PROMOTING A HEALTHY PASCUA YAQUI PUEBLO

How Can We Continuously Improve Our Community Health? Community health improvement planning is a process that helps communities make decisions abouthealthbasedonaccurateandcurrentdata.Communityleaders,publichealth,andhealthcareworkerscollectandusethis informationtoensurethatprogramsandservicesaremeaningful,purposeful,andstrategic.Particularly,publichealthdepartmentsusewhat is learned from theprocess to identify thehealthneedsofthecommunityandrespondbyimplementingstrategiestomakeimprovements.Apublichealth-focused community improvement planning process often includes three components: acommunityhealthassessment,acommunityhealthimprovementplan,andanorganizationalstrategicplan.Thesearedescribedbelow:• ACommunityHealthAssessment(CHA)–acollaborativeapproachofgatheringandreviewingdata

andinformationaboutacommunity’shealthstatus.Thedataandinformationcollectedaretypicallyusedtodecideonprioritiesandtoplanactionsthatwillimprovethecommunity’shealth.

• ACommunityHealthImprovementPlan(CHIP)–acommunity-drivenplanningprocessthatusesCHAresultstoprioritizehealthconcernsandcreateaplantoaddressthem.Theplangenerallycoversafive-yearspananddescribeshowthedepartmentwillsystematicallyworktogetherwithcommunitypartnerstoaddressthemostpressinghealthneedsofthecommunity.

• AStrategicPlan–aplanthatdefineshowanorganizationintendstouseitsresourcestoachieveitsgoals.Throughacommonunderstandingofthemission,vision,goals,andobjectives,thestrategicplanprovidesaframeworkthathealthdepartmentscanusetomakedecisionsthatwillhelpitmoveforward.

Whileeachcomponentisoftenconsideredaseparateactivity,theycanbedevelopedtogetheraspartofan overall process aimed at improving health outcomes. For example, the CHA reports data andinformation about a community’s health status, which stakeholders can then use to identify thecommunity’s health priorities to be addressed in the CHIP. The strategic plan addresses the healthdepartment’sinternalcapacity(e.g.policies,resourcesandstaff),aswellasitsprogramneedsinordertosupportoverallimprovementefforts,bothinternallyandinaddressingthecommunity’shealth.
