Socially Determined Co-Founder and CEO, Trenor Williams, MD, talked with Eric about the importance of accessing and unlocking the potential of member demographic data, including race, ethnicity and language, to identify social risk.
Specifically, he shared details of his organization’s partnership with CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield to optimize interventions for populations with complex health needs.
CareFirst’s objective is to understand what drives the decisions people make regarding their health and healthcare but a lack of visibility into data and insights outside of the traditional healthcare setting makes it challenging.
To meet the objective, Socially Determined is helping CareFirst identify social risks at the social domain level including financial strain, food insecurity, housing instability, transportation barriers, and health literacy challenges, enabling CareFirst to build personalized interventions for individuals with elevated health risks due to social drivers of health.
Access to these actionable insights supports CareFirst’s mission to advance health equity and advocate for affordable, accessible, and quality care for members, employers and the communities they serve.
