MedeAnalytics, Socially Determined, and Mathematica Partner to Quantify Impact of Social Determinants of Health

MedeAnalytics, a healthcare enterprise data enrichment platform and analytics software-as-a-service provider, has announced a strategic collaboration with Socially Determined and Mathematica aimed at transforming how the healthcare industry measures and understands the financial impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) interventions.

This partnership will provide healthcare organizations with a data-driven, actuarially validated framework for assessing the return on investment of interventions addressing social risk factors, which often create significant hidden costs and challenges for meeting quality measures.

The collaboration has developed "Social Risk Insights — Measures & Outcomes," a solution that will be integrated within the MedeAnalytics Health Fabric™ enterprise platform. This innovative approach offers healthcare providers and payers a structured, evidence-based methodology to quantify the financial and clinical consequences of social risk factors such as housing instability, transportation barriers, and unemployment.

Each organization brings specific expertise to the partnership:

• Socially Determined contributes proprietary social risk scores from its SocialScape® platform, providing insights into specific social risk factors affecting individual patients.

• MedeAnalytics serves as the central technology and analytics platform, with its Health Fabric™ integrating SDOH risk data with existing financial, clinical, claims, and public data.

• Mathematica applies its actuarial expertise to validate findings, quantify financial impacts, and develop credible ROI models while recommending specific interventions.

The scalable nature of the MedeAnalytics Health Fabric™ platform will facilitate stronger alignment with value-based care models, including streamlining implementation of alternative payment models and supporting other enterprise analytics initiatives like quality improvement, network optimization, and provider alignment.

"The healthcare system is increasingly accountable for outcomes and disease progression—80% of which are driven by social factors," said Trenor Williams, CEO of Socially Determined. "By embedding our social risk intelligence into a financial impact framework validated by Mathematica and deployed through MedeAnalytics, we enable healthcare organizations to directly measure and manage the ROI of social interventions at scale."

This collaborative initiative addresses a critical gap in healthcare analytics by providing organizations with actionable insights into the true costs and benefits of addressing social determinants of health, potentially transforming how resources are allocated to improve population health outcomes while optimizing financial performance.
