Understanding SDOH risk leads to better health outcomes and lower costs
While clinical data has traditionally been used to predict population health risk, it only tells part of the story. Whereas, approximately 60% of health outcomes can be attributed to social determinants of health (SDOH), such as poverty, housing stability, access to transportation, and living in a food desert1.
Determinations of risk aren’t always possible in these areas if patients do not provide complete disclosure on their socioeconomic situation or if organizations don’t have the resources and time to collect such information.

Tony has been in and out of housing shelters for the past decade. He’s bipolar and has severe asthma.

Paula suffers from diabetes and hypertension. Without easy access to a grocery store in her low-income neighborhood, she struggles to find healthy food options.
As a result, Paula is often unable to control her conditions.
With access to a food pantry provided, she can make healthier food choices and reduce unplanned doctor’s visits.
Kevin has congestive heart failure and is frequently readmitted to the hospital. Since he doesn’t own a car and isn’t close to public transportation, it’s difficult to get to regular doctor’s appointments for disease management.

This enables him to proactively take better care of his health and reduce the need for hospital readmissions.
