Description
Social determinants of health is THE buzz term for providers, clinicians, coders, and HIM generalists… but what’s the big deal? Sure, we know there are codes and coding guidelines, but why is collecting this information so important and where does the data go? This webinar provides an overview of the 5 domains of SDOH, initiatives to increase Z code capture rates, and the core measures that are used to improve health equity nationwide.
Objectives:
- List the 5 domains of SDOH
- Recognize the difference between social determinants of health and health related social needs (HRSN)
- Determine when an SDOH code is reportable based on provider/clinician documentation
