Health-Related Social Needs

What are Health-Related Social Needs?

Health-related social needs (HRSN) refer to social and economic needs that contribute to health and well-being. They include food security, transportation, interpersonal violence, education, income/employment, stable housing, social support, and utility assistance. When one or multiple of these needs are unmet, an individual can experience poor health outcomes.

As part of the state’s recent 1115 waiver, Oregon was approved to offer the new health-related social needs (HRSN) benefit. The health-related social needs (HRSN) benefit was developed to provide social support to OHP members who are experiencing certain life transitions, to improve their health during this specific time.
