Registration is now at capacity. The on-demand link will be available 24 hours post webinar. 

Is your organization maximizing the potential of ICD-10-CM “Z” codes? Data from ICD-10-CM codes can play a pivotal role in hospitals’ efforts to improve population health. The ICD-10-CM Z codes, which identify non-medical factors that may influence a patient’s health status, provide robust data related to patients’ social needs and is a vital, and often underutilized, tool in hospitals’ efforts to improve the health and well-being of their patients and communities.

In this webinar, participants will learn about how social determinants impact health, how to code them and how coding benefits patients and communities.

What You Will Learn:

• Background on social determinants of health and social needs – and their importance for health and equity.
• The role of hospitals in addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and Social Needs (SNs)
• How hospitals are collecting social needs data.
• ICD-10-CM categories for SDOH.
• ICD-10-CM Official Coding Guidelines affecting SDOH codes.
• Documentation issues related to SDOH coding.
• Why code for social determinants – for patients, for communities, for national advocacy.
• AHA resources to support coding for SDOH.
