How cloud hosting can help with management of SDOH data
The shift to value-based care in healthcare has led to a focus on addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) as a way to tackle the root causes of illness. Data from consumer tracking apps and social networks can be useful for population health and managing SDOH risks, but it must be handled in a healthcare context to ensure compliance with privacy regulations. Anonymity and fair data use are important issues, as SDOH data can be highly specific and easily identify individuals. Implementing SDOH into healthcare will take time, but it is necessary for a holistic approach to patient care.
