Manik Bhat, Co-Founder and CEO of Healthify, to Speak at the HEA 1st Annual Symposium For Health Plans on Addressing Social Determinants of Health
NEW YORK (PRWEB) March 01, 2018 -- Healthify, the leading software solution for addressing individuals' social determinants of health, announced today that its’ Co-Founder and CEO, Manik Bhat, will speaking in a special workshop session, “Collecting and Analyzing Social Needs Data to Form Your Plan of Action,” at the Healthcare Education Associates 1st Annual Symposium For Health Plans on Addressing Social Determinants of Health today from 10:45 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. CT.
Over the last 20 years, health expenditure growth has more than doubled and continues to rise rapidly, while rates of chronic diseases continue to increase. One of the most significant challenges in healthcare is determining how to cost-effectively use data to improve health outcomes. Tracking the social determinants of health data can help health plans understand trends in population health and identify the types of resources that are needed to appropriately address unmet social needs. The workshop will explore why healthcare systems should collect and assess social needs and how they can leverage that data to efficiently improve outcomes in patient populations.
Manik will offer insights on how health plans can use Healthify’s solutions to identify needs and track all referral activity and trends in population health.
Other presenters in the workshop include, Rafael Amezcua, Medicare Medical Director at L.A. Care Health Plan, Fernando Arbelaez, Senior Director of Research, Development and Analytics at Gateway Health, and Krista Beckwith, MSPH, CPC-A, Population Health Director at Colorado Access.
