Social Drivers of Health

Overview

Hospitals across the Kansas City Region work daily to improve care and the health of the communities they serve. Data is key in identifying obstacles to health that can contribute to health disparities that can be found in every community. These can occur across diverse populations and geographies and their universal common denominator is most often nonmedical factors which can explain up to 80% of an individual’s health outcomes. The Kansas City Metropolitan Healthcare Council’s Social Drivers of Health dashboard includes powerful data from the Kansas and Missouri Hospital Associations on hospital experiences for residents of the 14 county bi-state service area. The dashboard is designed to empower efforts aimed at improving the health and well-being of communities served by KCMHC.
