The Ohio Children’s Hospital Association (OCHA) commissioned HPIO to lead a multi-faceted process to develop an Assessment of Child Health and Health Care in Ohio. The Assessment identifies Ohio’s top child health and healthcare-related priorities and provides a starting place for a child-focused health policy agenda that can pave the way for a healthier Ohio.

Top child health priorities identified in the Assessment are informed by:

  • Analysis of 58 child health specific metrics
  • Review of local health department and children’s hospital community health planning documents
  • Healthcare utilization and cost data on young Ohioans from the Ohio Department of Medicaid and the Ohio Hospital Association
  • Feedback from the Child Health and Health Care Advisory Committee

OCHA unveiled this first Assessment of Child Health and Health Care in Ohio at the Vote for Ohio Kids forum on Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018. Report findings were highlighted and discussed by a panel of clinical pediatric experts during the child health plenary. View the plenary session below.
