956 Leveraging Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Data to Inform Burn Outreach and Prevention Strategies
Abstract
Abstract Introduction Every three years, all not-for-profit healthcare systems conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) to identify health disparities. The current CHNA for the institution serving as home to a regional burn center in a major metropolitan area was carried out from September 2023 through October 2023. The assessment is used to evaluate health challenges in catchment areas facing different populations. The goal of this project was to leverage this database to assess the needs of the population serviced by this regional burn center to potentially better target burn outreach focus areas. Methods The CHNA process involved a multifaceted approach to data collection and analysis, ensuring that a wide range of perspective and insights were considered. The CHNA incorporated various data sources, including quantitative secondary population level data, hospital healthcare utilization data, a community survey, and qualitative community input sessions. The CHNA zip codes most commonly serviced by our regional burn center were queried to identify the top health problems and issues identified by the community. The three focus areas, Health and Wellness (N = 13865), Access to Care (N= 26,407), and Social Drivers of Health (N= 35,796) reported responses to the following survey questions, which were the focus of the present data collection to leverage for burn outreach opportunities: What are the health problems that affect people in your community?; and What are the…
