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.
