Empower Your Hospital to Exceed Federal Standards with inHealth Strategies: Transforming Mandates into Stories of Health Equity Success
Community Health Needs Assessment
We help hospitals fulfill federal CHNA mandates by developing a holistic and collaborative approach that uncovers the unique needs of your community:
- Community Engagement: Through focus groups, surveys, and interviews, we collect qualitative insights from those most impacted by your hospital’s work.
- Quantitative Data Analysis: Using national and local health data, we evaluate key public health metrics like access to care, health outcomes, and risk factors.
- Stakeholder Workshops: We host workshops to prioritize health needs, considering factors such as prevalence, severity, available resources, and your hospital’s ability to make an impact.
After identifying your community’s most pressing health needs, we collaborate with your hospital to develop a detailed and actionable Implementation Strategy:
- Measurable Goals: We help you set clear, attainable goals with specific timelines.
- Action Plan: Each goal is backed by a comprehensive action plan, which includes resource allocation, personnel deployment, and potential partnerships.
- Collaboration with Community Organizations: We outline strategic partnerships with local health departments, non-profits, and other stakeholders, maximizing your hospital’s reach and impact.
- Board Facilitation: We ensure the CHNA and Implementation Strategy receive timely approval from your hospital’s governing board.
Health Equity Planning
In response to evolving federal guidelines, inHealth Strategies helps hospitals address health equity through tailored initiatives:
- Data Collection and Gap Analysis: We gather demographic and SDOH data to identify health disparities within your community. Our analysis helps you spot gaps in care, especially among marginalized populations.
- Equity-Focused Programs: Working closely with your team, we design initiatives that directly address identified disparities. Whether it’s improving access to preventive care or managing chronic diseases like diabetes, we ensure that your hospital’s efforts align with broader health equity goals.
- Partnerships with Equity Leaders: We assist in forging partnerships with community-based organizations, public health departments, and healthcare equity experts to enhance the effectiveness of your programs.
- Tracking and Reporting: To ensure accountability and continuous improvement, we develop robust evaluation metrics, helping you report on progress to federal entities and your community.
