Description
Community health needs assessments (CHNAs) are a key component of national accreditation for local health departments and the Affordable Care Act has made CHNAs a requirement for non-profit hospitals. This live panel discussion webcast will cover the health system, local health department, and non-profit perspectives on strategies for successful partnering in these efforts, and how the public health nurse fits in.
Upon successful completion of the post-test, a certificate will be provided.
