  4. Northeast Ohio Regional Indicators & Objectives (NEORIO)Selected Indicators The Center for Community Solutions has selected twenty indicators that are the core statistics for the NEORIO initiative. We will use these indicators to identify measurable goals and report regularly to the community. HEALTH INDICATORS • Prenatal Care • Low Birth Weight • Teen Births • Chlamydia • HIV • Tuberculosis • Disabilities • Behavioral Health • Health Insurance Coverage • Years of Potential Live Lost SOCIAL & ECONOMIC INDICATORS • High School Completion • Educational Attainment • Employment • Unemployment • Income Inequality • Renter Housing Affordability • Residential Racial & Ethnic Segregation • Child Maltreatment • Domestic Violence • Elder Abuse NEORIO indicators are measurable, are comparable using data available for the region and the state, impact a large part of the community, have potential for positive change, and are associated with other aspects of quality of life.

  5. 2011 Accomplishments Established project parameters • Selected indicators • Defined the “region” • Developed project map and initiative plans • Identified comparison areas • Developed logo • Released first indicator reports • Engaged field consultants • Introduced social media and received press attention • Engaged with other regional initiatives • Hosted two forums

  6. NEORIO has ambitious plans for 2012 and beyond • Update data for each indicator for all 16-counties • Begin to identify trends in data to determine if health, social, and economic conditions are moving in a positive direction in our region. • Evaluate the 20 NEORIO indicators to determine if changes should be made to be more responsive to community issues and newly available data. • Identify measurable objectives for each indicator • Conduct sub-regional analysis to identify communities within our region where progress on these conditions will need to occur if we are to “move the needle” on the indicator data for Northeast Ohio • Strengthen collaboration with other local and regional initiatives • Conversations have already begun with other local and regional efforts including the Sustainable Communities Consortium. • Build a team of field consultants • Bruce Akers (Cuyahoga); Chuck Calvert (Medina); Kathleen Chandler (Portage); Iris Meltzer (Summit); Matt Stefanak (Mahoning/Trumbull); Amy Szmania (Lorain); Ron Victor (Lake/Geauga) • These individuals will provide intelligence about their county, help Community Solutions establish or strengthen relationships with key opinion leaders, and obtain endorsements of the NEORIO objectives. • Begin the process of alignment • Advocacy efforts will be directed to a wide variety of civic leaders, nonprofit executives and professionals, and public officials, who will be asked to adopt these objectives and align services and funding with them. • Alignment may include committing to use NEORIO data to inform planning processes, adopting one or more NEORIO objectives as goals for the group, participating in regional conversations about health, social, and economic conditions and how to improve them, or agreeing to form partnerships with other groups. 7
