Needs assessment Objectives - What do you want to know? Identify the Target Audience - From whom are going to collect information and
data? Establish Procedure - How are you going to select a group of individuals that
will represent your target population? Methods - How do you plan to collect data? Instruments and Techniques - What instruments and techniques will you use to

Establish a diverse Steering Committee
Determine the timeline for HSRC implementation and process by setting due dates
Form work groups (Try for 11 – one for each characteristic)
Review the HSRC so work groups know the indicators
Determine standards – must establish good vs. bad vs. best
Each work group prepares a summary report with:-how collected answers, conclusions, recommendations, and priority rankings
Steering committee drafts overall summary report to be shared with the community
Complete a preliminary assessment for Question 1 (Does it exist?)
Collect additional information if status not clear (interviews, surveys, etc)
Complete final assessment – answer all 3 questions
Develop goals and objectives, set priorities
Track your progress using a portfolio – CELEBRATE SUCCESSES!
