June 18, 2024- Vizient, Inc. participated in the Healthcare Innovation Expo on Capitol Hill, hosted by the Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) in collaboration with the Health Care Innovation Caucus. During the event, Vizient showcased the patent pending Vizient® Vulnerability Index™, which is now publicly available, to forty plus lawmakers and congressional staff, demonstrating how it helps providers gain actionable insights into their community’s social needs to target interventions and improve care delivery.
At the expo, Vizient experts provided interactive maps and showed how the Vizient Vulnerability Index aggregates 43 social determinants of health data points across nine categories, affecting outcomes like chronic disease prevalence and hospital readmissions at local, regional, and national levels. Vizient staff also offered personalized demonstrations to help policymakers gain a hyperlocal understanding of the factors affecting the health of people living in their district.
