The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation (IMPACT) Act of 2014 supports CMS's Meaningful Measures Initiative by focusing on quality measures and core issues critical to high-quality care.

The IMPACT Act encourages coding for social risk factors by health care facilities like:

• Long-term care hospitals (LTCHs)
• Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)
• Home health agencies (HHAs)
• Inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs)

The act focuses on social risk factors captured using demographic information and other SDOH-related codes describing income, disability, and housing conditions.
