The Health Policy Institute of Ohio released the latest edition of its Health Value Dashboard, which ranks states and the District of Columbia on a combination of population health and healthcare spending metrics. According to the Dashboard, Ohio ranks 46th in the nation in health value.
The Dashboard is unique in its emphasis on "health value," rather than on population health outcomes alone. No other national rankings factor in the impact of healthcare spending. The Dashboard also takes a more comprehensive approach in looking at health by evaluating social, economic and physical environments - which are significant contributors to overall health. The Dashboard provides in depth data on 118 metrics.
The Health Policy Institute of Ohio is hosting a series of free regional forums based on the recently released 2017 Health Value Dashboard.
At these regional forums, stakeholders will learn about Ohio's overall health status and challenges, as well as health disparities and inequities experienced by minority and other populations across the state. Data and information will be shared from the 2017 HPIO Health Value Dashboard and the 2016 State Health Assessment. Forum attendance is free of charge, but registration is required.
