Social determinants of health (SDOH)—the conditions under which people live, learn, work and age—have a greater impact on health risks and outcomes than medical care.
In this on-demand webinar, explore how the states of Virginia and North Carolina are supporting SDOH initiatives through health IT to improve population health and health equity, and leverage more value from Medicaid dollars. Data and information play a pivotal role in enabling SDOH initiatives. Accessing and using sensitive SDOH data, however, invokes considerable operational, technical, privacy and security challenges. Learn how health IT helps institutions successfully meet SDOH program objectives, and how these states have overcome challenges accessing and using SDOH information.
