Basic Evaluation Framework for Assessing Progress on Identified Priority Health Needs in Your Immediately Preceding CHNA and Implementation Strategy

An important part of the CHNA is to evaluate the impact of the actions you took to address the significant health needs from your previous CHNA report. If you did not create an evaluation framework in your previous Implementation Strategy to assess progress, you can use this simple table as an example to guide you through the evaluation process.
