The North Hawaii Outcomes Project (NHOP) is a project of The Earl and Doris Bakken Foundation and works to support existing and future efforts to improve the health and quality of life in North Hawaii by developing a common useful community health profile.  The purpose of a common health profile is to clarify common goals and to both track and facilitate community  health improvement.   NHOP uses the Institute of Medicine Health, Community Improvement Process (CHIP) which serves as the model for linking community health data and improvement.

NHOP also collaborates with local, county, state, and national organizations, which have overlapping missions.
