The ISMA has launched an online toolbox, “Drive for Five,” and a webpage to assist physicians and their patients in accessing resources concerning social drivers of health (SDOH). SDOH are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes.

Drive for Five is a one-stop SDOH resource page for physicians and their practices. Visit www.ismanet.org/driveforfive to gain free, instant access to the platform.  The name Drive for Five comes from the five SDOH domains from Healthy People 2030: Health care access and quality; neighborhood and built environment; social and community context; economic stability; and education access and quality.

A committee of ISMA-member physicians has vetted all Drive for Five resources. In April, ISMA announced the start of the multifaceted SDOH initiative. 
Drive for Five can also be accessed by visiting the SDOH page under “Resources” on www.ismanet.org. The page also offers additional information on SDOH in Indiana.
