March 27 Webinar Will Detail New HQI Program to Support Mandatory Health Equity Reporting

The Hospital Quality Institute (HQI), as part of its Hospital Quality Improvement Platform (HQIP), has released a new reporting service that includes 95% of the information hospitals are required to report by Sept. 30 under Assembly Bill 1204.  

HQI is hosting a webinar on March 27 offering detailed guidance on these reporting measures. It is the second in 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 to meet the state requirement. 

As part of that report, HQI supports 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
