Z Codes

Mapping PRAPARE Responses to Z Codes

Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) data collection and Z code documentation are crucial steps healthcare organizations are taking to demonstrate medical and non-medical patient needs. NACHC states, “unless SDoH data are captured in a consistent, structured way using standardized terminology, they cannot be easily transmitted” (Uy 2022). Responses gathered via the PRAPARE can be translated into Z codes with appropriate mapping in your organization’s EHR. Please refer to the resources below for assistance with this initiative.
