Social Determinants of Health

SDoH: The Missing Piece in Transforming Healthcare Outcomes
Healthcare has always been about more than medicine, hasn’t it? It’s about people—their lives, their challenges, and the factors shaping their well-being beyond the walls of a clinic. This truth is driving a seismic shift in how care is delivered, with Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) now taking center stage.
And CMS knows it. For organizations participating in ACO REACH, tracking SDoH data isn’t optional—it’s essential. Why? Because the data tells the real story. It reveals what’s truly impacting patients’ lives: housing instability, lack of transportation, food insecurity, and more. These aren’t just statistics; they’re the barriers standing between patients and better outcomes.
CMS has seen the difference that addressing SDoH can make on an individual level. Now, they’re asking providers to scale this approach. But let’s be honest—tracking, managing, and reporting SDoH data isn’t exactly straightforward. The administrative burden is real, the stakes are high, and the process can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be.
The Challenge: Turning Complexity into Action
Think about it: You’re already navigating a maze of value-based care requirements, quality measures, and patient engagement strategies. Now add SDoH data collection and reporting to the mix. It’s not just another task—it’s an entirely new layer of complexity.
How do you ensure that your assessments align with CMS’s ever-evolving guidelines? How do you compile, clean, and submit quarterly reports without pulling your team into a never-ending data spiral? And perhaps most importantly, how do you do all of this while staying focused on what truly matters—delivering exceptional care?
For too many organizations, SDoH tracking has become a source of frustration, draining time, resources, and morale. That’s where AaNeel steps in to flip the script.

The healthcare industry is shifting, and SDoH is at the forefront of this transformation. It’s no longer enough to treat symptoms while ignoring the social and environmental factors driving them.
