  "Patient-generated data is often captured via surveys and questionnaires, but this data can be challenging to standardize and keep up to date. We recommend supplementing patient-provided information with forms of data that can be standardized and refreshed easily at a regular frequency and that show longitudinal trends over time to get the best results for optimizing care. For example, utilizing public records to determine social determinants of health insights can provide caregivers with insights needed to have quality conversations with an individual about how to best tailor their care to their needs.”
- Erin Benson, Director, Market Planning, LexisNexis Risk Solutions - Health Care.
