Netrin Health and Socially Determined Partner to Advance Value-Based Care for Independent Physician Practices Through Social Risk Data

Collaboration brings SDOH insights to independent physicians, mid-sized medical groups, specialty practices, federally qualified health centers and more.

Washington DC & Great Falls, VA – November 19, 2024 – Netrin Health, a company enabling value-based care for independent physician practices and other healthcare providers in Maryland, and Socially Determined, the social risk analytics and solutions company leading the integration of health and social care, today announced a partnership that enables healthcare providers with the insights they need to deliver more comprehensive care.

Through this partnership, Socially Determined is now the exclusive provider of social determinants of health (SDOH) data and analytics to Netrin Health and its network of independent providers and practices. Integrating Socially Determined’s industry-leading data and analytics into Netrin Health’s population health management platform gives its physician-led network deeper insights into the social risk factors influencing diverse patient populations. This enables providers to deliver more personalized, data-driven healthcare solutions and tailored interventions that improve health outcomes while reducing utilization. 

Netrin Health provides independent physician practices and other healthcare organizations with the people, processes and technology to transform operations while maintaining their independence. This partnership with Socially Determined strengthens Netrin Health’s ability to help these organizations thrive in a value-based care, shared-risk setting. It provides organizations with:

  • Access to Advanced SDOH Data: With the exclusive integration of Socially Determined’s SDOH analytics, Netrin Health equips healthcare providers with new insights that go beyond clinical and claims data, and illuminate the social challenges affecting patient outcomes, leading to more comprehensive care.
  • Comprehensive Healthcare Solutions: Netrin Health’s unified platform now combines SDOH data with clinical insights, wearable technology, and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), empowering healthcare providers to take data-driven, holistic actions that improve patient health outcomes. 
  • Innovation Driving Accountable Care: This partnership aligns with Netrin Health’s mission to drive innovation for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) by reducing unnecessary utilization and enhancing health and business outcomes through focused, data-informed interventions that lead to measurable improvements in patient care.

The inclusion of SDOH data is critical in value-based care, where success depends on understanding the full scope of patient health,” said Arumani Manisundaram, CEO of Netrin Health. “By addressing social factors like transportation, food security, and housing stability, we can deliver more personalized, equitable care that tackles the root causes of health disparities.”

For nearly a decade Netrin Health has led the way in designing care plans that not only improve individual outcomes but also drive health equity across the communities in Maryland that they serve,” said Dr. Trenor Williams, CEO and co-founder of Socially Determined. ”By partnering with Netrin Health, we’re helping to enhance its core business of value-based care, fostering a more equitable healthcare system that bridges the gap between clinical care and the social risk patients face. Together, we can drive better health outcomes and contribute to building stronger, healthier communities.”
