Webinar Presentation- Identifying and quantifying the impact of social determinants of health

January 22, 2020

Whether you’re a payer, provider or government entity, social determinants are a critical component of healthcare and pharmaceuticals in the twenty-first century. Social determinants of health—or the social, economic and environmental factors of where we live and work such as social isolation, economic inequality, pollution and food deserts—are preventing too many people across the globe from living healthy lives.

In this webcast a panel of health experts will examine insights from PwC’s recent report: Action required: The urgency of addressing social determinants of health. The report leverages research and fieldwork, including a global survey of more than 7,900 people across 8 countries, interviews with healthcare organization leaders, analysis of more than 25 case studies, and input from our own health industries subject matter experts. All of this culminates into a PwC-perspective on how to succeed with a social determinants of health strategy.​

  • How to lead in social determinants of health: Five steps for bold action
  • A deeper dive: Applying technology and data analytics to tackle social determinants of health
  • Case study: Quantifying the health impact and ROI of Meals on Wheels - how Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Texas applied technology to quantify their program's impact
