Creating analytics on the Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) for a Healthcare System is useful for understanding and addressing the complex factors that influence a patient’s well-being. Social determinants are various non-medical elements such as Economic Stability, Education Access and Quality, Health Care Access and Quality, Neighborhood and Built Environment, Social and Community Context. Developing effective analytics in this domain starts with defining the scope.

Data collection is crucial. Gathering information from diverse sources, including government databases, surveys, and community organizations, helps build a comprehensive dataset. This data should encompass demographics, income levels, education, employment, and neighborhood conditions.

Data integration and analysis are essential. Advanced statistical and machine learning techniques can identify patterns, correlations, and predictive factors. These insights can help a Healthcare System identify ways for outreach programs and partner engagements.
