COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENTS (CHA)<br />
Information<br />
WHAT IS IT?<br />
It is an examination of the health status indicators for<br />
a given population that is used to identify key problems<br />
and assets in a community through systematic,<br />
comprehensive data collection and analysis.<br />
WHY DO IT?<br />
A community health assessment gives organizations<br />
comprehensive information about the community’s<br />
current health status, needs, and issues. This<br />
information can help develop a community health<br />
improvement plan by justifying how and where<br />
resources should be allocated to best meet community<br />
needs.<br />
WHAT COMES NEXT?<br />
The next step is a community health improvement plan<br />
(or CHIP) which is a long-term, systematic effort to<br />
address public health problems based on the results of<br />
community health assessment activities and the<br />
community health improvement process.<br />
