COVID-19 highlighted deep disparities in health and health access, and underscored that data gaps perpetuate inequities and block progress. To fight health inequity, there must be deeper integration, more seamless transitions and faster intervention, enabled by sharing, integrating and using data in new ways, and at scale. 

By integrating administrative claims and clinical data, including race and ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, language preference, and data on social drivers of health, nonprofit health information organizations (HIOs) can be crucial strategic partners. These organizations can help health plans and public health agencies understand their patient and member populations, identify and reduce health disparities, and prioritize historically underserved populations and communities.
In this session, Manifest MedEx, California’s largest nonprofit HIO, and SameSky Health, a cultural experience company that removes barriers to care, will share how aggregated data from claims, clinical, and social sources are used to:

• Identify and target members for tailored, culturally, and linguistically appropriate outreach.
• Manage population health with insights to address health risks such as chronic conditions.
• Support community information exchanges by coordinating with closed-loop referral platforms to collaborate with community services, such as housing agencies, food banks, and schools for whole-person care.
