Community-Based Health Needs Assessment Activities: Opportunities for Collaboration Between Public Health Departments and Rural Hospitals Executive Summary Since the passage of IRS and Public Health Accreditation Board requirements for Community-Based Health assessments in 2011, state and federal agencies have sought ways of encouraging collaboration between local public Health departments and rural hospitals. This document explores the framework and regulatory background that have informed how and why rural communities approach community - based Health Needs assessments. It also looks at opportunities and barriers that local public Health departments and rural hospitals face in their attempts to work collaboratively on projects. By scanning models from across the country, the authors are able to explore areas of education and collaboration, funding, and data sharing as opportunities for increased collaboration. Lastly, the scan provides several recommendations for how state offices of rural Health and state Health officials can work collaboratively to encourage local public Health departments and rural hospitals to complete joint Community-Based Health Needs assessments.
