Getting ready for joint commission and CMS health equity requirements
Feb. 22, 2023 10 - 11 a.m. CT
About
Recently, The Joint Commission (TJC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced their commitment to driving health equity. These new requirements include the expansion of the collection, reporting, and analysis of standardized data. Hospitals and health systems should prepare now to meet these new requirements.
During this webinar, Dr. Shawn Rossi, DHA, FACHE, will cover the upcoming deadlines and reporting requirements for both TJC and CMS reporting. She will address how community health needs assessments can be used to set strategic direction for the requirements and offer additional resources to help hospitals get ready for the new requirements.

- Describe the new health equity-related requirements for the TJC and CMS.
- Assess hospital readiness to meet the TJC and CMS requirements.
