Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership with HealthWise Data, a leading healthcare data and analytics firm bridging the gap between clinical outcomes and Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) domains. The collaboration integrates SDoH attributes into the Clarivate Real-World Data repository, offering comprehensive patient insights and enabling life science, healthcare and research professionals to enhance patient outcomes and healthcare equity.
Crucial determinants such as income, education, ethnicity and smoking activity, coupled with unique predictive models around health conscientiousness and lifestyle habits, are known to significantly influence health outcomes and are captured within HealthWise Data’s SDoH attributes. Through the partnership with HealthWise Data, these non-medical factors are integrated within the Clarivate Real-World Data Product, providing nuanced insights into patient populations, facilitating targeted interventions and ultimately contributing to enhanced health equity.
Bob Morrison, VP RWD Data Strategy and Operations, Clarivate, said: “As a part of our ongoing commitment to delivering excellence in real world data, our partnership with HealthWise Data represents a significant milestone in our mission to provide clients with connected data and transformative insights. By integrating SDoH attributes into the Clarivate Real-World Data product, we offer payers and providers a comprehensive and unified source of truth, empowering more informed decision-making. This collaboration underscores our joint dedication to driving effective public health interventions and addressing disparities, ultimately fostering improved patient outcomes and advancing healthcare equity.”
Anne Smith, CEO, HealthWise Data, said: “We are delighted to engage in a strategic partnership with Clarivate. Layering HealthWise Data’s unique SDoH and consumer health and wellness behavioral scores on top of clinical data from Clarivate will provide clients with a more robust view of the patient as a person and improve patient outcomes.”
SDoH-enhanced RWD plays a vital role in facilitating public health interventions by identifying populations at heightened risk or that are underserved for specific health concerns, enabling precise and effective early prevention measures. Through a deeper understanding of the influence of social and environmental factors on health outcomes and healthcare accessibility, health systems and providers can engage in collaborative efforts with communities and public health organizations to comprehensively address these factors, reducing health disparities and promoting health equity.
