and lead deployment of the tool with us, including developing a standardized social determinant screening tool that social workers from across the spectrum all collaborated on and have shared ownership.”
