Date Healthcare organizations exist to serve the communities in which they reside.
Though community health has always been a focus for these organizations, new
regulations require them to take an active role. The health of a community or
geographic population has a critical impact on a healthcare organization’s
Description planning, operations, financial sustainability, outcomes and success.
As the key components of the healthcare reform legislation are implemented, it
will be even more important that provider organizations are both aware of and
responsive to the health status and disease states that are most prevalent in their
communities. Not only is a population-based focus the right thing to do, but it
may prove to be the financially astute course of action.
