The MHA and the MHA Keystone Center are hosting an educational webinar from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Oct. 10 about the current and future state of regulatory and accrediting health equity requirements from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) and The Joint Commission (TJC). 

Leading the discussion is Julia Finken, senior vice president for accreditation and regulatory compliance for Patton Healthcare Consulting and Barrins & Associates. With more than 25 years of healthcare expertise and nearly two decades at TJC, Finken will also walk members through the MHA Keystone Center’s Guide and Action Plan to Integrating CMS and TJC Health Equity and Health Disparities Requirements and its online learning module series. These resources were created to provide actionable strategies for implementing compliant health equity programming in an acute care setting.

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Explain priority areas across the CMS and TJC requirements.
• Summarize compliance expectations for these new regulations.
• Outline future health equity priorities and expectations from CMS and TJC.
• Demonstrate how the MHA Keystone Center’s tools can assist hospitals and health systems with creating actionable strategies for advancing health equity that meet regulatory and accreditation requirements.

The webinar is eligible for nursing and social worker continuing education credits. 

Registration for the webinar is free of charge to MHA members thanks to the generosity of Alliance-HNI Health Care Services, an associate member of the MHA.

Members with questions about registration should contact the MHA Keystone Center.
