Using Alternative Measures of Social Determinants of Health to Assess Population Risk

Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) include the social and physical conditions in which people are born, live and work on a daily basis. These factors account for 50 percent of the modifiable contributors to health outcomes and include education, job status, income, social support, safety and the physical environment. The overall aim of this session is to show how well different measures of SDOH quantify and characterize patient risk status in order to optimize a variety of population health and payment purposes. These researchers will evaluate SDOH data from publicly available census data, individual-level information gathered from direct patient screening, as well as hybrid models. At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to: • Determine different ways of gathering SDOH data and incorporating it to stratify risk of patients • Develop strategies to address some of these social determinants with the goal of improving health and cost outcomes
