Aunt Bertha named the top performer in 2021 Best in KLAS report in Social Determinants of Health Networks category

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The  KLAS Research 2021 Best in KLAS report has named Aunt Bertha the top performer in Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Networks based on feedback from health care organizations over the past year.

For more than 20 years, KLAS Research, considered one of the premier research firms for the global health IT sector, has provided accurate, impartial and honest insights about software solutions for the health care industry. KLAS' annual rankings are based on in-depth interviews and survey data captured over a period of 12 months, recognizing software and service companies that excel in helping health care professionals improve patient care.

For the first time, the Best in KLAS Research report includes vendors in the SDoH space. In recent years, more health providers and insurers have emphasized the importance of addressing SDoH to improve health outcomes and incorporated social care referral solutions into their care plans.

KLAS' attention to SDoH this year provides an important opportunity for providers worldwide to learn about the different approaches vendors take to assist health care companies in connecting their patients with free and reduced-cost resources, like food, financial assistance, counseling, substance abuse support and more. Aunt Bertha is proud to be the only officially ranked vendor in this category.

In this year's report, Aunt Bertha received a score of 91.7 in the SDoH Networks category and received an A grade in the subcategories of culture, loyalty, relationships and value. Additionally, 100% of respondents said Aunt Bertha keeps all promises, is part of their company's long-term plans and, "avoids charging for every little thing." Those surveyed also unanimously agreed they would choose Aunt Bertha again if given the opportunity.

"We strive to understand our customers' needs and community needs, and we continue to refine our platform so more customers can connect their patients to programs that address social determinants of health in their communities. We are honored to receive this designation, and we will continue to enhance our platform to serve our partners, nonprofits and the public good."
