Our community health needs assessment (CHNA) project is an important way for Ochsner Health to better identify and meet the needs of our communities. The enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires tax-exempt hospitals to conduct these assessments and implementation strategies every three years.
We are required to make these documents available to the public. Section 501(r)(3) requirements include having an authorized body at the hospital facility adopt a documented CHNA that is available to the public and available for feedback.
To make these assessments, Ochsner’s hospitals collect extensive input from people who represent the broad interests of the communities served by the hospitals, including those with special knowledge of public health issues.
