Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Data in Action

Published: June 23, 2023, 1 p.m.

To integrate the third type of data, Health Gorilla joined forces with LexisNexis\xae Risk Solutions. Access to such data helps clinicians identify where a patient might be more likely to make a visit or pick up medication if the clinic provides transportation. They can look at other items in what LexisNexis Risk Solutions calls a \u201cmotivation risk score.\u201d\n\nDiana Zuskov, AVP, healthcare strategy at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, says, \u201cWhen you combine quality data with the right platform it can help make the data even more actionable by various healthcare stakeholders. It\u2019s important to remember that data is the foundation in which everything else builds from and having a solid base is imperative. With thousands of data points that can be applied to each individual, analytics are required to turn up what\u2019s useful. Historically, we never thought much about what happened before the patient came into the office or what happens after they go home.\u201d\n\nThe goal of this partnership is to supplement longitudinal health assessments with \u201clongitudinal social care.\u201d Watch the video for more insights on the role of the community, examples of SDoH in action, and other aspects of SDoH.\n\nLearn more about Health Gorilla: https://www.healthgorilla.com/\nLearn more about LexisNexis Risk Solutions: https://risk.lexisnexis.com/\nFind more great health IT content: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/\nLexisNexis Risk solutions is a Healthcare Scene sponsor.
