Ever-changing regulations in the healthcare space keep pharmacies constantly on their toes. Staying on top of these trends and gearing pharmacy programs in the right direction can be a big ask. One way for pharmacies to get the insight they need to stay nimble is to have access to non-clinical patient data that helps complete the picture of their patients’ health risks and needs.

Incorporating targeted social determinants of health (SDOH) can uncover opportunities to improve health, patient engagement, and patient retention outcomes that might otherwise be missed. This valuable patient data aids pharmacy industry leaders in identifying opportunities to expand, optimize and innovate.

Now is the time for health plans to start to think beyond compliance: How can you use this newly available data to support and improve critical business functions?

Social determinants of health, combined with clinical data, can transform outcomes for patient engagement, medical research and marketing.
