CAH CHNA – Implementing Your Plan
Continuous evaluation and improvement are essential components when implementing an organization’s CHNA strategic plan to improve community health. Applying Lean methodology can support this process and lead to improvements in performance measure tracking and resource utilization. This will save time and allow focused attention on value-add activities that directly impact community health goals. As population health improvements are recognized, a collaborative, transparent communication strategy can heighten awareness increasing both hospital staff and community engagement.
Target Audience
Hospital leadership, hospital personnel, community partners, community coalition leads, public health stakeholders and population health leads.
Learning Objectives
- Identify Lean methodology principles and how they can be applied to inform a continuous improvement process, save time, improve resource efficiencies, and implement actions to sustain improvements long after the project ends resulting in the longevity of community health outcomes.
