AHA NHCI Quarterly Evaluation Survey – Community Based Organizations

Shape1


AHA NHCI Quarterly Evaluation Survey Instrument – Community Based Organizations

Purpose: The Data Reporting, Evaluation, and Monitoring (DREaM) Dashboard is a metrics reporting tool. The purpose of the tool is to track efforts across the NHCI initiative regarding efforts to raise public awareness, strengthen health center care, and build health center-community linkages to improve blood pressure control. Community-based Organizations (CBOs) participating in the American Heart Association’s National Hypertension Control Initiative (NHCI) will provide qualitative and aggregated quantitative data to the DREaM on a quarterly basis throughout the duration of the grant. Access to the DREaM will be offered electronically and the AHA and its contracted evaluator (Summit) will provide technical assistance to all participating CBOs on how to navigate and respond to the data requested in the DREaM.

Key Definitions: In this questionnaire, the term “health center” refers to your HRSA-funded health center organization, which may be composed of multiple locations within a geographic area. The terms “health center sites” or “sites” refers to the individual locations of your health center.

Hypertension refers to a blood pressure reading of greater than 140/90. Controlled hypertension refers to a blood pressure reading of less than 140/90, consistent with UDS Measure of SMS165 V10.

Time Commitment of Key Personnel: This questionnaire will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please answer all questions as clearly and accurately as possible. Please have the same person at your CBO respond to the survey each quarter. You may need to consult with multiple people at your CBO, including people who can access population-level visit and demographic data (such as Information Technology (IT) or Quality Improvement (QI) team members), and people familiar with blood pressure devices, staff training, and referrals to community health centers within your CBO (such as a clinical leader or QI team member). Actual data is highly preferred over estimated data if you have the reporting capability.

Once you have completed all questions, please press ‘Submit’ to save and submit your responses. All responses will be sent to AHA for the purposes of evaluating the National Hypertension Control Initiative (NHCI) and helping you reach your target audiences with blood pressure information and support. Aggregated responses from all health centers will be shared to inform quality improvement activities. Individual health center responses will not be shared publicly and will be reviewed confidentially by AHA’s team to inform individualized health center support.

The same person at your health center should answer this survey each quarter.

    1. Community Health Center

    2. Community-Based Organization

[If Q1 = a, respondent will be directed to the Community Health Center Questionnaire; if Q1 = b, respondent will be directed to the Community-Based Organization Questionnaire]
