Starting September 30, 2025, and annual thereafter, all California hospitals and hospital systems must create, publish, and submit to the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI): (a) Equity Reports with 11 structural measures and 2-9 core quality measures stratified by 9 demographic/condition variables (e.g., race/ethnicity, age, payor, and language); and (b) Equity Plans identifying the Top 10 disparities in the Equity Report and plans to address them, and describe performance across 6 priority areas (e.g., care coordination and access to care). Meeting the reporting requirements is going to be challenging for members, particularly small, rural, critical access, and district hospitals, and small hospital systems.
To ease the reporting burden for members, Hospital Quality Institute (HQI)’s Hospital Quality Improvement Platform (HQIP) will be programmed to show stratified reports for calculable measures and generate pre-filled equity reports with all available data as Excel templates for hospitals to edit. Attend this webinar to learn the details about these new HCAI reporting requirements and the support that will be available from HQI to help hospitals and systems comply with these new requirements.
Presentation topics include:
- Outline the AB 1204 reporting requirements, including the creation and submission of Equity Reports and Equity Plans by California hospitals and hospital systems.
- Learn about the support available through Hospital Quality Institute (HQI) for compliance with these HCAI reporting requirements.
