How Patient Activation Made It Possible to Thrive with Kidney Disease
By DAVE WHITE
It had been 10 years since I’d seen a doctor when I arrived at the Emergency Room at George Washington University Hospital in October 2009. I was able to climb the first flight of stairs, but after I froze on the second, they brought me in on a wheelchair.

Aspects of Social Determinants of Health: An Introduction
It’s always been pretty obvious that factors such as wealth, race, education, and the quality of food and water have enormous impacts on health. But only in the past few years have the medical professions tried to quantify and capture these factors. Given that the field is increasingly digitized and data-driven, health IT is responsible for collecting and analyzing social determinants of health (SDoH). Data can both call out SDoH and help to address its effects.
An example of calling out SDoH was cited by Dr. Sherri Onyiego, Medical Director for the Texas Market at Equality Health. They use claims data to track use o...
