Social determinants of health (SDOH) data captures impacts on patient health beyond the healthcare delivery system. Traditional health data (e.g., from healthcare encounters) only tells a portion of the patient and population health story. To understand the full spectrum of health impacts (e.g., from environment to relationship and employment status), organizations need data from their patient’s daily lives. The urgency for SDOH data is particularly strong today, as value-based payment increasingly presses health systems to raise quality and lower cost. Without fuller insight into patient health (what happens beyond healthcare encounters) organizations can’t align with community services to help patients meet needs of daily living—prerequisites for maintaining good health.
Standardizing SDOH data into healthcare workflows, however, requires an informed strategy. Health systems will benefit by following a standardization protocol that includes relevant and comprehensive domains, engages patients, enables broader understanding of patient health, integrates with organizational EHRs, and is easy for clinicians to follow.
Healthcare Transformation: The Journey of High-Value HealthcareHealth Catalyst
To manage population health, one needs to intimately understand the anatomy of healthcare and model how healthcare is delivered, in order to systematically improve healthcare outcomes. In this webinar, Dr. Burton draws on his 26-year executive career at Intermountain, Select Health, and Health Catalyst. He emphasizes the importance of linking administrative data (e.g., billing codes) to processes of clinical care to use the 80/20 principle to prioritize care processes within each venue to focus improvement initiatives on the things that matter most. He will also discuss a Clinical Integration framework to use in driving out waste by reducing variation in the ordering of care, the efficiency with which the care that is ordered is delivered and reducing defects in care delivery to make it safer.

How Risk-Bearing Entities Work Together to Succeed at Population HealthHealth Catalyst
Integrating healthcare delivery between risk-bearing entities, such as providers and insurers, is, on the surface, an important step towards population health management and value-based goals. However, even vertically integrated units tend to function separately around patient care. As a result, patients are spread thin between receiving care, navigating insurance, and more—a situation that degrades the patient experience, thwarts optimal outcomes, and interferes with value-based goals. However, some organizations are bridging the gap between healthcare entities to improve quality and decrease costs of caring for at-risk patient populations through a sustainable, collaborative population health model. By joining forces and using analytics to drive decisions and scale programs, truly integrated risk-bearing entities put patients at the center of care, meeting their healthcare needs in a more efficient, cost-effective way.

Big Data in Healthcare Made Simple: Where It Stands Today and Where It’s GoingHealth Catalyst
Health system leaders have questions about big data: When will I need it? How should I prepare? What’s the best way to use it? It’s important to separate the hype of big data from the reality. Where big data stands in healthcare today is a far cry from where it will be in the future. Right now, the best use cases are in academic- or research-focused healthcare institutions. Most healthcare organizations are still tackling issues with their transactional databases and learning how to use those databases effectively. But soon—once the issues of expertise and security have been addressed—big data will play a huge role in care management, predictive analytics, prescriptive analytics, and genomics for everyday patients. The transition to big data will be easier if health systems adopt a late-binding approach to the data now.
The presentation describes in brief the patients need, expectations and how to develop the patient care and feedback system to obtain maximum patient satisfaction.
Pairing HIE Data with an Analytics Platform: Four Key Improvement CategoriesHealth Catalyst
Population health and value-based payment demand data from multiple sources and multiple organizations. Health systems must access information from across the continuum of care to accurately understand their patients’ healthcare needs beyond the acute-care setting (e.g., reports and results from primary care and specialists). While health system EHRs have a wealth of big-picture data about healthcare delivery (e.g., patient satisfaction, cost, and outcomes), HIEs add the clinical data (e.g., records and transactions) to round out the bigger picture of patient care, as well as the data sharing capabilities needed to disseminate the information.

Effective Patient Stratification: Four Solutions to Common HurdlesHealth Catalyst
Accurate patient stratification, the first step of any effective population health strategy, identifies patients who will benefit most from a population health intervention. Successful patient stratification is critical when laying the foundation for any population health initiative, yet many health systems struggle with this step.
Care teams can apply four solutions to overcome common patient stratification hurdles, target the most impactable patients, and carry out population health initiatives:
Consider both the physical and the mental.
Prove and measure return on investment.
Complete data sets.
Transparent, customizable technology.
Four Population Health Management Strategies that Help Organizations Improve ...Health Catalyst
Population health management (PHM) strategies help organizations achieve sustainable outcomes improvement by guiding transformation across the continuum of care, versus focusing improvement resources on limited populations and acute care. Because population health comprises the complete picture of individual and population health (health behaviors, clinical care social and economic factors, and the physical environment), health systems can use PHM strategies to ensure that improvement initiatives comprehensively impact healthcare delivery.
Organizations can leverage four PHM strategies to achieve sustainable improvement:
Data transformation
Analytic transformation
Payment transformation
Care transformation
The Digitization of Healthcare: Why the Right Approach Matters and Five Steps...Health Catalyst
While many industries are leveraging digital transformation to accelerate their productivity and quality, healthcare ranks among the least digitized sectors. Healthcare data is largely incomplete when it comes to fully representing a patient’s health and doesn’t adequately support diagnoses and treatment, risk prediction, and long-term health care plans. But even with the obvious urgency for increased healthcare digitization, the industry must raise this trajectory with sensitivity to the impacts on clinicians and patients. The right digital strategy will not only aim for more comprehensive information on patient health, but also leverage data to empower and engage the people involved.
Health systems can follow five guidelines to digitize in a sustainable, impactful way:
Achieve and maintain clinician and patient engagement.
Adopt a modern commercial digital platform.
Digitize the assets (the patients) and the processes.
Understand the importance of data to drive AI insights.
Prioritize data volume.
Population Health Success: Three Ways to Leverage DataHealth Catalyst
As the healthcare industry continues to focus on value, rather than volume, health systems are faced with delivering quality care to large populations with limited resources. To implement population health initiatives and deliver results, it is critical that care teams build population health strategies on actionable, up-to-date data. Health systems can better leverage data within population health and drive long-lasting change by implementing three small changes:
Increase team members’ access to data.
Support widespread data utilization.
Implement one source of data truth.
Access to accurate, reliable data boosts population health efforts while maintaining cost and improving outcomes. With actionable analytics providing insight and guiding decisions, population health teams can drive real change within their patient populations.

Managing one or more chronic diseases can be very challenging for patients who may be overwhelmed or confused about their care plan and may not have access to the resources they need. At the same time, care teams are overburdened, making it difficult to provide the support these patients require to stay as healthy as possible.
