Shaping your SDOH Strategy to Improve Healthcare Outcomes — Socially Determined

Written by Socially Determined | Sep 23, 2021 8:13:00 AM

Understanding the health and wellbeing of the individuals and communities you serve depends on so much more than the clinical data most healthcare organizations have access to. Getting insights into the social determinants of health (SDOH) and social risk factors such as financial strain, food insecurity, housing instability, transportation barriers and more allows you to make more educated decisions to help those who need it most and lower costs for your organization.

 If you understand how social risk affects your communities, you can more strategically adjust existing interventions or implement new programs. Our methodology is anchored in delivering Social Risk Intelligence™ through our HITRUST-certified platform, SocialScape®, and a team of experts.

Fueled by TransUnion datasets, SocialScape’s proprietary analytics assemble comprehensive profiles of people, populations, and communities to precisely define where high concentrations of social risk exist. It then quantifies the opportunities so you can see who and where social risk is affecting people and communities the most. With these unmatched insights, you’re better equipped to act strategically and intervene to address excess costs, suboptimal utilization, quality measure attainment, and poor health outcomes at scale.
