An update to your Notes is coming the week of May 26, 2025!
What: We are adding a field called “SDOH Z codes” to the Note details. SDOH stands for social determinants of health and the SDOH Z codes are a standard system of classification for social needs developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). You can learn more about SDOH Z codes by following this link.
Why: While the screener helps identify a client’s active needs for their enrollment, some organizations need to keep track of the relevant social needs for each visit. We’re adding a field for these codes in the app so they’re easy to enter when required by your organization.
How: You'll see this update when you sign in the week of May 26, 2025.
- The basics: First, we recommend checking with your program leadership whether you need to fill out this field when creating client notes. If you do, here’s how they work:
-
- When you create a new note, you’ll see the new “SDOH Z codes” field. Click on it and you’ll see a list of commonly used SDOH Z codes that you can browse.
- If you know what you’re looking for, type in the code or a keyword into the search to see relevant results.
- Level-up: Not sure whether your client’s need has a relevant Z code? The search feature will show you results related to the topic you searched even if it’s called something different. So if you search for “jobs” it will also show you results that are related to “employment.”
