Program Description
In collaboration with WHA Information Center (WHAIC), the WHA quality team is presenting The Journey to a Healthier Wisconsin – Tales from the Trenches’ Part 4 webinar. This webinar will provide another unique case study from Fort HealthCare to discuss their approach on SDOH collection and Z-code reporting. In addition, representatives from Unite Us will discuss solutions to connect patients with community-based resources, gain visibility beyond the four walls of your organization, and better invest in community benefit programs. This is the final webinar in a four-part social determinants of health (SDOH) series that provides hospitals and health systems valuable information to help improve health outcomes in their communities. SDOH can have a profound impact on health outcomes; and yet, developing and sustaining processes to build a culture of health remains a challenge. Register here to attend the Tales from the Trenches Part 4 webinar.
