Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) – everything from housing and transportation to poverty and food insecurity – can impact up to 80 percent of health outcomes. Yet all too often, the response to SDoH remains disjointed, with partial solutions siloed within different sectors of the health care continuum — from health plan services and health care providers to socials services, community-based organizations and public health agencies. And with the COVID-19 pandemic, the profound impact of SDoH, especially regarding issues such as housing, food insecurity, health literacy, health inequities and mental well-being, is even more apparent.
This panel webinar will feature a representative from Onlife Health, Florida Blue, and PopHealthCare. After providing a brief introduction and history of SDoH, each member of the panel will share their unique point of view, providing insights from a clinical, data and frontline-of-care perspective respectively.
Panel members will discuss what a comprehensive solution for addressing SDoH looks like from their point of view and how the resources they bring to the table can be integrated with the rest of the health care continuum to create a more unified approach to SDoH. The panel will also discuss how COVID-19 is changing the way health care organizations address SDoH.
Attendees will:
- Appreciate the key role data science must play in addressing SDoH on a more comprehensive level by quantifying and identifying the specific risk factors in each community and drive both member and population interventions more effectively.
- Gain a better understanding of the structural weaknesses as well as new opportunities for addressing SDoH that COVID-19 has revealed.
- See how the tools and resources being used to address SDOH are influencing health care providers to adopt a new approach to patient care that is helping them achieve better health outcomes.
- Understand how community-based home-health services provide the local knowledge about social and environment factors to impact health outcomes and discover the root causes of poor health.
