CCO health assessments and improvement plans

Background

Community health assessments (CHAs) identify key health needs and issues through systematic, comprehensive data collection and analysis. Community health improvement plans (CHPs) are long-term, systematic efforts to address community health issues, needs and priorities based on the results of community health assessment activities and the community health improvement plan process. Both CHAs and CHPs require significant partner, stakeholder, and community engagement. General definitions and information about CHAs and CHPs are available on the CDC Public Health Systems & Best Practices website.

Timeline

CCOs are required, per Oregon Revised Statue and CCO contract, to complete a CHP, based on a CHA, at least every five years. CCOs are also required to submit annual CHP progress reports to OHA. Annual reporting templates are available on the Guidance and Training webpage.

Guidance and training

The OHA Transformation Center has relevant guidance, training and upcoming technical assistance opportunities for CCOs, as well as any required questionnaires.
