MaHIMA Fall Conference Series - Session 1 will focus on the Social Determinants of Health
This session will consist of 2 presentations from 11am to 1pm EST.
11am -12pm EST Presentation 1 Title: Social Determinants of Health, HCCs and Z-Codes

Presenter: Phil Goyea, Healthcare Solutions Executive, 3M Health Information Systems, Inc. Summary: Social Determinants of Health have become increasingly important in terms of value-based care and have become a high priority for payers and government entities. Z-codes are used to capture data on the social needs of their patient population which identify non-medical factors that can have a profound impact on the well-being of your patient population. While HCCs will continue to be the foundation for population health-based reimbursement, new approaches to Health Equity have driven added coding requirements around Z-codes.
This session will:
- Review Social Determinants of Health and how factors such as health literacy, inadequate housing and inequalities in accessibility to health care can drive poor patient outcomes.
- Revisit HCCs part of the foundation for managing patient's chronic disease burdens and how providers are reimbursed to care for these populations.
- Review Z-codes which are the ICD-10 encounter reason codes used to document Social Determinants of Health data.
- Discuss changes in technology and artificial intelligence being developed to adapt to changes in coding requirements.
Attendees will have a better understanding of how Health Equity plays a major part around patient outcomes, how HCCs continue to be the foundation for reimbursement around population health and how Z-codes help tell the whole patient story.
12pm -1pm EST Presentation 2 Title: Understanding and Capturing SDOH: CDI and Coding Collaboration

Presenter: Kim Conner, BSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDI Education Specialist, ACDIS Summary: This session will cover why it is important to capture SDOH and the challenges in capturing the diagnosis code(s), locating them in the record and documentation and developing a process between CDI and Coding.
