Hospitals Encouraged To Complete 2026 Population Health Assessment Survey By May 22

There are two weeks left for hospital staff to complete the Missouri Hospital Association’s 2026 population health assessment survey, which is aimed at evaluating hospitals’ progress in their transition to a value-based environment. Surveys should be completed electronically by Friday, May 22.

The assessment covers the following nine categories to evaluate an organization’s progress toward health improvement — leadership, patients and community, workforce, finance, data and technology, operations, legal and regulatory, outcomes, and policy and advocacy.

Once information from these disciplines is gathered from respective staff, the survey will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete. A PDF version is available to help staff gather required information in advance, and hospitals may request a copy of their 2023 survey from MHA.

Health systems may choose to submit a single survey on behalf of all hospitals.

The survey results will inform MHA’s population health strategy that seeks to achieve better health for populations, better care for patients and increased value of care delivered, with a shared vision of building a statewide culture of health. Results will be shared with hospitals in September 2026.
