Identify and use SDoH data for managing vulnerable populations

Social determinants of health data is hard to identify but plays a key role in care management strategies

The COVID-19 pandemic uncovered and highlighted many structural inequities in the U.S. healthcare and economic system. These components, often captured by social determinants of health (SDoH) data, contribute to a person’s overall well-being, and include one’s neighborhood and local environment, health and healthcare, social and community connection, education, and economic stability.

Social determinants of health also play a key role in helping providers understand the complete health of their patient populations, especially those covered by Medicaid, and can help them proactively address societal or economic factors that will negatively impact health. But this data is notoriously difficult to find, store, and utilize in the context of the US healthcare data environment.
