CONDUCTED IN SUMMER 2011

Local Public Health Agencies in Colorado Baseline Review

Objectives

Present a summary of the purpose and results of Colorado’s 2011 Baseline Review

Summarize how this effort connects with other national initiatives

Hear from you about how this information can be helpful

Why understanding public health activities, funding and staffing matters

Health care and other sectorsMeasuring performance begins with

understanding the current systemComparisons with more or less robust systems

helps to provide a rationale for your needsIdentifying your own capacity and needs for

improvement through: Comparisons to other, similar agencies Information for sharing information and services with other

agencies Potential ideas for improvement or implementation that

other agencies are doing

National Efforts

RWJF investmentsNational Surveys

NACCHO, NALBOH, ASTHO Data Harmonization Project

Currently, service delivery measures are not well understood

Today’s Focus

NACCHO Profile response ratesNACCHO Profile testing projectPHAST participationAnnual report (to OPP)Baseline ReviewPHSSR Core Services research projectMPROVEWith a little additional information thrown in

Baseline Review

Purpose: Catalogue current capacity of the CO system Inform core services and funding discussions Identify areas for improvement Fulfill CDC grant objectives Serve as the Annual Report to then be updated yearly

Methods: Tool questions reviewed by PHISC and task force

members Pre-populated tool with formerly gathered data

(NACCHO profile) 3-4 hour site visits March through August, 2011

Review Included:

Core Services Sections: Assessment/Planning, Vital Records, Communicable Disease, Prevention and Population Health Promotion (Chronic Disease, Injuries, Behavioral and Mental Health, Maternal and Child Health), Environmental Health, Emergency Preparedness

Other Direct Services Provided

Administrative/ Governance Sections: Structure, Governance, Human Resources (workforce), Financial

Core Services: Core Questions

1. Who provides service in your jurisdiction2. Do you share this service3. Could this service be shared4. Monitoring the service5. FTE dedicated to service6. Service adequately staffed7. Trainings needed for staff dedicated to service8. Funding for service9. Funding % based on sources10. Stability of funding11. Resources that have been cut12. Service adequacy for population13. Additional resources needed14. Rate CDPHE in consultation, TA and training15. What improvements are needed in this service delivery

Methods: Baseline Review of LPHA’s

Conducted Spring/Summer 2011All local public health agencies participated

Extensive tool filled out prior to visit 3-4 hour interview

Directors and staff members Board of health members (uncommon)

Data review and resubmission for any additional gaps

Baseline Review Tool

Used existing and validated tools as a starting point for development of Baseline Review Tool NACCHO Profile Minnesota’s Local Public Health Planning and

Performance Measurement Reporting System Washington’s Activities and Service Inventory McKinsey Capacity Assessment Grid

NACCHO Profile 2010


Included all Core Services Assessment, Planning, and Communication Vital Records and Statistics Communicable Disease Prevention, Investigation, and

Control Prevention and Population Health Promotion Emergency Preparedness and Response Environmental Health Administration and Governance


Service categories within each core service Chronic Disease prevention within prevention and

promotionService areas within each category

Nutrition Promotion in Chronic Disease preventionService activities within each area

Educational Materials or Policy Development within Nutrition Promotion

How is this service provided or assured?

3 = LPHA provides this service/activity. This includes main and satellite offices

2 = Provided by Another Agency (listed)1 = This service/activity is needed but not

available within jurisdiction 0 = This service/activity is not applicable

within jurisdiction

Who provides a service in your jurisdiction?

LPHA at Main Office Satellite OfficeOther County Office (please name) Obtained from another LPHA (please name)CDPHE Regional staff (CDPHE employees)CDPHE funded staff in regionsSomeone else (Please name) Contracted out by LPHA (Please name) Not available in jurisdiction Unknown Provided to another LPHA

Self-Reported Capacity

For each category within core services the following question was asked: How would you rank your jurisdiction’s capacity to

implement [core service category] at this point in time? Selection Options

1 = Clear need for increased capacity 2 = Basic level of capacity in place 3 = Moderate level of capacity in place 4 = High level of capacity in place

Adapted from McKinsey’s Capacity Grid

Self-Reported Capacity

4 = High level of capacity in place defined as: Stable funding, staffing, and facilities Majority of target population is served, including those

with health disparities Ability to measure outcomes and address needed

improvements Uses current knowledge and best practices in delivery of

service Follows current national standards [if available] Ability to seek new initiatives and access funding based

on community needs Service is supported by elected officials and well-

connected with other system partners

Your thoughts

What uses do you see for this data?How can we organize the data to help you?What other information asked in the Baseline

Review would be useful for you in your work?What kind of report/reports would you like to

Service Area in Communicable Disease Prevention and Promotion by Capacity


Total Topic Score = The Numbered entered into the box corresponding to

that service area.

Therefore, the higher the score the more likely the public health agency

delivers the service

The lower the score the more likely the service is not available within the

jurisdiction


Each Series here represents the self-reported capacity selected for

communicable disease prevention and promotion.

Series 1 = Clear need for increased capacitySeries 2 = Basic level of capacity in placeSeries 3 = Moderate level of capacity in placeSeries 4 = High level of capacity in place
