Traditionally, healthcare focused on treating individuals, however, today’s healthcare landscape is shifting towards a more holistic approach. Therefore, understanding the broader factors influencing health outcomes is paramount.
This is where Population Health Management (PHM) and Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) come into play. PHM utilizes data to manage the health of entire communities proactively, identifying and addressing risk factors before they lead to health problems.
Meanwhile, SDOH encompasses the social, economic, and environmental factors, like income or access to healthy food that significantly impact individual well-being. Recognizing the interplay between these two concepts is crucial for creating a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
