This is your last opportunity to get expert support before the AB 1204 submission deadline. In this final session of the HQI equity reporting webinar series, we’ll walk through how to upload your completed report using HCAI’s submission portal, troubleshoot common data or formatting errors, and meet the requirement to post your hospital’s equity report online. We’ll also address the specific requirements and strategies for submitting a system-level report, including how to ensure consistent data across hospitals and how to handle incomplete participation. If your hospital or health system is submitting in the final week, this session is essential.
Presentation topics include:
- Step through the process of uploading equity reports to HCAI’s submission portal.
- Troubleshoot common errors and suppressed/missing data issues.
- Learn how to publish final reports to hospital websites and meet public transparency requirements.
