CHA: An example of Data Turning to Knowledge Understanding Community Health Assessment Community Health Assessment Is an ongoing process to identify the strengths and needs in the community in order to facilitate the establishment of priorities that improve the health status of the population. Community Health Assessment Goals • To understand the health of Manitoba’s residents • To be responsive to local issues • To plan health services by evidence • To track changes over time informed Health Indicators • These are measurable, quantifiable observations which can be linked to theoretical concepts, such as poverty, use of medication, or good health. • They are selected carefully with validity and reliability in mind. • Tracked over time, they provide information about the changing needs of a population. Population Health Population Health: • describes an approach to improving health that focuses on the health of communities or populations rather than on that of individuals. • examines factors that enhance the health and well-being of the overall population. Consistent with the WHO definition, health is viewed as a resource for everyday living. The population health approach is aimed at positively influencing conditions that enable people to make healthy choices and accessing services that promote and maintain health.
