US-based health management organisation ZeOmega has integrated its Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Social Care solution with Microsoft's Cloud for Healthcare platform.
The combination of these technologies aims to increase the efficiency of health plans by automating workflows and providing a comprehensive view of care needs for populations.
By addressing social determinants of health such as transportation and food insecurity, the integration seeks to improve member and patient engagement, reduce expensive hospitalisations and optimise patient care.
It will allow healthcare professionals to access visualisations of social, clinical and behavioural information on one platform.
This is intended to empower case managers, clinicians and other professionals to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions within their existing workflows.
Microsoft US Health and Life Sciences vice-president Nina Somerville said: “ZeOmega’s SDOH solution integration with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare capabilities and Power Platform drives real impact for our customers; enabling SDOH to be woven into the fabric of care delivery to ensure improved whole-person health outcomes at both an individual and population level.
“ZeOmega’s SDOH solution allows customers to take advantage of the flexibility, scalability, security, and innovation the Microsoft Cloud provides.”
According to ZeOmega, the integration with Azure will ensure administrative efficiency, compatibility and access, ultimately allowing healthcare organisations to prioritise patient care and improve outcomes related to social determinants of health.
ZeOmega vice-president of advanced analytics Pravin Pant said: “Our SDOH solution integrated with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare will help clients deliver even more effective and efficient member engagement as they identify risks and needs across geographic areas, populations, and at an individual level.
“Equipping our robust platform with the capabilities of Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and Power Platform functionality expands healthcare leaders’ access to actionable insights to develop precision strategy and improve patient outcomes and ROI for their organisations, all from one unified workflow.”
