To improve the health status of the communities our member
hospitals serve, the Hospital Council fosters collaboration
between our members and community stakeholders to find solutions
to promote good health and high-quality care services.
Hospital Council also provides a broad range
of services to support member hospital manage the
delivery of care in their communities. Services include cost
effective projects, education programs, publications and the
fostering of relationships with vendors who offer products
or services that help health care facilities avoid costs, recover
revenue, and reduce operating and capital expenses.
After a comprehensive review of background screening companies,
Hospital Council and Hospital Association of Southern California
(HASC) have jointly named Accurate as an endorsed business
partner for employment screening services.
The endorsement provides member hospitals with a comprehensive
portfolio of employment screening solutions – from criminal
background checks and drug screening to verifications and ongoing
workforce monitoring – to help organizations comply with state,
federal, and association requirements.
Hospital Council recently arranged and participated in a tour of
Santa Rosa Behavioral Healthcare Hospital (formerly Aurora) that
also included Liz Gibboney, CEO of Partnership Health Plan.
In late 2019, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
announced the hospital price transparency rule, which requires
hospitals — beginning on Jan. 1, 2021 — to provide publicly
accessible standard charge information about the items and
services they render.
As part of its public advocacy efforts, the Hospital Council
brings hospitals together to collaborate on community health
needs assessments (CHNAs). Hospitals can be a catalyst to lead
the community in addressing the most pressing health needs. The
CHNAs provide a data-driven understanding of these needs, and
empowering hospitals to form coalitions with community partners,
government agencies, elected officials, civic groups and the
media, to address and improve community-wide health issues.
The Santa Clara County Community Benefits Hospital Coalition
consists of nonprofit hospitals/systems and the Hospital Council
of Northern and Central California, in partnership with the Santa
Clara County Public Health Department.
The Coalition’s goal for the 2019 Community Health Needs
Assessment is to collectively gather community feedback and
secondary data about health status. With this assessment,
hospital members will then develop implementation strategies to
help tackle these needs and continue to improve the health status
of the communities they serve.
The 2019 San Francisco Community Health Needs Assessment has been
released, and will be the topic of an Oct. 22 breakfast hosted by
