ATLANTA — LexisNexis Risk Solutions, a leading provider of data and analytics, recently announced that its LexisNexis Health Equity and Inclusion Insights has been selected as the winner of the “Best Healthcare Big Data Solution” award in the 8th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards, an independent market intelligence awards programs that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global digital health and medical technology market.
LexisNexis Health Equity and Inclusion Insights provides organizations with comprehensive, actionable, individual-level data on social drivers of health (SDoH). These nuanced insights offer a deep understanding of how SDoH impact an individual’s access to care, health outcomes, and costs. The solution addresses challenges that disproportionately impact underserved individuals and communities by helping healthcare providers and researchers better understand a patient’s environment and integrate those insights into their care plan or analysis.
“LexisNexis Risk Solutions is helping healthcare organizations understand consumers by accessing insights beyond clinical silos, providing a more complete picture of the patient. Many factors that impact patient health occur outside the doctor’s office, but these non-clinical variables are difficult to measure,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “LexisNexis Health Equity and Inclusion Insights bridges the gap, providing essential insights to improve care access and outcomes for underserved patients and populations. Understanding social determinants of health helps organizations address disparities and work toward equitable healthcare.”
The MedTech Breakthrough Awards recognizes the innovation, hard work and success in a range of health and medical technology categories, including Telehealth, Clinical Administration, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), Virtual Care, Medical Devices, Medical Data & Privacy, and many more. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 18 different countries.
“We’re honored to receive the ‘Best Healthcare Big Data Solution’ award from MedTech Breakthrough for our LexisNexis Health Equity and Inclusion Insights solution,” said Diana Zuskov, associate vice president of healthcare strategy and innovation, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “We’re proud to help healthcare organizations uncover the insights they need to address health disparities head-on and overcome social barriers to quality care.”
LexisNexis Health Equity and Inclusion Insights can also help organizations meet new guidelines, policies, and regulatory efforts aimed at ensuring inclusive research as well as meaningfully advancing health equity. In clinical trials, SDoH helps ensure diverse representation and improves participant retention. In the care delivery setting, these insights support the enhancement of personalized care to boost adherence to medications, support ongoing engagement, reduce gaps in care, and improve outcomes.
