Improving Community Health Status by Enhancing Community Health Planning Content Process and Execution
Many public health entities, community coalitions, community service organizations, and other public and private organizations are faced with both the demands for program development and enhancement and opportunities emerging from the focus on public and private health care services following 9/11. The presentation will describe how health planning tools such as population-based needs assessment and resource deployment and capacity management could contribute to substantive plans for funding key services. The speakers will detail many concrete opportunities to enhance community-based, public and private planning efforts intended to create and implement appropriate and effective plans that address community health and related needs. These opportunities include an e-Planner web-based communications exchange and resource repository, practical planning tools and templates for a variety of scenarios, and access to technical assistance.
Learning Objectives: Participants will learn the details of concrete opportunities to enhance community-based, public and private planning efforts including how a web-based tool can be used to enhance the health planning skills of public and private public health professionals whose responsibilities encompass aspects of community-based health planning, how consultants expert in community health planning can provide technical assistance to the public health community in order to enhance the quality of the products of their community engagements and research and how community health planning templates are transferable to other program types and community scenarios.
