8
Limitations of the document It is not the first or last time we will go through this process It compliments other assessments, not intended to replace other work Not a rigorous research study Did not evaluate services or programs Does not include every possible health related problem Relies on data from other entities (secondary data) Data and focus not exclusive to people on Oregon Health Plan, but entire county
9
Data Assumptions & Priorities Data accessible online was preferable—particularly if able to save in PDF or another readable/printable format Collect data on entire community, not just on Medicaid/Oregon Health Plan population, identify county specific data when available Collect epidemiology data on health status, prevalence, incidence of disease Collect data on social determinants of health-such as poverty, unemployment, homelessness Collect data on services related to health Collect data within the last seven years, the newer the data the better Older data was allowed if there was lack of data in that particular type of data Data on chronic disease, mental and behavioral health and addictions were emphasized Data updated regularly and/or part of a larger, reliable data system effort
11
