Since 80 percent of a person’s health is influenced by factors outside of medical care, it is critical that a healthcare system has an understanding and appreciation for the circumstances of patients’ daily lives that impact their health outcomes, referred to as the social determinants of health (SDoH). 

During the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesday, Lauren Montwill, Vice President of Community Health and Social Impact for the UnitedHealth Group, will report on how her organization is collaborating on the delivery system to collect reliable SDoH data, as well as the effort to build health analytics infrastructure to benchmark, monitor, and track progress toward improving health outcomes and quality measures.

The broadcast will also feature these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:
