Utilizing Community Health Needs Assessments (CHNAs) in Nonprofit Hospitals to Guide Population-Centered Outcomes Research for Pediatric Patients: New Recommendations for CHNA Reporting.Currently, Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) reports lack a standard structure, making it difficult to derive meaningful information.  The objective was to evaluate the utility of CHNA for informing future pediatric, patient-centered outcomes research.  The authors analyzed CHNA documents, published before July 1, 2016 by 61 nonprofit hospitals, focusing on 4 metropolitan areas in Florida: Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville.  The authors advocate that a major change in the CHNA format be implemented using a common set of domains to produce meaningful, interpretable, and comparable results that inform and guide patient-centered health outcomes research.
