Community Health Profiles and Community Health Improvement Plan Examples from 12 Demonstration Sites
NACCHO funded 12 local health department demonstration sites to engage in a robust community health improvement process that yielded two of the three accreditation prerequisites: a community health assessment (CHA) and a community health improvement plan (CHIP).
Key features of this work included 1.engaging community members and local public health system partners in a meaningful way; 2.addressing the social determinants of health; and 3. using quality improvement (QI) and quality planning techniques. Within the cohort of demonstration sites, NACCHO supported sites in completing several project-specific approaches, or collaborative models.
The CHAs and CHIPs below were developed by the 12 sites as a result of this project and serve as examples of high quality CHAs and CHIPs.
