Utah Alliance for the Determinants of Health

A person’s health is affected by many

factors—and as much as 60 percent
of the impact comes from social,
environmental, and behavioral factors.
Addressing these social determinants of
health has great potential to improve
health and lower costs.

Focusing on these non-medical health

drivers (listed in the diagram to the right)
necessitates transcending traditional
healthcare system approaches and
requires innovative, comprehensive, and
collaborative solutions from the public
and private sectors.

health that typically aren’t addressed through
clinical care but rather through community
service agencies. They are sometimes
characterized as primary and secondary.

Forming the Alliance
Intermountain Healthcare is collaborating with public and private partners to form the
Utah Alliance for the Determinants of Health. The Alliance is a three-year demonstration
to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs by addressing the social
determinants of health needs of SelectHealth Medicaid members.

The approach includes assessing SelectHealth members for social needs and assisting
with coordination of those needs. It will also include working with community partners to
ensure services are available and aligned with the members’ needs.

Areas of Focus
The Alliance will implement in Weber and Washington counties with a focus on
communities with a large number of SelectHealth Medicaid members. In Ogden those
areas include zip codes 84401 and 84403.
