Working with SDOH Software CMS Data Needs

As of January 7th, 2021 CMS issued guidance on opportunities in Medicaid and CHIP to address Social Determinants of Health.  This guidance focuses on services and support that can address SDOH needs.

According to the article “SDOH have been shown to impact health care utilization and cost, health disparities, and health outcomes. Current research indicates that some social interventions targeted at Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries can result in improved health outcomes and significant savings to the health
care sector.“

How can health plans gain insights on the individual needs that a member has related to SDOH conditions?  Currently the options are very limited.

Our Member Management System SDOH Software allows organizations to load member driven data files into our cloud solution.  Then we compare your members to common SDOH conditions all the way down to a Census tract.  Then target your members to identify, track and improve their outcomes while maintaining a database of those conditions you have tracked for each person.

SDOH Software CMS Data Tracking

Get ahead of CMS and start building out a database of unique SDOH needs of your members.  

Report out to your local, state and federal healthcare agencies the actual conditions your member are faced with.  Work with CMS on SDOH reimbursements to design programs that improve health and outcomes.  According to CMS there are a few SDOH programs that Medicaid provides could implement:

• Transportation
• Meal Delivery
• Education 
• Employment Services
• Housing support
• 1115 Demonstration Projects

Our SDOH software CMS data can give you the insights you need to provide critical information to government agencies.  No need for Excel files trying to track information on a small group of individuals.  

Partner agencies can be leveraged to address SDOH and is encouraged in the SDOH CMS guidance – 

“When developing and implementing a strategy to address SDOH, the state Medicaid agency should work with other state agencies to leverage all federal funding the state receives to address SDOH.”
