APIAHF submitted comments in response to proposed rule changes regarding the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) and Long-Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System. We urged CMS to require hospitals to collect self-reported race and ethnicity data that is disaggregated based on requirements in Section 4302 of the ACA. Additionally, APIAHF commented on the need to require mandatory as opposed to voluntary reporting as soon as possible to prevent delays in the collection and reporting of social drivers of health measures.
