In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes.

A good population health strategy requires a breadth of health data to make it work. Across social determinants of health data, patient data and data from non-traditional sources, healthcare organizations and professionals can design interventions tailored to better support chronic disease management and, ideally, prevention.

But how can healthcare providers and their insurer counterparts make effective use of that data to promote better outcomes? And at what point do patient engagement and an empathic human touch need to balance out SDOH data?

Featuring: Roy Beveridge, MD, senior strategic advisory at Avalere Health, and Sarah Ahmad, CEO of CAQH

In today's episode, we'll cover…

The need for tailored healthcare approaches
The role of health data analytics tools
The marriage of information and human touch in a digitized population health space

And more!
