Step 5: Prioritize Community Health Issues
Purpose
Hospitals and community stakeholders go through a process to distinguish the most pressing community health needs based on the data collected. The identified priority health needs will be addressed through the implementation strategies.
Key Components
Identify criteria for prioritization
Hospitals are at their discretion to develop prioritization criteria and processes. A set of criteria should be determined to guide the prioritization process. Typically, three to six priorities are selected, based on:
Magnitude of the problem
Severity of the problem
Need among vulnerable populations
Community’s capacity and willingness to act on the issue
Ability to have a measurable impact on the issue
Availability of hospital and community resources
Existing interventions focused on the issue
Whether the issue is a root cause of other problems
Trending health concerns in the community
Additional prioritization criteria can include:
The importance of each problem to community members
Evidence that an intervention can change the problem
Alignment with an organization’s existing priorities
Hospital’s ability to contribute finances and resources to address the health concern
Potential challenges or barriers to addressing the need
The opportunity to intervene at the prevention level
Select community health priorities
Priorities can be selected as part of an established process informed by contributing partners, including community stakeholders, health departments, social service agencies, policy makers and hospital leadership. Action steps to be considered are:
Select a prioritization committee – Members can be from hospitals, community stakeholder organizations and other organizations/institutions with specialized knowledge or constituents.
Discuss the data – Present the qualitative and quantitative data to the prioritization committee. Make sure that the data are presented in a format that is accessible for the individuals on the committee. Foster an environment for open dialogue to discuss the identified health needs thoroughly.
Review community assets – Reflect back on your
asset map
to identify what resources exist in your community to address the need. Take stock of what resources (staffing, in-kind, financial, etc.) in your hospital could potentially be leveraged to address that need.
Select priorities – Decide which approach you want to use to determine priority needs.

Step 5: Prioritize Community Health Issues
Purpose
Hospitals and community stakeholders go through a process to distinguish the most pressing community health needs based on the data collected. The identified priority health needs will be addressed through the implementation strategies.
Key Components
Identify criteria for prioritization
Hospitals are at their discretion to develop prioritization criteria and processes. A set of criteria should be determined to guide the prioritization process. Typically, three to six priorities are selected, based on:
Magnitude of the problem
Severity of the problem
Need among vulnerable populations
Community’s capacity and willingness to act on the issue
Ability to have a measurable impact on the issue
Availability of hospital and community resources
Existing interventions focused on the issue
Whether the issue is a root cause of other problems
Trending health concerns in the community
Additional prioritization criteria can include:
The importance of each problem to community members
Evidence that an intervention can change the problem
Alignment with an organization’s existing priorities
Hospital’s ability to contribute finances and resources to address the health concern
Potential challenges or barriers to addressing the need
The opportunity to intervene at the prevention level
Select community health priorities
Priorities can be selected as part of an established process informed by contributing partners, including community stakeholders, health departments, social service agencies, policy makers and hospital leadership. Action steps to be considered are:
Select a prioritization committee – Members can be from hospitals, community stakeholder organizations and other organizations/institutions with specialized knowledge or constituents.
Discuss the data – Present the qualitative and quantitative data to the prioritization committee. Make sure that the data are presented in a format that is accessible for the individuals on the committee. Foster an environment for open dialogue to discuss the identified health needs thoroughly.
Review community assets – Reflect back on your
asset map
to identify what resources exist in your community to address the need. Take stock of what resources (staffing, in-kind, financial, etc.) in your hospital could potentially be leveraged to address that need.
Select priorities – Decide which approach you want to use to determine priority needs.

Step 1 Engage Stakeholders The first step in the CD.docx
Step 1: Engage Stakeholders
The first step in the CDC Framework approach to program evaluation is to engage the
stakeholders. Stakeholders are people or organizations that are invested in the program, are
interested in the results of the evaluation, and/or have a stake in what will be done with the
results of the evaluation. Representing their needs and interests throughout the process is
fundamental to good program evaluation.
Typical Stakeholders in Public Health
Key stakeholders for evaluations of public health programs fall into three major groups:
• Those involved in program operations: Management, program staff, partners, funding
agencies, and coalition members.
• Those served or affected by the program: Patients or clients, advocacy groups,
community members, and elected officials.
• Those who are intended users of the evaluation findings: Persons in a position to make
decisions about the program, such as partners, funding agencies, coalition members, and
the general public or taxpayers.
Clearly, these categories are not mutually exclusive; in particular, the primary users of
evaluation findings are often members of the other two groups, i.e., the program management or
an advocacy organization or coalition. While you may think you know your stakeholders well,
these categories help you to think broadly and inclusively in identifying stakeholders.
Potential Stakeholders in Public Health Programs
• Program managers and staff.
• Local, state, and regional coalitions interested in the public health issue.
• Local grantees of your funds.
• Local and national advocacy partners.
• Other funding agencies, such as national and state governments.
• State or local health departments and health commissioners.
• State education agencies, schools, and other educational groups.
• Universities and educational institutions.
• Local government, state legislators, and state governors.
• Privately owned businesses and business associations.
• Health care systems and the medical community.
• Religious organizations.
• Community organizations.
• Private citizens.
• Program critics.
• Representatives of populations disproportionately affected by the problem.
• Law enforcement representatives.
Introduction to Program Evaluation for Public Health Programs Page 13
Why Stakeholders are Important to an Evaluation
Stakeholders can help (or hinder) an evaluation before it is conducted, while it is being
conducted, and after the results are collected and ready for use. Because so many public health
efforts are complex and because public health agencies may be several layers removed from
frontline implementation, stakeholders take on particular importance in ensuring that the right
evaluation questions are identified and that evaluation results will be used to make a difference.
Stakeholders are much more likely to support the evaluation and act on the results and
recommendations if they are involved.
Health policy
Health is important for overall well-being and quality of life. Maintaining good physical and mental health requires making healthy lifestyle choices related to diet, exercise, stress management, and avoiding risky behaviors. Living a healthy lifestyle can help prevent disease and disability and allow people to stay active and independent as they age.

This document discusses NICE's role in providing public health guidance in the UK and some issues related to evaluating evidence on health inequalities. It describes NICE's process for developing guidance, which involves scoping topics, reviewing evidence, and making recommendations. However, it notes some limitations, such as a lack of evidence on effective interventions to reduce health inequalities and conceptual gaps in understanding the causes of inequalities. It argues NICE needs to improve its methods for evaluating evidence on inequalities, including getting the right review questions, considering different types of evidence, and better conceptual frameworks for analyzing causes of inequalities.

Cochrane Strategy to 2020 Update: Mark Wilson
This document summarizes the goals and progress of Cochrane's Strategy to 2020. It has four main goals: 1) Producing high-quality systematic reviews, 2) Making evidence accessible worldwide, 3) Advocating for evidence-informed healthcare, and 4) Building an effective and sustainable organization. In 2015, Cochrane achieved many milestones, including a new brand and multilingual website, increasing access to reviews, and partnerships to increase the impact of evidence on guidelines and policies. In 2016, Cochrane will continue projects to improve technology, business processes, and membership while delivering the Strategy to 2020.

Impact of translations on access to Cochrane reviews
This document discusses the impact of translating Cochrane reviews into other languages. It finds that Spanish and French translations see tens of thousands of page views and visits each month, accounting for 10-15% and 15-20% of total summaries traffic respectively. Translations help reach new audiences, as evidenced by France now ranking second in country statistics. While the impact is smaller, Portuguese and Croatian translations also see usage and audience increases as more reviews are translated. The top languages for translations are Spanish, French and Portuguese, matching the number of speakers of those languages globally.
Beyond the PDF + linked data and other futuristic stuff
This document discusses how linked data and other futuristic technologies can enhance the dissemination of systematic reviews beyond static PDF documents. It notes that linked data, combined with text mining, has potential to improve the production of systematic reviews as well. The document discusses how linked data can improve the reading experience by allowing readers to control their experience of content through concept-based exploration of fact-based information and networks of documents interconnected by concepts rather than just characters. This represents a shift from documents being the focus to the concepts and knowledge they contain.
Cochrane Tech: The Wider Context
1. The document discusses how cheap data is changing how knowledge is formed and discussed the increasing generativity of data sets through greater accessibility, adaptability, leverage, and ease of use.
2. It notes that collaboration and sharing of data will be necessary and discusses the potential for patient data to enable unanticipated discoveries through broad contributions.
3. Integrating most patient data is seen as mostly non-generative currently but examples of collaborations on generative data are mentioned as proving collaboration is possible. Concerns about privacy and appropriate use are also raised.
Tools and interfaces for systematic reviews
The document summarizes a lightning session on tools and interfaces for systematic reviews presented by Jessica Thomas and Jacob Riis from Silos Inc. It discusses Cochrane's current tools like RevMan and Archie. It also talks about the need to make authoring more efficient and flexible, improve automation using tools like CRS and RevMan, and leverage primary studies to automatically feed into systematic reviews as they develop in order to create "tasty data". The presentation sought feedback on improving existing resources and developing new tools and approaches.
Cochrane Present Tech - Cochrane Future Tech
The document discusses leveraging technology to improve the Cochrane review process and better deliver evidence to end-users. It proposes moving from a traditional review model to a continuous learning model that incorporates individual patient data, produces more personalized evidence, and accounts for rapidly evolving digital technologies and health apps. Specific ideas include using n-of-1 trials for chronic pain, evaluating eHealth interventions during development, and conducting large virtual cohort studies using diverse data sources. The goal is to generate the most sound individual and population-level evidence through open, linked data and continuous review methods.
Text mining, machine learning, NLP and all that (in 10 minutes)
This document discusses how machine learning and natural language processing techniques can help automate parts of the systematic review process. It notes that the volume of literature is growing rapidly, necessitating new approaches. Specifically, machine learning classifiers like support vector machines can be trained on labeled examples to screen abstracts and select potentially relevant papers, reducing the manual burden. However, imbalanced data and reviewer time constraints require approaches like active learning and dual supervision. The document concludes by suggesting text mining could also aid other review tasks beyond citation screening.
Crowdsourcing and Cochrane
Crowdsourcing uses online platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk to distribute simple tasks to many workers. Zooniverse is a platform that uses crowdsourcing for scientific research projects, ensuring tasks contribute to real research. Citizen science websites like SciStarter allow volunteers to participate in various science projects. Cochrane could use crowdsourcing to speed up reviewing literature for systematic reviews by breaking tasks into smaller pieces distributed to many volunteers, as long as tasks are clinically relevant and volunteers are motivated and supported.
Future of the article C Mavergames March 2013
The document discusses the future of Cochrane Reviews and scientific articles moving away from static documents toward structured linked data and interfaces. It argues that the focus should shift from the documents themselves to the things they are about (e.g. populations, interventions, outcomes), which can be connected as a web of data. This would allow content to be more nimble, traveling freely across datasets while retaining context. Interfaces could provide better access than documents by enabling smart search and filtering of this linked data graph. The future is making content and delivery more important than the containers (documents/articles) themselves.

Systematic reviews aim to reduce bias and provide accurate information about healthcare interventions by synthesizing evidence from multiple studies. Their evolution began in the early 20th century with early statistical meta-analyses. Later, Archie Cochrane advocated for regularly updating specialized reviews of randomized controlled trials to inform clinical practice. This led to the formation of the Cochrane Collaboration in the 1990s to produce freely accessible systematic reviews and promote evidence-based healthcare worldwide.
