A Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) is an underutilized tool for guiding healthcare organizations and municipalities toward actions that improve the health of their communities.
Our extensive experience in provider network and community planning, service line development, and ambulatory care strategy offers a holistic perspective on the tools and resources needed to improve the overall health of a patient population. Additionally, we understand how intersectional issues such as social determinants of health, health equity, behavioral health, and access affect communities. This expertise, coupled with our collaborative decision-making approach, advances CHNA recommendations that ultimately translate into actionable and implementable plans to improve access to high-quality care.
While the availability of strong data analytical capabilities is often a key decision point for determining who can best facilitate the development of an organization’s CHNA, it is only one of several that make a CHNA more than a “check the box” exercise. A CHNA should strongly guide a healthcare organization’s overarching strategy; it is critical that the process result in clear and actionable goals with effective supporting tactics.
