How providers can shape patient social determinants of health — Insights from Allscripts Dr. Geoff Caplea

The social determinants of health are defined as the conditions in the places where people live, learn, work and play that can affect health. As the shift to value-based care calls for a greater emphasis on population health management, providers should leverage their influence and emerging technologies to positively affect the social determinants of health in the communities they serve.

In this podcast, Geoff Caplea, medical director, regulatory affairs, patient safety and public health for Allscripts, discusses what providers can do about social determinants of health and what these efforts will mean for patients.
