Expanding on New Concepts: Z-Codes and Health Disparities

This SHIP Webinar focused on Expanding on New Concepts through the SHIP grant. We heard  from Madeline Wilson, Quality and Patient Safety Advisor, from the Indiana Hospital Association on Z-Codes and Health Disparities. The collection and application of Z-codes is an important step in identifying community social determinants of health (SDOH) that can be used to encourage community healthiness.
