As tax-exempt hospitals, public health organizations, municipalities and community partnerships are put under more scrutiny to justify their tax-exempt status, documenting community benefit is a strategic object. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires charitable hospitals to conduct Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) once every three years. Solutions not only meets these requirements but also uses the opportunity to partner with other health organizations in the region to maximize the data collected and identify and prioritize community needs.
