(Lourdes), community organizations and residents. The CHNA demonstrates Lourdes’ current and future commitment both clinically and financially to address the community’s health status by fulfilling its call to provide health care that works, health care that is safe, and health care that leaves no one behind. Lourdes is committed to making our community a stronger, healthier place to live. The plan covers a three year time period from 2016-2018. Annually, Lourdes reports the status on the progress of the CHNA. Changes to and between the Community Health Needs Assessment are documented annually in the Community Service Report. This report is approved by the Board of Directors and made publically available on the website (Appendix 1.1-1.4, and Appendix 14). Lourdes’ CHNA was a stepped process occurring from September 2015 to August 2016: 1. Identification of community health status themes, September 2015- May 2016; 2. Community health status prioritization, May-July 2016; 3. Development of Community Health Improvement Plan, July-August 2016; 4. Lourdes Board of Directors approval, September 2016; 5. Submission of CHNA/CHIP/IS to the New York State Department of Health, December 30, 2016. Due to differences in sequencing CHNA and CHIP requests by Ascension Health, the New York State Department of Health, and the Broome County Health Department, the Lourdes CHNA/CHIP maybe updated prior to the NYS Department of Health submission deadline of December 30, 2016, though any updates are not expected to be significant. Comprehensive 3-Year Plan Format: Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), Community Health Improvement Plan/Implementation Strategy (CHIP/IS) The previous 2013-2015 CHNA was used as a basis for the development of the current three year 2016-2018 Community Needs Assessment. In developing the 2016-2018 CHNA, an assessment was completed on the status of the 2013-2015 CHNA community health priorities. Following additional primary and secondary research, two of the 2013-2015 health priorities carried over to the 2016-2018 CHNA (table, page 3, herein). While progress was made by Lourdes and the community in improving health priorities, Lourdes and the community will continue to focus on the priority areas delineated herein (table, page 3, Appendix 1.1-1.4). The CHNA enhances Lourdes’ services to the community by identifying what services are most desired and needed by area residents. This CHNA is comprised of quantitative and qualitative analysis conducted by Research & Marketing Strategies, Inc. (RMS) to serve as a guide for Our Lady of Lourdes Memorial Hospital for 2016-2018. The plan is a comprehensive assessment of the community’s health needs and Lourdes’ response to community public health priorities. The quantitative research included a review of survey data from the various stakeholder groups. This data had statistical sampling significance. The qualitative work included: In-depth interviews (IDI’s) with community stakeholders as well as a review of focus group results from Medicaid and the uninsured population segments. During the CHNA research twenty health care needs themes were identified through qualitative (10 themes, Appendix 1.1) and quantitative research (10 themes, Appendix 1.2) Research resulted in the 2016-2018 community health priorities being behavioral health (mental health and substance abuse), obesity (and associated chronic disease) and the health issues associated with lower-income and socially vulnerable populations.
