CAH CHNA – Are You Capturing All IRS General Requirements for Tax Exemption?
The Affordable Care Act requires all nonprofit hospitals to develop a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to identify high priority community health needs and an Implementation Plan to address these needs. This webinar will describe the general requirements of the CHNA and the Implementation Plan that must be met, the strengths and weaknesses of the Iowa CHNAs and Plans, and the best practices to overcome these weaknesses.
