To maximize the value of electronic health records (EHRs), healthcare providers are integrating social determinants of health (SDOH) data, which offers predictive insights beyond medical history. SDOH—factors like housing, education, income, and access to nutritious food—affect health outcomes, contributing to disparities in life expectancy and healthcare costs. Appending EHRs with SDOH enhances patient segmentation, improves targeting strategies, boosts ROI, and supports population health initiatives. AI-powered analytics further unlocks this data’s potential, identifying risks, optimizing care, and driving better outcomes. Providers using SDOH gain a competitive edge in patient engagement and value-based care.
