Four Concepts Applied in the Public Health Systems Assessment
1. Based on the ten Essential Public Health Services
2. Focus on the overall public health system
3. Describe an optimal level of performance
4. Support a process of quality improvement

Feedback
• What’s inaccurate• Is critical information missing?• What’s unclear
![Page 8: Western District Public Health Systems Assessment Report Back November __, 2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a28550346895da20ccc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Report Organization
• One page for each Essential Service• Includes
– Description of the Service– Summary scores in graph and chart form– Analysis of the score– Context – examples of activities in the district that
help explain the scores– Possible Action Steps
![Page 9: Western District Public Health Systems Assessment Report Back November __, 2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813a28550346895da20ccc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scoring• 0 = No activity• 1-25 (%) = Minimal (no district-wide activities)• 26-50 (%) = Moderate (some district-wide activity)• 51-75 (%) = Significant (many district-wide
activities)• 76-100 (%) = Optimal (fully meets model standard)
