Clinicians, while often aware of social isolation as a problem, may lack organizational support to help them care for isolated patients, especially when preventive and chronic disease management are adversely affected. Learning Objectives: (1) define social isolation, its risk factors, and tools for measuring social isolation; (2) review how new ICD-10 codes will capture social barriers to accessing proper care and how this can help improve care; (3) describe how behavioral health and cognitive decline are associated with social isolation; and (4) describe how clinicians can put this information into practice.
