Local Efforts & Regional Value
Community health improvement (health assessment, planning, action, and evaluation) in western North Carolina is a locally-led and implemented process. This regional initiative is designed to support and enhance local efforts by:
- Standardizing and conducting data collection
- Creating reporting and communication templates and tools
- Encouraging collaboration
- Providing training and technical assistance
- Addressing regional priorities
- Sharing evidence-based practices
We are using the “collective impact” vision and framework to help guide our work on the community health improvement process. To dig deeper, we are applying the common language and planning, monitoring, and evaluation framework of Results-Based Accountability™.
