ACA updates, explained: Navigating the new era of hospital accreditation, health equity + legal compliance

This webinar is on-demand and can be viewed at your convenience.

Massachusetts is the first state to mandate specific accreditation and certification requirements that incentivize healthcare equity. This pioneering step sets a new standard, with potential federal parallels under Section 1557 of the ACA. 

In this on-demand webinar, you'll learn pertinent updates to Section 1557 that began on July 5, 2024. Clinical, legal and quality standards experts will also walk you through MassHealth Waiver 1115, which allocates $415 million for hospitals that meet The Joint Commission patient safety goals and healthcare equity certification. 

Key takeaways:
  • Gain deeper insights into the ACA's Section 1557, MassHealth Waiver 1115 and how The Joint Commission's accreditation and certification standards improve health equity.
  • Understand essential behaviors and best practices that enhance reputation, efficiency and ensure compliance.
  • Learn how to integrate health equity into care delivery and compliance strategies.
