Community Benefit Reporting Software
NJHA is helping hospitals automate the process of collection and reporting data on the community benefit they provide. The Lyons community benefit reporting software will allow them to standardize gathering and assembling of this data. "CBISA Online™ is a comprehensive software program designed to meet all of your community benefit reporting needs. Quantifiable statistical information is collected through the Activities/Occurrence and Financial Service modules. The Leadership Journal module allows you to store all of your narratives and non-quantifiable information. Then, CBISA Online™ takes your community benefit reporting to the next level. With the Outcomes module, the software gives you the ability not only to track statistics and enter stories, but to record the effectiveness of your programs. You can log your baseline goals and strategies, specific indicators, measurable and anecdotal results. CBISA Online™ is available for hospitals and long term care facilities."

Effective Communication in Healthcare: Interpreter/Translation Services for Limited English Proficiency Populations in New Jersey
This publication, developed by the New Jersey Hospital Association Interpreter/ Translation Services Task Force, is a report of the task force's review and proposed policy recommendations on a number of interpreter services issues. As part of a legislative mandate and under regulatory requirements, hospitals were charged with ensuring that the deaf, hard of hearing and persons with limited English proficiency have access to programs and services. Ensuring such access requires effective communication. In turn, hospitals recognize that effective communication is critical to providing high quality, safe healthcare.
