Addressing social needs among vulnerable populations – in terms of improved health outcomes as well as reduced costs – has become a driving force of healthcare investment. Studies show that non-clinical factors can impact as much as 80 percent of a person's overall health.1
While the concept of addressing social determinants of health is not new, organizations are increasingly seeking guidance and technology capabilities to address the non-medical needs of their at-risk patients and communities by screening patients for unmet social needs, connecting people to resources and measuring the impact of interventions.
