Vanderbilt University Medical Center's (VUMC) 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) includes a description of the significant health needs identified and prioritized by the communities through the CHNA process. In 2024, the CHNA prioritization of significant health needs involved multiple phases. VUMC and its partners gathered and analyzed primary data from various community members and partners. Additionally, VUMC reviewed over 100 health indicators from publicly available secondary data sources and conducted environmental and policy scans in each county representing the community served. In each of the six counties the 2024 CHNA focused on (Bedford, Coffee, Davidson, Rutherford, Williamson, and Wilson Counties), VUMC convened prioritization meetings, which included local health departments, community leaders representing several sectors and various organizations. The results of VUMC's health assessment were presented in the prioritization meetings, and participants were asked to prioritize their communities' most pressing health needs through interactive exercises-each county's prioritization process generated prioritized needs with commonalities across counties. Individual county needs are described at length in VUMC's 2024 CHNA. VUMC grouped the identified needs into four overarching categories to serve as its prioritized needs: Reduce Differences in Health Outcomes by Addressing Health-Related Social Needs, Prevent Chronic Conditions and Enhance Preventative Care, Increase Access to Quality Healthcare, and Enhance Delivery of and Access to Behavioral Health Services.

Facility , 1 - Vanderbilt University Medical Center Hospitals. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) identified four significant health needs in the 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The four significant health needs identified are - 1) Reduce Differences in Health Outcomes by Addressing Health-Related Social Needs, 2) Prevent Chronic Conditions and Enhance Preventative Care, 3) Increase Access to Quality Healthcare, and 4) Enhance Delivery of and Access to Behavioral Health Services. VUMC addresses all four needs within the 2024 Implementation Strategy (IS). The 2024 IS includes a multitude of actions aimed at addressing needs identified by the community. VUMC's plan to evaluate impact is embedded within each action. A few specific actions are described below in detail. VUMC's Office of Community Health & Engagement (OCHE) released a Request for Proposals for community projects addressing one or more CHNA priority areas. Organizations were selected to receive these awards after a competitive review with a committee of academic and community reviewers. The grantees received up to $10,000 to complete their work over 12 months. To date, the program has supported 64 community projects. The VUMC's OCHE continues to support local health departments and health councils in all six counties in developing their Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP), which outline their strategies to address the health needs identified through the Community Health Assessment. The team also participates in health council meetings to develop goals, objectives, and evaluation metrics for the CHIP. VUMC's participation in this work allows the OCHE to bring VUMC resources and valuable community health data to improve the health of the community and align the priorities identified in the CHNA with the CHIP objectives. In Davidson County, VUMC is involved in collaboratives focused on the four prioritized needs. The Safety Net Consortium of Middle Tennessee (SNC), which focuses on access to and quality of care for groups that lack access to healthcare and health insurance, continues to meet monthly and launched My Health Care Home. This web-based tool facilitates finding and accessing federally qualified health centers and faith-based and charitable clinics that serve groups with limited access to healthcare and health insurance. Leaders from the Office of Population Health, the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, and the OCHE participate in SNC meetings. The VUMC's OCHE is actively engaged with the Healthy Nashville Leadership Council, and the Associate Vice President Chairs this mayoral-appointed committee. The workgroup's focus is to educate the community on reducing differences in health outcomes, strengthening capacity, and advancing the work led by non-profit organizations that promote the health and well-being of all. VUMC staff have also participated in the WeCare workgroup of the Prevention Coalition for Success, focused on addressing the opioid epidemic in a healthcare setting. This meeting is coordinated by the Prevention Coalition for Success and hosted quarterly at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford. VUMC's OHE also participates in the Rutherford County Wellness Council. In Williamson County, VUMC's OCHE also supports local community groups such as the Williamson Prevention Coalition and the Williamson County Health Council, which promotes community health. In Wilson County, VUMC's OCHE also plays an active role in groups such as the Wilson County Health Council, the Mental Health and Substance Use Health Council Subcommittee, and Drug-Free Wilco to help gauge the needs and resources within the community.

In each of the six counties the 2024 CHNA focused on (Bedford, Coffee, Davidson, Rutherford, Williamson, and Wilson Counties), VUMC convened prioritization meetings, which included local health departments, community leaders representing several sectors and various organizations. The results of VUMC's health assessment were presented in the prioritization meetings, and participants were asked to prioritize their communities' most pressing health needs through interactive exercises-each county's prioritization process generated prioritized needs with commonalities across counties. Individual county needs are described at length in VUMC's 2024 CHNA. VUMC grouped the identified needs into four overarching categories to serve as its prioritized needs: Reduce Differences in Health Outcomes by Addressing Health-Related Social Needs, Prevent Chronic Conditions and Enhance Preventative Care, Increase Access to Quality Healthcare, and Enhance Delivery of and Access to Behavioral Health Services.

Facility , 1 - Vanderbilt Bedford County Hospital. Vanderbilt Bedford County Hospital (VBCH) identified four significant health needs in the 2024 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). The four significant health needs identified are - 1) Reduce Differences in Health Outcomes by Addressing Health-Related Social Needs, 2) Prevent Chronic Conditions and Enhance Preventative Care, 3) Increase Access to Quality Healthcare, and 4) Enhance Delivery of and Access to Behavioral Health Services. VUMC addresses all four needs within the 2024 Implementation Strategy (IS). The 2024 IS includes a multitude of actions aimed at addressing needs identified by the community. VUMC's plan to evaluate impact is embedded within each action. A few specific actions are described below in detail. VUMC's Office of Community Health & Engagement (OCHE) released a Request for Proposals for community projects addressing one or more CHNA priority areas. Organizations were selected to receive these awards after a competitive review with a committee of academic and community reviewers. The grantees received up to $10,000 to complete their work over 12 months. To date, the program has supported 64 community projects. The VUMC's OCHE continues to support local health departments and health councils in all six counties in developing their Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP), which outline their strategies to address the health needs identified through the Community Health Assessment. The team also participates in health council meetings to develop goals, objectives, and evaluation metrics for the CHIP. VUMC's participation in this work allows the OCHE to bring VUMC resources and valuable community health data to improve the health of the community and align the priorities identified in the CHNA with the CHIP objectives. In Davidson County, VUMC is involved in collaboratives focused on the four prioritized needs. The Safety Net Consortium of Middle Tennessee (SNC), which focuses on access to and quality of care for groups that lack access to healthcare and health insurance, continues to meet monthly and launched My Health Care Home. This web-based tool facilitates finding and accessing federally qualified health centers and faith-based and charitable clinics that serve groups with limited access to healthcare and health insurance. Leaders from the Office of Population Health, the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance, and the OCHE participate in SNC meetings. The VUMC's OCHE is actively engaged with the Healthy Nashville Leadership Council. The workgroup's focus is to educate the community on reducing differences in health outcomes, strengthening capacity, and advancing the work led by non-profit organizations that promote the health and well-being of all. VUMC staff have also participated in the WeCare workgroup of the Prevention Coalition for Success, focused on addressing the opioid epidemic in a healthcare setting. This meeting is coordinated by the Prevention Coalition for Success and hosted quarterly at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford. VUMC's OHE also participates in the Rutherford County Wellness Council. In Williamson County, VUMC's OHE also supports local community groups such as the Williamson Prevention Coalition, and the Williamson County Health Council. In Wilson County, VUMC's OCHE also plays an active role in groups such as the Wilson County Health Council, the Mental Health and Substance Use Health Council Subcommittee, and Drug-Free Wilco to help gauge the needs and resources within the community.
