Imagine improving health outcomes by understanding a patient's socioeconomic background, behavior patterns, and environment.
This isn't just a theoretical idea - it's a reality made possible by social drivers of health (SDOH) data.
Social drivers of health reveals that up to 80% of health outcomes are influenced by factors beyond traditional clinical encounters.
Insights gained from SDOH data can help bridge gaps in patient access, medication adherence, and treatment effectiveness, paving the way for a more equitable and effective healthcare system.
Understanding SDOH: A critical factor in health outcomes
SDOH encompass a range of factors impacting health outcomes, including:
These factors contribute to significant health disparities, non-adherence to medications, and lower health outcomes.
Despite their importance, integrating social drivers of health in drug development and customer engagement is often overlooked, missing an opportunity to address significant barriers to effective healthcare.
How SDOH data powers highly informed decision-making
Incorporating SDOH data can improve and advance healthcare by:
By addressing specific barriers through targeted SDOH-based interventions, healthcare providers can facilitate earlier and more effective treatments, leading to better patient adherence and outcomes.
