Healthify and Landmark Health work to identify social determinants of health for 97,000 patients nationwide

Healthify and Landmark Health has announced plans to collaborate to address the social determinants of health (SDoH) for complex, chronic patient populations across 13 states — California, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington.

Healthify says its nationwide coverage and scalable implementation methodology will support Landmark’s ability to meet their patients’ needs as they expand into new cities and states. Landmark joins a growing community of providers who are working closely with Healthify to address SDoH, such as transportation, food, education, employment and housing, in at-risk, vulnerable communities.

Through the partnership, Healthify will support Landmark’s SDoH initiatives by implementing access to a nationwide electronic database of more than 426,000 resources. With Healthify, social workers will be able to track the status of those referrals and through a comprehensive reporting dashboard, demonstrate improvements in patient health outcomes as a result of specific SDoH interventions.

“Because our patients are living with multiple chronic conditions, they face higher healthcare needs. To achieve positive health outcomes for this vulnerable population, it is imperative that we go beyond clinical care to meet their social needs,” said Landmark Chief Behavioral Health Officer Chris Dennis, MD in the statement.

With Healthify’s enterprise solutions, Landmark aims to:

·  Operationalize organizational SDoH strategies in multiple markets across the country

· Improve health outcomes and lower the cost of care for complex and chronically ill patient populations
