https://www.hl7.org/gravity/ https://confluence.hl7.org/display/GRAV/The+Gravity+Project Mission: To create and maintain a consensus-building community to expand available SDOH core data for interoperability and accelerate standards-based information exchange by using HL7® FHIR®. The Gravity Project was initiated in November 2018 by SIREN with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to convene broad stakeholder groups in identifying and harmonizing social risk factor data for interoperable electronic health information exchange. The project is a direct response to recommendations and calls to action around creating national standards for representing SDH data in EHRs. Growing evidence demonstrates strong links between social risk and an individual's health and health care utilization. This correlation has increasingly led health systems to incorporate social risk data into clinical decision making to improve health outcomes and help reduce costs. The Gravity Project seeks to identify coded data elements and associated value sets to represent social determinants of health data documented in EHRs across four clinical activities: screening, diagnosis, planning, and interventions. The project is focused on three specific social risk domains: food insecurity, housing instability and quality, and transportation access. These domains were selected based both on existing research linking these factors with health and utilization and on active experiments related to these domains, including in federal, state, or local demonstration projects.
