Community healthcare providers, whether clinics, hospitals, or nonprofit agencies, serve as vital access points for health services, especially for underserved populations. But treating medical symptoms alone isn't enough. Understanding and addressing the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) is essential for improving patient outcomes.
That's where SocialRoots.ai, a leading Community Healthcare Management Software (CHMS), steps in. Purpose-built for organizations like Community Family Clinic, Community Health Clinic, Family Health Center, and Community Hospital, SocialRoots.ai equips healthcare providers with tools to collect, manage, and report SDOH data, transforming how care is delivered.
Social Determinants of Health refer to non-medical factors that influence health outcomes—things like housing conditions, education, employment, food access, and transportation. These factors contribute more to a person's overall health than clinical care alone.
Community-based facilities such as Charity Care Clinics, Community Medical Centers, and Community Health Partners often encounter patients managing health conditions while facing multiple social challenges. A lack of reliable transportation can lead to missed appointments, and limited income may result in poor nutrition or unfilled prescriptions.
Without insight into these factors, providers operate with an incomplete picture. SocialRoots.ai changes that enable healthcare teams to incorporate SDOH data into daily workflows, helping them identify needs early and coordinate appropriate care.
SocialRoots.ai is an all-in-one platform designed for the unique needs of community health organizations. Here's what it brings to the table:
The platform provides customizable screening tools to capture social health information at intake or during patient interactions. Staff can use standardized assessments like PRAPARE or tailor questionnaires to fit their population's needs. Data is stored securely and integrated directly into patient records.
Based on collected data, SocialRoots.ai flags patients who face social risks, such as housing instability or food insecurity. This allows teams to prioritize outreach, offer targeted services, and follow up on high-risk cases more efficiently.
Healthcare providers can generate direct referrals to local service organizations, food banks, housing assistance programs, and other community partners. The platform tracks the referral process end-to-end, ensuring follow-through and accountability.
SocialRoots.ai helps administrators and care managers visualize trends in social needs across their patient population. This data supports strategic planning, performance evaluation, and population health management.
Reporting can be time-consuming for community health centers that rely on grants or public funding. SocialRoots.ai simplifies this process with automated reporting aligned with federal and state requirements, saving staff time and improving accuracy. This relief from administrative burden allows healthcare providers to focus more on patient care, bringing a sense of relief.
Whether it's a Community Memorial Health Center, Community Health Care Network, or a Nonprofit Family Health Clinic, SocialRoots.ai is built with real-world challenges in mind. Its user-friendly interface is straightforward and intuitive, reducing training time and increasing team adoption, making the audience feel at ease.
The software integrates easily with existing Electronic Health Records (EHRs), helping organizations avoid data silos and maintain a unified view of each patient. It also supports multi-agency coordination, allowing healthcare teams and social service partners to collaborate more effectively.
Organizations using SocialRoots.ai report measurable improvements in both care delivery and patient outcomes. For example, a Community Health Center serving a predominantly low-income population found that over 40% of its patients had trouble accessing fresh food. Using the platform's insights, the center connected with local food providers and initiated a nutrition support program, ultimately reducing ER visits related to uncontrolled diabetes.
Other facilities have seen better care coordination, fewer missed appointments, and stronger engagement with patients who previously felt overlooked by the healthcare system.
SocialRoots.ai is more than a data platform. It's a strategic partner for community-focused care. Healthcare teams using the software are empowered to proactively address social barriers to health, collaborate with community-based organizations, demonstrate impact to funders and stakeholders, and deliver personalized care built around the patient's environment.SocialRoots.ai is more than a data platform.
