Abstract
CCH recently approved its 2023 – 2025 strategic plan. This study aims to evaluate CCH’s access strategies compared to national and international metrics for access improvement. As county healthcare systems provide integral care for millions of patients across the nation, this analysis will provide a case analysis of using HP30 and Commonwealth Fund metrics for county health access. Use of these metrics by county healthcare systems can improve local access to healthcare, in turn improving the U.S.’s HP30 performance and international ranking on access.
