Socially Determined and Acentra Health Partner to Advance Whole Person, Whole Population Healthcare through Enhanced Analytics

WASHINGTON, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Socially Determined, a social risk analytics and solutions company leading the integration of health and social care, and Acentra Health, a technology and health solutions and services company dedicated to accelerating better outcomes for its government and commercial healthcare clients and the populations they serve, have partnered to deliver the power of data, raw computing, and AI analytics to help state healthcare agencies more accurately predict and target interventions that improve health outcomes for individuals and communities, and reduce program costs.

The partnership allows Acentra Health to leverage Socially Determined's nationwide access to proprietary advanced social risk data and derived risk scores to extract deeper insights from Medicaid claims data. This data access further advances Acentra Health's AI and analytics infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver a repeatable process of real-time intelligence and analysis that further promotes population health.

"Integrating social risk data into Acentra Health's enterprise analytics represents a major step forward in addressing the entire spectrum of social-clinical factors that drive health outcomes," said Trenor Williams, MD, CEO and Co-founder, Socially Determined. "We're pleased to partner with Acentra Health in accelerating their efforts to bring a novel analytics approach to the state marketplace for their clients."

A Wholistic Data Model Accelerates the Analytic Impact

Acentra Health's approach to delivering a "whole person, whole population" analytics model combines nationwide community risk factors, individual social risk data, and state-based claims analytics into a wholistic health informatics model. This combination enables deeper insights into the complex factors that influence health outcomes, going well beyond understanding gleaned from traditional claims analysis. Fueled by Acentra Health's advanced analytics and AI infrastructure, this 360-degree view empowers healthcare providers with actionable information to determine their next best action for socio-clinically susceptible groups, delivering measurable impact across diverse populations.

Through this partnership, Acentra Health will enhance its existing solutions by integrating Socially Determined's nationwide social risk data with its analytics offerings, allowing for:

• Precise Identification of High-Risk Cohorts: Enabling states to target interventions that improve outcomes for individuals and cohorts at the highest risk levels.
