Engaging Patients and Communities in the Community Health Needs Assessment Process
This is a step-by-step guide developed by Health Research and Educational Trust proposing a new method of involving patients and community members in the Community Health Needs Assessment process, a required process every three years for nonprofit hospitals. The proposed new process integrates patient and community member input into every stage of the needs assessment, thereby obtaining valuable insights that otherwise could be missed and increasing community buy-in. This guide is meant to be used by nonprofit hospitals conducting Community Health Needs Assessments of their own.
