What’s Coming
Beginning in September 2025, hospitals must submit to the state detailed equity reports containing:
- 11 structural measures with 1,800+ data fields
- 9 stratified core quality measures across 9 variables
- Rate ratios of stratification groups
- A comprehensive health equity plan
The Department of Health Care Access and Information has released a measure submission guide with more details on reporting requirements, as well as a report template (download). For the full text of the bill establishing these requirements, visit the Legislature’s website. Implementing regulations are anticipated to be released in the coming weeks, but will not materially change the requirements — get started today!
HQI Can Help Hospitals Save Time & Money
Because hospitals that participate in HQIP already share these data, HQI can facilitate this reporting by:
- Providing an HCAI-compliant report in a ready-to-upload format (>95% complete)
- Integrating data from existing sources to avoid custom data pulls for your team
- Preparing structural measures based on tested algorithms
- Building the baseline data infrastructure for rate ratios with pre-filled numerators, denominators, and rates
- Offering access to our expert support team to help with finalizing your report
Learn more in this summary of the measures and strata that HQI will cover for hospitals and systems.
More details are available in HQI’s flyer.
