This tool can help guide organizations to identify neighborhoods and their social conditions that most impact health outcomes. Background on the HCHNI The HCHNI was derived from the Healthy Places Index, developed by the Public Health Alliance of Southern California to advance health equity through open and accessible data. The Healthy Places Index maps neighborhood-by-neighborhood data on social conditions that drive health — like education, job opportunities, clean air and water, and other indicators that are positively associated with life expectancy at birth. Community leaders and other stakeholders use the HPI to compare the health and well-being of communities, identify health inequities and the factors that most contribute to health outcomes. Healthy places index scores are published on 25 component measures from 8 domains: Economic, Housing, Education, Healthcare Access, Neighborhood, Clean Air, Social & Transportation. The healthier a community, the higher the HPI score. How can a hospital benefit from utilizing the HCHNI via Cal Healthcare Compare? Cal Healthcare Compare launched the HCHNI for paid subscribers who would like to explore in more detail the equity and geographic dimensions of hospital market share and hospital health outcomes.
