Service line development 2

A community health assessment is a developmental process that is added to and amended over time. It is not an end in itself, but a way of using information to plan healthcare and public health programs. In the Service Line Development Case Study, there is a community health needs assessment that describes the state of local individuals health. This assessment allows the major risk factors, the causes of ill health, and the actions required to address these health risks to be identified.

A. Analyze the community health needs assessment in the case study by doing the following:

1. Discuss major risk factors identified in the assessment.

2. Discuss whether the healthcare facility in the case study is addressing the needs identified in the assessment.

B. Develop a health planning summary outlining recommendations of how to resolve any outstanding community health needs.

C. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.

D. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
