SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As the
principal Federal public health
authority, HHS/CDC intends to develop
best practices in CHNA and
implementation strategy development
and execution for improved community
health outcomes. These best practices
are intended to support community
health planning and implementation
activities, including national public
health accreditation activities wherein
state and local health departments must
conduct ‘‘community health
assessments’’ and develop community
health improvement plans. Currently,
there is considerable variation in CHNA
processes, and many available tools lack
standards to support their use in
fulfilling regulatory and accreditation
requirements. In addition, development
of best practices in CHNA may assist
charitable hospital organizations to
conduct a CHNA and adopt an
implementation strategy, as required by
Section 9007(a) of the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) (Pub. L. 111–148). Additional
information regarding the CHNA
requirement is available at https://
www.irs.gov. Proceedings from this
public forum will be compiled in a
report to serve as input to the best
practices guidelines which CDC intends
to publish later this year.
Agenda: The meeting will include
presentations related to national public
health accreditation standards, current

practices in CHNA, implementation
strategy/plan development and
execution, and the best practices
development process. The meeting will
consist of panel presentations.
Participants attending the public forum
will be invited to provide comment at
the end of each panel discussion.
NNPHI will make every effort to make
available to the public the final agenda
and panelists’ presentations two
business days before the meeting. The
final agenda and panelists’
presentations will be available at
https://WWW.REGONLINE.COM/
2011CHNAPUBLICFORUM. The agenda
is subject to change without notice. If
NNPHI is unable to post the
presentations on the registration Web
site prior to the meeting, the material
will be made publicly available at the
location of the meeting.
Procedure: Oral comments from the
public will be scheduled during public
comment periods at the end of each
panel discussion. Each commenter will
be limited to 3–5 minutes. If the number
of participants requesting to comment is
greater than can be reasonably
accommodated, NNPHI may conduct a
lottery to determine the speakers for the
scheduled public comment sessions.
Individuals interested in making formal
comments may submit their comments
to the Office of Prevention through
Healthcare mailbox at: https://
www.cdc.gov/policy/opth. Comments
must be submitted by 5 p.m. on July 20,
2011 and include ‘‘Best Practices
Guidelines’’ in the subject line.
