Join HMA and the National Alliance for Impacting the Social Determinants of Health (NASDOH), an alliance managed by Leavitt Partners, an HMA Company, for an in-depth discussion on the evolving policy landscape on the upstream drivers of health, which includes the social, economic, and environmental conditions that influence whether people can achieve and maintain good health. This session will explore the latest federal changes, including changes to Medicaid guidance, payment models, and quality measures, as well as innovative state opportunities.
