We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 11/8 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by Susan Houck Clark (@SusanHouckClark) from Briljent on the topic “Government and SDoH”.
In recent years, it has become more apparent than ever there is significant need to embrace whole-person health. This includes all stakeholders who engage with individuals to improve health including health care providers, insurance companies, government and community-based organizations who provide services. In fact, we now see government agencies recognizing the importance of treating the whole-person to not only improve health outcomes but to reduce on-going costs of health care.
Join us on #HITsm Twitter chat to collaborate on how to bring together the tech community, providers, and government to create powerful solutions.

T1: What can we do to improve #SDOH data collection from multiple sources? e.g. identification of the data within existing records, from clinicians, from regulatory agencies, from patients, etc. #HITsm
