The Value Initiative and The AHA Central Office from the American Hospital Association discuss how data from ICD-10-CM codes can play a pivotal role in hospitals’ efforts to improve population health and provide information. The ICD-10-CM Z codes, which identify non-medical factors that may influence a patient’s health status, provide robust data related to patients’ social needs and is a vital, and often underutilized, tool in hospitals’ efforts to improve the health and well-being of their patients and communities.
