Market Definition of U.S. Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Market

The social determinants of health (SDH) are the non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. They are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life. These forces and systems include economic policies and systems, development agendas, social norms, social policies and political systems.

The SDH have an important influence on health inequities - the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries. In countries at all levels of income, health and illness follow a social gradient: the lower the socioeconomic position, the worse the health.

The following list provides examples of the social determinants of health, which can influence health equity in positive and negative ways:

• Income and social protection
• Education
• Unemployment and job insecurity
• Working life conditions
• Food insecurity
• Housing, basic amenities and the environment
• Early childhood development
• Social inclusion and non-discrimination

DRIVERS

RISE IN AWARENESS REGARDING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH (SDOH)

The social determinants of health (SDOH) refer to the economic and social conditions that influence individual and community differences in health status. There has been increased recognition across the U.S. that for improving health, a broader set of approaches is required to address social, economic, and environmental factors that affect health. The government has realized that addressing social determinants of health is important for improving health and reducing the disparities in the health and health care system.

The SDH have an important influence on health inequities - the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries. In countries at all levels of income, health and illness follow a social gradient: the lower the socioeconomic position, the worse the health.

GROWING PREVALENCE OF HEALTH INEQUALITIES AND DISPARITIES IN THE U.S.

Health inequities are systematic differences in the health status of different population groups. These inequities have significant social and economic costs both to individuals and societies.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the social determinants of health as the conditions in which persons are born, grow, live, work, and age, including the health-care system. According to WHO, the social determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities—the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries. The social determinants of health as well as race and ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, age, and disability all influence health.

OPPORTUNITY

INTEGRATION OF SDOH IN REIMBURSEMENT PLANS FOR HEALTHCARE SERVICES

The evidence concerning how SDOH can shape healthcare has led to a growing recognition that improvements in overall health metrics depend on these determinants. There has been a shift in the health care sector towards value-based payments. The prevention and improved health care outcomes for persons and populations are now incentivized.

The shift in focus from service delivery has introduced an expanded approach to addressing health-related factors. There is increasing interest in the role of the health care sector in mitigating adverse social determinants to achieve equitable health outcomes.

RESTRAINTS/CHALLENGES

LACK OF GOVERMENT INITIATIVES FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES

With growing health demands from new and emerging pathogens, aging populations, climate shocks, and increasing conflict and migration, the ever-increasing demand for health workers needs greater coordinated attention and action. A comprehensive, trained, protected, well-equipped, and supported workforce is foundational to expanding equitable access to public health services and health care across the globe.  Investments in health workers not only improve health outcomes, they create jobs and career pathways and economic development by strengthening human capital as part of the care economy.

Thus due to ever increasing diseases and infections and other socio-economic problems it is necessary for the establishment of proper healthcare services by government to provide required funding for the research and development activities in healthcare system.

REQUIREMENT OF A FUNDAMENTAL AND STRUCTURED HEALTH SYSTEM INTEGRATION

To successfully implement an SDOH program, payers, providers, community-based organizations, and all other stakeholders must work together. There is a need to deploy multi-stakeholder collaboration strategies. However, many programs lack the necessary partnerships, experience, and infrastructure.

The favorable outcome of an SDOH strategy depends on the targeted community's response. Although the awareness regarding SDOH has been consistently rising, the concept is at an early stage in terms of deployment.
