Introduction to Community Health Assessment

Community Health Assessment can be used to collect community health information, at the household-level, required for disaster response or health action plans.

Health and Human Services professionals need information to make informed decisions as they allocate health resources. Timely access to community health information helps leaders maintain situational awareness, confirm assumptions and understand community need. The Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) framework (developed by the World Health Organization and adopted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) framework to plan randomized clusters, conduct health assessments, and monitor progress accordingly was used. This framework has become a common methodology used to understand community need. Community Health Assessment is typically implemented by health and human services agencies or health care organizations that want to leverage CASPER principles as they conduct health assessments to understand community need.

The Community Health Assessment solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you plan community health survey areas, collect survey responses from random households and monitor key indicators as the assessment occurs.
