**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

Philadelphia, PA – October 28, 2024 – PolicyMap, a recognized leader in mapping and geographic data solutions, is excited to announce the availability of its Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) dataset on the Snowflake Marketplace. This integration gives Snowflake users instant, cloud-based access to PolicyMap’s extensive geospatial data, streamlining how organizations can analyze, interpret, and act on the non-medical drivers of health within communities.

Now, with PolicyMap’s SDOH data on the Snowflake Marketplace, healthcare providers, payors, life sciences companies, academics, and government health agencies have powerful new tools to pinpoint and address the factors that shape community health outcomes. 

Uncovering the Factors that Shape Health Outcomes

PolicyMap’s SDOH dataset provides a rich, multi-dimensional view of non-medical influences on health—from community demographics and economic conditions to access to nutritious food, quality of housing, and healthcare services. Snowflake users can leverage this dataset to:

  • Identify at-risk communities and health disparities down to zip code or neighborhood level.
  • Develop precise, data-driven interventions addressing specific community needs.
  • Optimize resource allocation and program impact across diverse populations.

“Our mission at PolicyMap is to make critical community data easily accessible to support better decision-making for health and social equity,” said Brian Blacker, PolicyMap’s Senior Director of Product and Client Solutions. “With PolicyMap data now on the Snowflake Marketplace, organizations can immediately access up-to-date social determinants data without data management hassles, accelerating their path to actionable insights.”

Enhanced Access and Collaboration through Snowflake Marketplace

Snowflake Marketplace’s Cross-Cloud Snowgrid and Secure Data Sharing technology means that PolicyMap’s SDOH data can be accessed without complex FTP, API, or ETL configurations. By integrating PolicyMap’s data directly into Snowflake’s secure cloud environment, users can eliminate data silos, simplify architectures, and focus on generating insights.

PolicyMap’s data on Snowflake opens new possibilities for healthcare organizations looking to integrate SDOH with clinical and claims data. This connection enables more comprehensive patient population analysis and the development of advanced machine learning models that account for social and environmental factors, ultimately improving prediction accuracy and risk management.

“Snowflake’s open, interoperable ecosystem allows healthcare and life sciences organizations to streamline data integration and enrich decision-making with high-quality, contextually relevant data,” said Joel Nadelman, PolicyMap’s Chief Growth Officer. “PolicyMap’s SDOH data brings a critical new dimension to Snowflake’s Marketplace, supporting users as they address health inequities and improve outcomes.”

Applications of PolicyMap’s SDOH Data for Business and Health Initiatives

Organizations using PolicyMap’s data on Snowflake can pursue innovative applications in healthcare and beyond:

  • Population Health Management: Draw on SDOH data to produce federally mandated Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) reports and to guide strategic health initiatives.
  • Life Sciences and Clinical Trials: Identify areas with unique health challenges to aid in community outreach, cohort planning, and clinical trial design.
  • Location Planning and Expansion: Identify gaps in service and target underserved communities to expand health access.
  • Machine Learning and Predictive Analytics: Enhance models with social determinants data to improve risk assessment and outcomes prediction.
  • Economic Impact Analysis: Gauge the socio-economic benefits of community investments, particularly in underserved areas, by analyzing health outcomes linked to social determinants.
