1. Introduction & Purpose
The Central Nevada Health District (CNHD) is soliciting proposals from qualified
contractors to design, conduct, and deliver a comprehensive Community Health Needs
Assessment (CHNA) for its service area, in compliance with the Public Health Accreditation
Board (PHAB) Standards and Measures (Version 1.5 and subsequent guidance).
The CHNA will serve as the foundation for CNHD’s Community Health Improvement Plan
(CHIP), policy development, and strategic resource allocation. It will be developed using a
collaborative and participatory approach, consistent with PHAB Standard 1.1, and will
address the full CNHD jurisdiction.
2. Scope of Work
Phase 1 – Project Planning & Partnership Engagement
• Establish a multi-sector advisory group including representatives from local
government, service-area hospitals, business, education, housing, law enforcement,
healthcare providers, community-based organizations, underserved populations,
and Tribal partners where applicable.
• Develop a detailed work plan with CNHD leadership.
• Ensure inclusion of at least two populations at higher health risk or with poorer
health outcomes in alignment with PHAB requirements.
Phase 2 – Data Collection & Analysis
• Collect quantitative and qualitative primary data from diverse population groups,
using surveys, focus groups, key informant interviews, community forums, and/or
other appropriate methods.
• Gather and analyze secondary data from public health, hospital, state, Tribal, and
federal sources, including demographic, socioeconomic, morbidity, mortality, and
behavioral risk data.
• Identify health disparities and inequities by population group and geography,
incorporating social determinants of health.
• Map community assets and resources.
Phase 3 – Collaborative Assessment Development
• Facilitate regular meetings with the advisory group to review data, identify health
priorities, and discuss assets and resources.
• Use a recognized CHNA framework (e.g., MAPP, NACCHO Toolkit, ACHI Toolkit,
County Health Rankings Action Center) or a clearly defined custom methodology
consistent with PHAB guidance.
Phase 4 – Public Review & Feedback
• Share findings with the public, partners, and stakeholders via public meetings or
community-based forums.
• Develop process to document all feedback received for review and consideration in
future assessment and planning efforts.
Phase 5 – Final Report & Dissemination
• Deliver a final CHNA report including executive summary, data and methods,
demographics, priority health issues, contributing factors, health inequities,
community assets/resources, and recommendations.
• Provide at least two documented methods of informing partners and the public of
the CHNA’s availability.
• Present findings to CNHD Board, advisory group, and community stakeholders.
