AHIMA researchers say the complex nature of the collection, coding, use and exchange of social determinant data requires more cross-sector coordination and federal investment.
A new American Health Information Management Association study aimed to find a better understanding of the operational realities of how social determinants of health data is used in real-world healthcare scenarios, finding a lack of standardization, insufficient training and limited cross-sector use.

The study, conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, surveyed more than 2,600 AHIMA members and nonmembers from a pool of 41,000 potential respondents between August 24 and September 9, 2022.
Respondents included coding professionals; managers, directors and vice presidents of health information management; HIM team members and executives.
