Linking EMR With SDOH Data: Insights Across Disease Cohorts

Award-Winning Research:
Linking EMR and SDOH Data for Deeper Healthcare Insights

Presented at AMCP 2024 and recognized with the Platinum Award, this poster highlights groundbreaking research on the integration of electronic medical record (EMR) data with social determinants of health (SDOH) to enhance understanding of health disparities and patient outcomes.

Key Highlights:

  • Objective: Explore the impact of linking patient and household-level SDOH data with EMR disease cohorts, focusing on HIV, CKD, HF, T2DM, and mPCa.
  • Innovative Approach:
    • Analyzed factors like household composition, economic stability, and racial diversity in patient populations.
    • Developed composite measures to minimize bias and variability in assessing health outcomes and costs.
    • Integrated findings into analytic models to enhance real-world evidence.
  • Significant Findings:
    • Identified disparities in economic stability and household income across disease cohorts.
    • Provided actionable insights into SDOH-driven care patterns for improving health equity.

This research sets a new benchmark for leveraging SDOH data in real-world studies, offering a framework for reducing healthcare inequities and optimizing patient care.
