Social determinants of health (SDoH) are increasingly important factors for population health, healthcare outcomes, and care delivery. However, many of these factors are not reliably captured within structured electronic health record (EHR) data. In this work, we evaluated and adapted a previously published NLP tool to include additional social risk factors for deployment at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in an Acute Myocardial Infarction cohort. We developed a transformation of the SDoH outputs of the tool into the OMOP common data model (CDM) for re-use across many potential use cases, yielding performance measures across 8 SDoH classes of precision 0.83 recall 0.74 and F-measure of 0.78.
