Can Social Determinants of Health Predict Your Patient’s Future?

The incorporation of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) into predictive models can greatly influence health outcomes, possibly up to 80% according to estimates. However, its success depends on the type and source of data and model design. Several studies have indicated that more accurate predictions can be achieved with structured and consistently collected data. For best results, this should be patient-level information linked to robust clinical data.
