The Challenges of Fragmented and Limited Data
To fully understand the healthcare needs of a population's needs, organizations must look beyond the data they currently have. Social determinants of health (SDOH) add essential context that clinical data alone cannot capture.
However, healthcare data is highly fragmented and spread across hospitals, retail clinics, telehealth and other care settings. This fragmentation, combined with the sheer volume and variety of data, makes creating a cohesive and actionable view of the population challenging.
Data Challenges Affect the Ability to Address
Population Needs
Organizations often face data gaps that limit their ability to understand and meet their populations' needs.
Key challenges include:
Maintaining Compliance and Quality Standards: As policies shift to support population health management, staying compliant with value-based care standards and achieving high scores on metrics like HEDIS and STARS is increasingly challenging.
Incorporating Social Determinants of Health: Addressing health disparities requires data on social factors such as housing, education and food security impacting health outcomes.
Engaging and Segmenting Vulnerable Populations: Reaching hard-to-engage populations is challenging due to limited health literacy, cultural barriers and outdated contact information.
Organizations require a more reliable view of their population to address these challenges and create initiatives that meet their unique needs.
Effectively addressing community health begins with understanding each person and their journey over time, such as barriers to care or life events. Population health data and insights from LexisNexis® Risk Solutions helps organizations bridge the data gap between what's known and what's needed.
To support meaningful outreach and care coordination programs, we help organizations:
Step 1:
Identify missing SDOH insights in their population
Our patented linking technology resolves disparate data and consumer records with 99.9% precision, assigning a unique identifier to each individual. Profiles are continuously updated to reflect changes over time.
Each person’s journey is unique, with healthcare and non-healthcare interactions generating fragmented pieces of their evolving story over time. Effective population health starts with understanding that journey and the barriers to care. Enhance your records with social determinants of health and updated demographic details and contact data to identify the needs of hard-to-reach and at-risk populations.
