Equity in healthcare and its social determinants are fundamental pillars of modern healthcare. In this article, we will explore how Sociants is leading the effort to improve equity in Puerto Rico's healthcare sector.
What Does Health Equity Mean?
Health equity means that all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic background, gender, race, or sexual orientation, have equal opportunities to achieve their maximum potential for health and well-being.
Our Commitment to Equity and Social Determinants of Health
Sociants 3.0 promotes health equity through three strategic approaches that have a significant impact on communities:
1. Providing Visibility to Service Providers
Sociants advocate for health equity by providing visibility to the community and healthcare service providers. The platform creates a comprehensive digital repository of providers that can be explored based on the social needs being addressed. This greatly facilitates the identification of relevant resources and services, ensuring that communities have access to the right solutions for their specific needs.
2. Facilitating Collaboration Among Multiple Providers
Sociants promote effective collaboration among multiple healthcare service providers and community providers. Through digital individual profiles and a referral management system, multiple entities can coordinate their efforts to provide comprehensive and holistic services to communities. This synergy among providers ensures that people have greater access to the comprehensive care they deserve, regardless of their socioeconomic or demographic situation.
3. Identifying Needs and Collecting Impact Measures
Health equity is enhanced when communities can directly express their needs. With Sociants, you can send customized surveys to allow communities to inform you of their needs now. Additionally, the platform creates dynamic reports that measure the effectiveness of services provided in a specific community. This ensures that resources are allocated to those who need them most and that interventions are tailored to the real needs of communities.
In summary, Sociants not only recognize the importance of health equity but also take concrete steps to achieve it. By providing visibility to providers, fostering collaboration among them, and enabling communities to channel their needs, Sociants play a crucial role in promoting a more equitable and accessible healthcare system for everyone."
