Purpose
To compare and contrast the community health assessment process and health priorities identified by LHD led Community Health Assessments (CHA) or Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP); and by hospital led Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and Community Health Needs Improvement Strategy (CHNIS)
Objectives
1. Identify the variation in process between LHD led CHA/ CHIP and hospital led CHNA/ CHNIS
2. Identify the variation in priorities between LHD led CHA/ CHIP and hospital led CHNA/ CHNIS
ImportanceLHD Led CHA/CHIP Documents
• Recent state and national movement to require LHD accreditation
• Significant efforts are underway to enhance the quality and consistency of CHA/CHIP documents
Hospital Led CHNA/ CHNIS Documents
• Under the Affordable Care Act IRS code section 501(r)(3), most nonprofit 501 (c)(3) hospitals are required to complete a CHNA/CHNIS document
General• Little has been done to examine variations in priorities of these
documents and how community characteristics may influence these differences

(public) health policy. Detailed action plan exists or is under construction. Identifies individuals and organizations that have accepted
responsibility for implementing strategies. Includes priorities and action plans for entities beyond just the local

stakeholders in the community. Community health priorities were selected using criteria
established and agreed upon by the stakeholder group. Priorities are easily located on a website and identifiable as
priorities by the general public.

Key Process FindingsLHD process more likely to: Be grounded in theoretical and evidence based
frameworks Define a mission or vision Include implementation planning Have broad stakeholder participation Conduct health policy activity
Key Process FindingsHospitals were more likely to: Address community assets Address health equity and vulnerable populations Choose health priorities using criteria Provide community health assessment
information to the stakeholders who are setting priorities
Key Priority FindingsHospital based CHNA/ CHNIS priorities focused more on Diagnostic conditions Health system characteristics
LHD based CHA/ CHIP priorities focused more on Behavioral health Community characteristics
Strengths
Large, whole sample (n=110 and n=170)Comprehensive approach crossing health systems boundariesMixed methodsUtilized standard abstraction protocols from adaptation of a previously successful model
Limitations
Based on information available in documents, not necessarily what was actually doneSome items were not effective across LHD-Hospital boundaries and were therefore excludedAnalysis based on current stage of assessment, therefore not final products
Implications for Public Health
The variation between CHA/CHIP and CHNA/CHNIS identified priorities demonstrates important differences in perspective and experience. The differences appear complementary, implying the population needs would be more effectively served through a collaborative process.
