The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Section 501(r)(3)(A) requires a hospital organization to conduct a community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three years and to adopt an implementation strategy to meet the community health needs identified through the CHNA. The CHNA is a vital tool to aid in identifying priority health needs and aligning partners and resources to address community needs. A collaborative approach to planning an organization’s CHNA can increase the likelihood of successful targeted initiatives to improve health outcomes.

One person dies every 2 minutes in the U.S. daily from sepsis. Many organizations have initiated programs around the caring for the septic patient that falls short of desired outcomes. As of October 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has made sepsis a core measure. The complexity of the disease, the variability in presentation of the patient, and skill and knowledge level of the provider makes this core measure distinctly different and potentially a greater challenge to implement.

Achieving health equity by reducing and eliminating health disparities is an important overarching goal for federal and private payers alike; therefore, hospitals and healthcare organizations must implement practices that support this goal. Identifying health disparities requires mastering basic practices such as collecting accurate and complete patient demographic data including race, ethnicity and language (REAL).

Sepsis is a broadly defined syndrome with a high mortality rate. Early recognition and initiation of treatment can improve patient outcomes. Consequently, quality metrics such as CMS Sep-1 evaluate hospital outcomes on a number of sepsis related process measures. All too often quality improvement efforts result in initial improvements that degrade with time. Some drivers of non-sustained quality may be a resistant stakeholder group, complicated process that is challenging to adhere to and natural turnover of staff in high stress clinical settings.
