"In one recent analysis, we observed the use of social determinants of
health alone to predict readmission risk as being equally as accurate as
using clinical data alone for predicting this risk. The observation
itself wasn’t incredibly surprising considering the vast medical
literature that supports the idea that many influences for
readmission occur outside of a hospital. The surprise came from the
relative ease with which the socioeconomic data was used and the
opportunity these initial results hold for using this valuable insight
for the care of patients." - Kathy Mosbaugh, MPH, Vice President, Healthcare Analytics, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. |

plans; however, only 19% of providers offer patient education programs
on cost of care, and 17% have no plans to do so." Excerpted from: Population Health News, Volume 5 Number 1, January 2018, "Survey Illustrates Gap in Consumer Engagement." |
