The vast majority of U.S. healthcare dollars and patient care efforts are currently spent on clinical factors and are not addressing the underlying socioeconomic and behavioral factors that greatly impact patient health. These forces, referred to as social determinants of health (SDOH), give providers and health plans meaningful insights into the health of their patient populations. SDOH data, which includes information on housing, income, crime, education, transportation, domestic circumstances, and food insecurity, allows stakeholders to proactively identify and treat those most at risk. SDOH improves both patient and population health by contributing to the complete picture of an individual, identifying populations that are most vulnerable, and facilitating connections with social services and programs that can improve their lives.

Join this webinar to explore:

• SDOH data sources and use across organizations
• Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) efforts regarding the use of SDOH
• The role of health information exchanges (HIEs) with SDOH data, including challenges and solutions
