The agency is committed to “designing, implementing, and operationalizing policies and programs [to] eliminate avoidable differences in health outcomes experienced by people who are disadvantaged or underserved.” During this webinar, PYA Principal Martie Ross and Senior Manager Kathy Reep will explain those policies and programs and discuss their impact on providers. Martie and Kathy will address CMS’s definition of health equity; health equity-related quality reporting requirements; screening patients for health-related social needs; the impact of Z-codes; and incorporating health equity into strategic plans.\n \n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nAt the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:\n\nDefine CMS’ definition of health equity.\nDescribe the new health equity-related quality CMS reporting requirements.\nDiscuss the future impact of Z-codes on reimbursement.\n\n \nSPEAKER:\nKathy Reep has more than three decades of leadership experience in the health care industry.
