OVERVIEW
Community health needs assessments often result in identification of a substantial number of service gaps and health care problems. Financial and other resource limitations demand that we set priorities among assessed community health needs in order to focus resources on where they will do the most good and be most effective. This program, led by public health professor Leslie Beitsch, will describe established methods and tools for setting priorities for community health improvement.
OBJECTIVES
As a result of this program, participants will be able to:
- Use information from community health needs assessments to determine priorities.
- Engage community members and organizational leaders in setting priorities.
- Select criteria, methods and tools for priority setting.
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE
- Community benefit leaders
- Mission leaders
- Legal
- Finance leaders
