PART V, SECTION B, LINE 7: IN 2013, WATERBURY HOSPITAL CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT (CHNA) TO EVALUATE THE HEALTH NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS LIVING IN THESE COMMUNITIES. THE CHNA WAS DONE IN COLLABORATION WITH THE GREATER WATERBURY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP. THE PARTNERSHIP CONSISTS OF WATERBURY HOSPITAL, SAINT MARY'S HOSPITAL, WATERBURY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, CITY OF WATERBURY, STAYWELL HEALTH CENTER, CONNECTICUT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, UNITED WAY, AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. WATERBURY HOSPITAL VIEWS COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AS AN ONGOING EFFORT THAT REQUIRES LEADERSHIP THROUGH EXAMPLE AND PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF COMMUNITY RESIDENTS.THE PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT WAS TO GATHER INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH NEEDS AND BEHAVIORS. A VARIETY OF INDICATORS WERE EXAMINED INCLUDING RISKY HEALTH BEHAVIORS (ALCOHOL USE, TOBACCO USE) AND CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS (DIABETES, HEART DISEASE). THE CHNA WAS COMPRISED OF BOTH QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE RESEARCH COMPONENTS. A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE RESEARCH COMPONENTS FOLLOWS:QUANTITATIVE DATA: - A STATISTICAL SECONDARY DATA PROFILE DEPICTING POPULATION AND HOUSEHOLD STATISTICS, EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC MEASURES, MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY RATES, INCIDENCE RATES AND OTHER HEALTH STATISTICS FOR WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT AND SURROUNDING CITIES WAS COMPILED. - A HOUSEHOLD TELEPHONE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED WITH 1,100 RANDOMLY-SELECTED COMMUNITY RESIDENTS. THE SURVEY WAS MODELED AFTER THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION'S BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (BRFSS) WHICH ASSESSES HEALTH STATUS, HEALTH RISK BEHAVIORS, PREVENTIVE HEALTH PRACTICES, AND HEALTH CARE ACCESS PRIMARILY RELATED TO CHRONIC DISEASE AND INJURY.QUALITATIVE DATA: - SIX FOCUS GROUPS WERE HELD WITH 24 HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND 33 COMMUNITY RESIDENTS IN FEBRUARY 2013. - KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH 205 COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PARTNERS BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND APRIL 2013.REVIEW OF KEY FINDINGSIN JUNE 2013, INDIVIDUALS FROM HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS, COMMUNITY AGENCIES, SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, AND AREA NON-PROFITS GATHERED TO REVIEW THE RESULTS OF THE CHNA DATA. THE PLANNING MEETING WAS INITIATED AND FACILITATED BY THE GREATER WATERBURY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP. THE GOAL OF THE MEETING WAS TO DISCUSS CHNA FINDINGS IN AN EFFORT TO PRIORITIZE KEY COMMUNITY HEALTH ISSUES.THE OBJECTIVES FOR THE DAY WERE OUTLINED AS FOLLOWS: - TO REVIEW RECENTLY COMPILED COMMUNITY HEALTH DATA AND HIGHLIGHT KEY RESEARCH FINDINGS; - TO INITIATE DISCUSSIONS AROUND ADDITIONAL KEY HEALTH ISSUES NOT REPRESENTED IN THE CHNA; - TO PRIORITIZE THE COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS BASED ON SELECT CRITERIAPRIORITIZATION PROCESS & IDENTIFIED HEALTH PRIORITIESTHE PRIORITIZATION MEETING WAS FACILITATED BY HOLLERAN CONSULTING. THE MEETING BEGAN WITH AN ABBREVIATED RESEARCH OVERVIEW. THIS OVERVIEW PRESENTED THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY RESEARCH AND KEY FINDINGS OF THE CHNA.FOLLOWING THE RESEARCH OVERVIEW, PARTICIPANTS WERE PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRIORITIZATION PROCESS, CRITERIA TO CONSIDER WHEN EVALUATING KEY AREAS OF FOCUS, AND OTHER ASPECTS OF HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLANNING, SUCH AS GOAL SETTING AND DEVELOPING STRATEGIES AND MEASURES. IN A LARGE-GROUP FORMAT, ATTENDEES WERE THEN ASKED TO SHARE OPENLY WHAT THEY PERCEIVED TO BE THE NEEDS AND AREAS OF OPPORTUNITY IN THE CITY. THROUGH FACILITATED DISCUSSION, ATTENDEES DEVELOPED A "MASTER LIST" OF POTENTIAL PRIORITY AREAS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS.ONCE THE MASTER LIST WAS COMPILED, PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO RATE EACH NEED BASED ON TWO CRITERIA. THE TWO CRITERIA INCLUDED THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE ISSUE AND THE COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO IMPACT THE ISSUE. RESPONDENTS WERE ASKED TO RATE EACH ISSUE ON A 1 (NOT AT ALL SERIOUS; NO ABILITY TO IMPACT) THROUGH 5 (VERY SERIOUS; GREAT ABILITY TO IMPACT) SCALE. THE RATINGS WERE GATHERED INSTANTLY AND ANONYMOUSLY THROUGH A WIRELESS AUDIENCE RESPONSE SYSTEM. EACH ATTENDEE RECEIVED A KEYPAD TO REGISTER THEIR VOTE. FOLLOWING THE RANKING OF THE HEALTH PRIORITIES, THE TOP FOUR PRIORITY AREAS WERE IDENTIFIED: A. ACCESS TO CARE B. MENTAL HEALTH/SUBSTANCE ABUSE C. OVERWEIGHT/OBESITY D. SMOKINGTHE PRIORITIZATION SESSION PARTICIPANTS VOTED TO ADOPT THESE TOP FOUR PRIORITIES ON A COMMUNITY WIDE BASIS DUE TO A LACK OF RESOURCES TO ADDRESS ALL ISSUES. THEREFORE, WATERBURY HOSPITAL'S IMPLEMENTATION PLAN ADDRESSES THESE FOUR PRIORITY AREAS. WATERBURY HOSPITAL IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE GREATER WATERBURY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN COMMITTEE AND CONTINUES TO SERVE BOTH ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE AND ON THE INDIVIDUAL PRIORITY AREA COMMITTEES.RESEARCH PARTNERTHE GREATER WATERBURY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP CONTRACTED WITH HOLLERAN, AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND CONSULTING FIRM LOCATED IN LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA, TO CONDUCT RESEARCH IN SUPPORT OF THE CHNA.

THE GREATER WATERBURY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP SOUGHT COMMUNITY INPUT THROUGH FOCUS GROUPS WITH HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PARTNERS, AND INCLUSION OF COMMUNITY LEADERS IN THE PRIORITIZATION AND IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING PROCESS. PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS SHARED KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE ABOUT HEALTH ISSUES, AND LEADERS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF NON-PROFIT AND COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDED INSIGHT ON THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED, LOW INCOME, AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. RESEARCH LIMITATIONSIT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE AVAILABILITY AND TIME LAG OF SECONDARY DATA MAY PRESENT SOME RESEARCH LIMITATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, TIMELINE, AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS MAY HAVE IMPACTED THE ABILITY TO SURVEY ALL COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS. THE GREATER WATERBURY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PARTNERSHIP SOUGHT TO MITIGATE LIMITATIONS BY INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES OF DIVERSE AND UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS THROUGHOUT THE RESEARCH COMPONENTS.THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT WILL GUIDE WATERBURY HOSPITAL'S ONGOING WORK TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND COMPLY WITH NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR TAX-EXEMPT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS TO CONDUCT A CHNA AND ADOPT AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ALIGNED WITH IDENTIFIED COMMUNITY NEEDS.
