Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Data in Action

15 minutes

To integrate the third type of data, Health Gorilla joined forces with LexisNexis® 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 “motivation risk score.”

Diana Zuskov, AVP, healthcare strategy at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, says, “When you combine quality data with the right platform it can help make the data even more actionable by various healthcare stakeholders. It’s 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’s useful. Historically, we never thought much about what happened before the patient came into the office or what happens after they go home.”

The goal of this partnership is to supplement longitudinal health assessments with “longitudinal social care.” Watch the video for more insights on the role of the community, examples of SDoH in action, and other aspects of SDoH.
