Social determinants of health
Over 60% of our health is impacted by social determinants of health (SDoH) like access to food, jobs, childcare, and housing. Addressing social influences at both the individual and population levels is essential to improving health and reducing health disparities. WellSky® is committed to building a world where no one’s health is hindered by their need.
Social determinants of health
There’s so much more to wellness than healthcare alone
Over 60% of our health is impacted by social determinants of health (SDoH) like access to food, jobs, childcare, and housing. Addressing social influences at both the individual and population levels is essential to improving health and reducing health disparities. WellSky® is committed to building a world where no one’s health is hindered by their need.
Background
Health is complex and has many influences. The World Health Organization describes “health” as being “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
As the social determinants of health have become better understood, it’s become clearer that healthcare problems cannot be solved through the healthcare system alone. Policymakers are looking beyond traditional medical care toward the other determinants of health such as housing, education, work, income, early life experience, race, and ethnicity.
People with multiple health and social needs are high consumers of healthcare services and are thus drivers of high healthcare costs. One U.S. study estimates that high-risk, high-need patients represent 20% of the population and generate 80% of healthcare costs.
Addressing these challenges requires smarter solutions that achieve lasting outcomes. That’s what WellSky is all about.
