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 community health assessment. Both CHAs and CHPs require significant partner and community engagement. More information about CHAs and CHPs is available on the
CDC Public Health Systems and 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.
Guidance and training
The OHA Transformation Center offers reporting templates, guidance, training, and technical assistance for CCOs.
