Ron Deprez presents in webinar on community health needs assessments

On Thursday, March 27, 2014, Ron Deprez, Ph.D., M.P.H., director of Research Programs in the School of Community and Population Health, was the featured presenter in a webinar titled "Translating Data into Healthcare Service Needs of a Population.鈥

The webinar, sponsored by the New England Society for Healthcare Strategy, addressed a critical step in community health needs assessments (CHNAs)鈥攖he use of analytical methods to identify health service needs of populations.

In the webinar, Deprez presented an epidemiological (public health) approach to assessing population based health indicators (i.e., risk factor, disease prevalence, utilization, morbidity and mortality data) to first identify priority health issues and subsequently service needs of a population.

Deprez is a nationally respected leader in the development of healthcare needs assessment and planning technologies, which are now required of non-profit hospitals under the Accountable Care Act.  He has led more than 80 CHNAs all over the U.S. and abroad over the past 23 years.
