Prioritizing High-Risk Patients Through SDoH Risk Stratification
Prioritizing High-Risk Patients Through SDoH Risk Stratification - TechVariable TechVariable
TechVariable provides FHIR-ready APIs to support the risk stratification of high-risk patients using Social Determinants of Health (SDoH).
Summary
A healthcare organization implemented risk stratification using Social Determinants of Health (SDoH), which goes beyond clinical data. This enabled the identification and timely, targeted intervention for high-risk patients.
Key Players
Details
This case study details how a care management platform utilized SDoH-driven risk stratification to identify and prioritize high-risk patients. The challenge addressed was that traditional care often struggled with incomplete patient profiles due to missing non-clinical data (SDoH) and fragmented, manual coordination processes. The solution implemented a five-step workflow: 1) Verify Demographics, 2) Risk Stratification (using EHR and SDoH factors), 3) Assignment, 4) Intake, and 5) Create/Update Care Plan. By embedding this process into the platform's Collaborative Exchange module, high-risk patients could be immediately prioritized for outreach, ensuring data accuracy from the outset, and streamlining the entire care coordination cycle. Potential technical evolutions include integration with HIEs for longitudinal data enrichment and partnerships with SDoH resource networks to auto-generate community referrals. This model is highly relevant to improving patient outcomes in complex care settings globally.
