Kalahari Resort, Wisconsin Dells

While hospitals are familiar with the requirements for filing Schedule H and know that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that they complete a community health needs assessment, the process of “doing” has raised many questions among hospitals and public health officials.

The seminar will cover the basics of the ACA and IRS requirements, and acquaint participants with tools, strategies and resources that will assist them with developing and implementing community health needs assessments aimed at improving population health.
