What is the East Riding Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA)?

The JSNA is a process to establish local health and care needs through evidence, to determine how well the needs are being met and how they can be improved. It generates an evidence base for the local health and social care system, which helps reach consensus on key local priorities. This in turn influences system planning and commissioning decisions (ultimately to improve health and wellbeing outcomes and reduce inequalities within the East Riding). It also informs the development of a Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy (JHWBS) for the East Riding, which is available to see further down this page.

Rather than one overarching document, think of the JSNA as a collection of smaller needs assessments and intelligence insights, helping to form an overall picture of need.

Conditions of living

To try to show the dynamic interaction between the conditions of living and the major conditions of illness East Riding Public Health have created a ‘Conditions of Living’ model (adapted from Dahlgren-Whitehead’s model – 1991). The model attempts to show the factors that influence our health in society. This builds on the World Health Organisation’s definition of health and frames the breadth of factors that need to be improved to have a positive effect on health and wellbeing.

You can navigate through site via the Conditions of living Wheel below or by using the menus at the top of the page.

Health and Wellbeing Strategy

The East Riding Health and Wellbeing Strategy outlines the priorities of the Health and Wellbeing Board to improve the health and wellbeing of the East Riding of Yorkshire. It is designed to create conditions that prevent ill health and support healthy lifestyles, to reduce health inequalities and ensure healthy and independent ageing. The strategy is supported by the JSNA.

Our Health and Wellbeing strategy’s aims are available in the video below and the full strategy can be read here,
