Cracking the Code on Social Determinants of Health

A wide range of social, economic and environmental factors significantly influence health outcomes, so attention to social determinants of health (SDoH) is integral to population health improvement and value-based care initiatives.  

However, much of the information about an individual’s social context exists outside the structured data fields of electronic health records (EHRs). These narrative clinical notes provide qualitative details beyond the standard quantifiable information in EHRs.  

Identifying and mitigating SDoH is crucial for better health outcomes and optimal utilization of medical services.
