Promising Practices and Lessons Learned: January 2019

HITEQ Center 0 32930

The HITEQ Center interviewed ten health centers and health center partners to identify solutions and promising practices for addressing childhood obesity across the health center program. The focus included how health centers are meeting the Uniform Data System (UDS) measure and how they are taking further steps to identify and intervene with those at risk of obesity leveraging health information technology, electronic health records, and the data they have. Seven key areas are identified in the resulting issue brief.

Coding Social Determinants of Health (SDH) for Optimizing Value

An Infographic for Providers on the Benefits of Coding for SDH

HITEQ Center 0 32783

The purpose of the infographic is to describe how SDH data would be used for a variety of goals that would have traction with the clinic staff audience who may likely need to modify workflows and behavior in order to collect such data.  The visual case could be used in presentations or hung on a provider break room wall.

Alyssa Thomas 0 20693

This webinar complemented our policy brief and discussed how the ICD-10-CM code for homelessness (Z59.0) was implemented at a Health Care for the Homeless grantee in Colorado, and how a hospital system instituted a housing status screening tool in Pennsylvania. A leading managed care entity shared why Medicaid plans need to have this information, and preliminary results from a pilot project in Texas using the Z59.0 code to identify homelessness among Medicaid beneficiaries were reviewed.
