SDOH- Using Data to Empower Better Care

摘要

What are the most important social determinants to monitor and what steps should providers and others take to determine those? Each of the SDoH categories are important. When thinking about a whole patient/member, we need to evaluate all the categories, such as house, transportation, food, companionship, etc. On a population level, we see significant changes in the impact of different SDoH based on geography, so we also think that providers and others should analyze their specific geography(ies) to understand the broader need for sufficient community based resources and interventions.
