Linking EMR With SDOH Data: Insights Across Disease Cohorts Presentation
Linking EMR and SDOH Data:
Transforming Real-World Healthcare Insights
Presented at AMCP 2024, this research explores the integration of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) data with electronic medical records (EMR) to uncover actionable insights across diverse disease cohorts.
Key highlights:
- Broad Disease Focus: Includes HIV, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Heart Failure (HF), Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM), and Metastatic Prostate Cancer (mPCA).
- Unique Findings:
- Racial diversity was highest among HIV patients and lowest among mPCA patients.
- Economic instability persisted across cohorts, even among households with above-median incomes.
- Composite measures revealed nuanced insights into household size, age, and living conditions affecting disease management.
- Actionable Insights:
- Linking EMR with SDOH data identifies disparities and guides targeted interventions.
- Composite and interaction measures enhance understanding of care patterns and outcomes.
This study emphasizes the power of integrating SDOH data with EMRs to advance real-world evidence, tackle health inequities, and support data-driven healthcare strategies.
