Data Standards, Community Stewardship Key for SDOH Data Exchange

April 21, 2022Hannah NelsonEHRIntelligenceRemote Patient Monitoring,Interoperability

Data standards and community stewardship are critical elements for social determinants of health (SDOH) data exchange, according to Greg Bloom, strategic advisor on community resources and engagement for the Gravity Project, a community-led HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Accelerator.

The Gravity Project worked with healthcare stakeholders such as health IT vendors, payers, providers, philanthropies, and federal and state government officials to develop a foundational elements framework for SDOH information exchange.

Bloom emphasized that the framework is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it’s a set of conceptual guidelines that can help shape the planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of initiatives to facilitate social information exchange.

“These foundational elements include community readiness and stewardship, mission and purpose, values and principles, policy, legal, finance, measurement and evaluation, implementation services, technical infrastructure and data standards, user support and learning networks, and governance,” he noted during an ONC SDOH information exchange webinar on March 29.
