Socioeconomic Health Scores
Insights derived from social determinants of health that lead to more holistic care management.
Socioeconomic Health Scores provide insights that help improve care management and patient engagement outcomes.
According to the World Health Organization, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age that impact their health. Socioeconomic data is information that provides insight into those conditions so healthcare organizations can better understand how the combination influences health. You will often hear terms like SDOH, socioeconomic data, and sociodemographic data used interchangeably in the market.
Socioeconomic Health Scores help organizations across the healthcare spectrum understand patient health and care needs more holistically.
LexisNexis Socioeconomic Health Scores can be used independent of other clinical analytics or models. Or they can be used in conjunction with existing care management, discharge and planning platforms. Today, LexisNexis offers four scores:
Total Cost Risk Score
How is the Total Cost Risk Score Used by Health Plans?
Using these insights, organizations can predict a member or patient’s potential health risk over the next 12 months based on cost. Total Cost Risk Score empowers healthcare organizations to implement a more proactive approach in their risk stratification, care management and member/patient engagement initiatives.
Readmission Risk Score
How is the Readmission Risk Score Used by Providers?
The Readmission Risk Score predicts a patient’s potential risk of readmission within 30 days after discharge of an inpatient hospital stay using clinically-validated socioeconomic data. The Readmission Risk Score can assist healthcare organizations in assessing and stratifying risk in their patient populations and proactively engaging and supporting those individuals to prevent readmissions and improve health outcomes.
Medication Adherence Score
How is the Medication Adherence Score Used across the Healthcare Spectrum?
The Medication Adherence Score predicts the expected compliance for an individual to be adherent to their medication protocol. With the evolution of value-based care initiatives, pharmacy, payer and provider organizations can increase medication adherence and achieve positive health outcomes through the analysis of social determinants of health data.
Motivation Score
How motivated is an individual to engage in their own care?
Predicts an individual’s motivation to care for their own health over the next 12 months, based on predicted willingness to proactively address health needs and follow care recommendations.
Socioeconomic Health Scores are critical pieces to an effective predictive modeling, patient engagement and care management strategy.
These health scores have been shown to improve predictive accuracy over traditional demographic models. The attributes that are used in our predictive scores are clinically validated against health outcomes. These scores can then be used to effectively engage members and patients by providing more personalized programs and consultations.
Key Features Include:
- Clinically validated social determinants of health data utilized in all scores
- Scores can be leveraged in conjunction with our absent of claims data
- Scores are system agnostic allowing for use with existing software platforms
