March 12 Webinar Will Detail New HQI Program to Support Mandatory Health Equity Reporting

What’s happening: The Hospital Quality Institute (HQI) has released a new reporting service, as part of its Hospital Quality Improvement Platform (HQIP), that includes 95% of the information hospitals are required to report by Sept. 30.

What else to know: More information about the requirements — created under Assembly Bill 1204 (Statutes of 2021) — and HQI’s solution will be shared at a webinar on March 12. This webinar is the first of a four-part series; more information can be found on HQI’s website.

Through HQIP participating hospitals can receive a report that’s more than 95% complete for submission to the Department of Health Care Access and Information.

As part of that report, HQI can support hospitals by: 

  • Integrating data from existing sources so custom data pulls are not needed
  • Preparing structural measures based on tested algorithms
  • Building the baseline data infrastructure for rate ratios with pre-filled numerators, denominators, and rates

HQI’s team of experts is available through the entire process, saving hospitals time and frustration. To learn more, visit the HQI website or contact hqianalytics@hqinstitute.org.
