The increasing need for improving population health has called for hospitals and other healthcare organizations to expand efforts to partner with other entities in the community and develop a community orientation. Although community orientation of hospitals has been explored in the past two decades, newer efforts have focused on the type and extent of multisector collaborations and partnerships between hospitals and other local organizations. Drawing on publicness theory and social capital theory, the purpose of this paper was to determine the organizational and community-level factors associated with hospitals’ community orientation. Using data from the American Hospital Association’s 2022 Annual Survey and social capital index from Harvard Dataverse, the study analyzes 1,647 acute care hospitals. Our results show that community-level social capital and several organizational factors including hospital ownership, teaching status, and equity orientation were positively associated with a higher community orientation. These findings shed light on the pivotal role that organizational factors play in hospitals establishing a deeper community orientation, which can, in turn, improve population health outcomes.
