About this report:

This overview of the technology behind emerging multi-sector initiatives is geared toward those who are beginning social determinants work, preparing to scale up existing programs, or looking for new partners. We will highlight some of the leading initiatives that use technology to provide better care and services by connecting health care systems with human services organizations. Some of these initiatives also involve connections with public health agencies at the state and local levels. While there are many other kinds of services that play vital roles (e.g., housing, transportation, food pantries), this report will focus on intersections among health, human services, and public health initiatives and organizations.

The report reflects a broad synthesis of information from published, peer-reviewed articles as well as web sites, blogs, conference presentations, and interviews with a variety of experts on social determinants of health and health equity. It is intended to describe exemplary work in progress and is by no means exhaustive, because new initiatives and resources emerge constantly.
