Abstract
Health care organizations face substantial challenges in measuring and addressing the impact of health-related social needs on health outcomes and health care delivery. A major barrier is the absence of a validated, standardised, and objective marker that can capture dynamic changes in socioeconomic status at the individual level without requiring direct patient contact.
Backed by over 20 years of continuous NIH funding in the U.S., the aim of this seminar is to introduce the Mayo Clinic’s HOUSES (HOUsing-based SES Index) Program. The innovative HOUSES Platform is a cloud-based solution accessible across the U.S. health ecosystem. It provides an objective, standardized socioeconomic status metric, expressed in percentiles, for individuals living in single-family homes, apartments, or mobile homes. The platform enables the capture of dynamic changes in socioeconomic status over two decades, creating new opportunities for research, health care delivery, and health equity.
