Incorporation of Socioeconomic Status Indicators into Policies for the Meaningful Use of Electronic Health Records

Abstract: Socio-economic status (SES) has an important effect on health. Individuals with lower SES experience more chronic disease, are less likely to receive preventive care, and have shorter life expectancies. As the Affordable Care Act is implemented and increasing numbers of previously uninsured people gain access to health care, the imperative to recognize patients’ SES and develop health initiatives that account for the social determinants of health increases. Health care providers across the nation are adopting … Show more

“…Among the advantages of the voluntary health insurance as a source of the health care system financing we should mention the possibility of contract extension, the relationship between the payment volumes and the amount of the health services rendered (see the works of Farrah, 2013;Chen et al, 2014). When it comes to the disadvantages of this source of financing, special supervisory authorities should be established in order to ensure adequate control over the amount of deductions.…”

“…For instance, there is a wide body of literature that indicates that those individuals living with low socioeconomic status have more chronic illness, receive less preventative care, and die earlier than more advantaged income groups ( Chen, Weider, Konopka, & Danis, 2014 ). Recognizing that HIT may facilitate the collection of SDH information to improve practice and policy, Chen et al (2014) recommended routinely assessing and recording socioeconomic status into the electronic health record.…”

Prioritizing a comprehensive approach to health care that includes routine screening and early identification of the entirety of an individual’s social context would enable the multidisciplinary team to incorporate tailored interventions into the CSCP, thereby synchronizing care and ideally improving overall individual and population-level health outcomes.…”
