Be sure to join us for the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, when Karen Bartrom, director of clinical integration and documentation at Cameron Memorial Hospital in Indiana, will report on how Z codes – the social determinants of health (SDoH) and ICD-10-CM codes – can reveal insights related to the health of a community.
With the mapping of patient SDoH responses to Z-codes, valuable aggregate data on a community’s health disparities can be validated and measurable. And the capturing of Z-codes then moves from anecdotal patient stories to strategic analysis, which opens opportunities to identify and develop community programs – as you will learn during the next upcoming edition of the popular weekly Internet broadcast.
The live broadcast will also feature these other segments:
- Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will report on the latest coding news.
- Journaling John: John Zelem, MD, FACS, founder and CEO of Streamline Solutions Consulting, will continue with his journal entries.
- News Desk: Timothy Powell, CPA, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.
- TalkBack: Erica Remer,MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc. and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention during her popular segment.
