EHF’s most recent venture in addressing SDOH financing and moving healthcare structures upstream, was a recent exploration of the Aggregated Precision Investment (API) model as another innovative SDOH financing model. In short, the API model seeks to provide justification to investors by highlighting the financial value and short-term ROI of SDOH interventions. Through this collaborative model, expenses are calculated based on the amount of fiscal benefit expected from the execution of the intervention.

EHF’s interest in the feasibility of this model is rooted in our goals of redirecting financial resources to support upstream SDOH investments. As a philanthropic organization, we are committed to leveraging our resources to produce research that will allow healthcare stakeholders to make well-informed decisions on their investments in non-medical heath drivers. Our hope is that health financing models, such as API, continue to be explored and piloted for the potential benefits to the health and well-being of that the interventions serve.
