Non-clinical drivers of health, often referred to as social determinants of health (SDoH), are factors that impact overall health and wellness, and ultimately health outcomes. In this episode of FedHealthIT’s Keeping IT Brief podcast, Kaajal Singh discusses how non-clinical drivers of health can affect patient decisions and overall health, opportunities to better support clinicians, and steps industry leaders are taking to address SDoH.
Ultimately, clinicians need to be empowered, at the bedside, to understand what their patient’s biggest non-clinical needs are. And data is at the heart of it all, driving the right insights and decisions based on the demonstrated ability to improve outcomes and reduce overall healthcare expenditures over time.
