Health INSIGHTS is a national event bringing together Health System and Health Plan executives focused on applications of social determinants of health in population health management. At Health INSIGHTS the leading minds in healthcare data analytics and population health management reveal broader approaches that address social, economic, and environmental factors required to influence health. Mr. Greenstein and others will discuss what programs are working and where, where you start in your organization and community, and the technology and programs that use social determinants of health to risk stratify patients for better long-term health management.
Health INSIGHTS is presented by Purpose Events, producer of the nation’s largest regional Health CIO event series, the HealthIMPACT Forum and chaired by Mandi Bishop, CEO & Founder of Lifely Insights and Fred Goldstein, CEO, Accountable Health LLC. Mandi brings with her years of experience in digital health and a passion for the application of SDoH data to improve patient care and clinical outcomes. About the event, Bishop said "We know that 80-95% of the factors that influence health are experienced outside the clinical setting.
