In recent years, the technology and methodology have been developed to help you identify, collect, analyze, and apply health status information about the community you serve. Called a population-based community health status assessment, this tool is not intended to help you identify "needs"--you probably already know what many of them are in your community. Rather, it allows you to develop precise indicators of the health status of the community in general as well as of specific subgroups with particular health problems and risk factors. The assessment is useful both for the data and insights it provides and for organizing, implementing, and evaluating community health improvement interventions. Seven steps for the successful design and implementation of a population-based community health status assessment follow.
