3M analytics platform integrates socio-clinical risk to improve health equity
-
Health outcomes aren’t determined only by the medications prescribed or consultations given in a provider’s office. As we are increasingly aware, only 10 to 20 percent of an individual’s outcomes are driven by medical care alone. The remaining 80-90 percent is driven by what’s called social determinants of health (SDoH) or, the environmental and social factors at play in our lives and our communities. It’s in addressing these factors – and tracking the related metrics – that present an effective way to drive better outcomes and instill health equity. The COVID-19 pandemic has put into stark contrast our collective ability to combat and overcome public health crises – crises which are largely affected by health equity and SDoH.
This year, 3M launched its 3M™ Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Analytics technology platform that works with 3M™ Clinical Risk Groups to identify medically complex populations with social risk. Unlike other classification systems used by some Medicaid programs (i.e. Chronic Illness and Disability Payment System), 3M CRGs are a patient-centered clinical categorical model for assigning risk. This powerful combination of data allows payers and providers to identify at-risk patient populations from both a medical and social perspective, supplying a clearer path to more effective and long-lasting, assistance. Simply put, integrating clinical and social risk allows providers and plans to more effectively care for members.
When it comes to actionable insights that can lead to fundamental change, the power of SDoH boils down to a combination of data that provides both a 360 degree view of a population’s health from a clinical perspective, and a snapshot of potential risk based on social factors. Based on these findings, providers and/or payers can connect individuals with existing community resources that proactively address the factors which so heavily predicate health outcomes.
With more than 35 years of experience working with clinical data using 3M CRGs and 3M™ Potentially Preventable Events, 3M provides expertise that, when integrated with social risk intelligence metrics from Socially Determined (a social risk analytics company) allows for integrated clinical, social and population health analytics at scale. 3M SDoH Analytics provides a complete picture of an individual, community and delivery network.

The role of health plans in addressing social determinants of health
