Industry Perspectives: Acting on social determinants of health data in rural healthcare


Listen Later

Some might balk at the idea that a healthcare system would struggle to gather social determinants of health data in 2025. But for a rural healthcare system where every employee already fulfills multiple roles and the workforce is stretched thin, collecting this data can feel impossible to add to the workflow. Today's guest shares how to make this impossible task more possible for rural healthcare.

Featuring: Susan Gutjahr, HIT Director and Compliance Officer, Sparta Community Hospital

In this episode, we'll cover 

  • Why collecting social determinants of health data is so challenging for rural healthcare systems
  • How Sparta Community Hospital navigated these challenges
  • Putting rural healthcare challenges in perspective
  • and more!
