Although reports like this suggest that these<br \/>\nsocial factors have a major impact, thought leaders continue to debate whether<br \/>\nthey can also enhance the accuracy in predictive models. Resolving that debate<br \/>\nis far from simple because the answer depends on the type, source and quality<br \/>\nof the data, and the design of the model under consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">In general, we derive SDoH from subjective<br \/>\nand objective sources. Subjective data includes self-reported or clinician-collected<br \/>\ndata such as patient reported outcomes, Z codes from ICD-10-CM that report<br \/>\nfactors that influence health status and interactions with health service<br \/>\nproviders, and other unstructured EHR data. Objective data includes individual-level<br \/>\nand community-level data from government, public and private (and consumer<br \/>\nbehavior) sources; it\u2019s usually more structured and often derived from national-level<br \/>\ndatasets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\">Unfortunately, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmpgloballearningnetwork.com\/site\/frmc\/article\/using-predictive-analytics-address-social-determinants-health\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">research on the value of SDoH<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\"> in predictive models varies widely. Some<br \/>\nstudies report no appreciable differences when SDoH are injected into models,<br \/>\nwhile others report significant enhancements to predictive power.<br \/>\nUnsurprisingly, these varying study results depend in part on levels of reliance<br \/>\non traditional clinical models and, most importantly, on the types and sources<br \/>\nof SDoH data employed in the studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\">For example, a group from Johns<br \/>\nHopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health demonstrated SDoH predictive models<br \/>\ncan fail in part due to predictive model design as well as to EHR-level data<br \/>\nthat is unstructured and collected inconsistently. \u00a0They also demonstrated that dependence on data<br \/>\nfrom EHR-derived population health databases for SDoH can be problematic<br \/>\nbecause the data tends to be used as a proxy for individual-level social factors.<br \/>\n\u00a0The problem lies in the fact that these<br \/>\nproxies are often based on assumptions, not evidence. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthitanalytics.com\/news\/top-3-data-challenges-to-addressing-the-social-determinants-of-health\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Other research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\"> supports the above and showcases the<br \/>\nchallenges of using SDoH data from sources that traditionally struggle with the<br \/>\ncomprehensive collection and standardization of these data types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\">On a more positive note, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12889-020-08735-0\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">several studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\"> <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21499815\/\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">and<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/healthitanalytics.com\/news\/how-social-determinants-data-can-enhance-machine-learning-tools\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\">healthcare articles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family: inherit; line-height: 150%;\"> have reported success by relying on objectively<br \/>\ncollected and\/or highly structured and consistent data.

They also showed that their models based<br \/>\non SDoH alone, as well as those based on clinical comorbidities alone, could predict<br \/>\nhealth outcomes and costs.

Change Healthcare, for example, has curated such an integrated<br \/>\nnational-level dataset, linking billions of historical de-identified distinct<br \/>\nmedical claims with patient-level social, physical and behavioral determinants<br \/>\nof health. One of this dataset\u2019s most important uses is to understand the<br \/>\nrelative weight of specific patient SDOH factors, in comparison to clinical<br \/>\nfactors alone, for various therapeutic conditions, including COVID-19. For<br \/>\nexample, across Change Healthcare\u2019s research, economic stability is repeatedly<br \/>\nranked as the highest or among the highest predictors of the healthcare<br \/>\nexperience. Despite this realization, most end users, including providers and<br \/>\npayers, lack such visibility (or rely on geographic averages that are unhelpful<br \/>\nin making accurate predictive models).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;\"><span style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Incorporating SDoH data into<br \/>\npredictive models holds much promise. Given the relative newness of SDoH data<br \/>\nin predictive analytics, along with a lack of data standardization and scale, it\u2019s<br \/>\nnot surprising to find varying degrees of success in using it to improve predictive<br \/>\nhealth models. But as researchers learn more about the best types and sources of<br \/>\nSDoH data to use, along with developing better-suited models for these types of<br \/>\ndata, we\u2019re likely to see significant advances in healthcare predictive models.<br \/>\nBy combining the right data with the right models, SDoH are a powerful asset in<br \/>\npredictive models of health, outcomes, and potential health disparities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;\"><b>If you&#8217;re still with us . . .<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;\">Please consider supporting\u00a0<span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/steve-parodi-95263622\">Dr. Steve Parodi<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/reedabelson\/\">Reed Abelson<\/a> and I<\/span>\u00a0by &#8220;voting up&#8221; on our panel at the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sxsw.com\/conference\/\">South by Southwest conference<\/a> in March of 2022.
