Comparison of SIREN social needs screening tools and Simplified Omaha System Terms: informing an informatics approach to social determinants of health assessments.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveNumerous studies indicate that the social determinants of health (SDOH), conditions in which people work, play, and learn, account for 30%-55% of health outcomes. Many healthcare and social service organizations seek ways to collect, integrate, and address the SDOH. Informatics solutions such as standardized nursing terminologies may facilitate such goals. In this study, we compared one standardized nursing terminology, the Omaha System, in its consumer-facing form, Simplified Omaha System Terms (SOST), to social needs screening tools identified by the Social Interventions Research and Evaluation Network (SIREN). MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing standard mapping techniques, we mapped 286 items from 15 SDOH screening tools to 335 SOST challenges. The SOST assessment includes 42 concepts across 4 domains. We analyzed the mapping using descriptive statistics and data visualization techniques.
resultsOf the 286 social needs screening tools items, 282 (98.7%) mapped 429 times to 102 (30.7%) of the 335 SOST challenges from 26 concepts in all domains, most frequently from Income, Home, and Abuse. No single SIREN tool assessed all SDOH items. The 4 items not mapped were related to financial abuse and perceived quality of life. DISCUSSION: SOST taxonomically and comprehensively collects SDOH data compared to SIREN tools. This demonstrates the importance of implementing standardized terminologies to reduce ambiguity and ensure the shared meaning of data.
conclusionsSOST could be used in clinical informatics solutions for interoperability and health information exchange, including SDOH. Further research is needed to examine consumer perspectives regarding SOST assessment compared to other social needs screening tools.
