Case Study
Human Data Science and Social Determinants
Harnessing social determinants in medical coding can improve health outcomes

Human Data Science promotes human health and wellness by focusing on the individual through data-driven treatment decisions. UnitedHealthcare and the American Medical Association are using Human Data Science to improve patient outcomes and access to care through the creation of more than 20 new ICD-10 codes that detail social determinants of health.

These new codes will be able to trigger referrals to social and government services during routine medical encounters to better address people's unique medical and social needs, connecting them directly to local and national resources within their communities.
