The LPHSA uses the local public health performance standards to assess the local public health system’s capacity and performance. The LPHSA’s performance assessment using model standards and measures for all of the 10 Essential Public Health Services together will provide a comprehensive picture of the work of your local public health system. How to Conduct the Local Public Health System Assessment When conducting the LPHSA , participants should consider the collective capacities, actitivies, and performance of all organizations within the local public health system. The National Public Health Performance Standards User’s Guide is a helpful resource for this assessment. To view the guide, visit www.phppo.cdc.gov/nphpsp and click on User’s Guide. Step 1 — Prepare for the Local Public Health System Assessment Begin by identifying a lead or coordinating group, organization, or subcommittee. This organization is often the health department, but other organizations have played this role in some MAPP communities. Identify individuals who can serve as the facilitator and recorder for the assessment process. It is a good idea to identify a facilitator early in the process so that he or she will have time to learn about the purpose and content of the assessment instrument. The facilitator should have strong skills in leading group discussions. T ips from the field: • A key factor to success is having visible support from the local health official and other community leaders. The active participation of these leaders in the process will emphasize the importance of the effort. • Clearly outline the timeline for this assessment. • Share the instrument in advance, so that participants have a chance to look through it and think about their comments and questions. (See the “Facilitation within the MAPP Process” tip sheet, located in the Tip Sheet Index on page 111). The lead group, including the facilitator and recorders, should review the entire instrument and gain an understanding of the format and content. This preparation will ensure a smoother process in identifying and recruiting participants, orienting the group, responding to the instrument, and discussing the assessment results. Also, consider that this assessment may require one or several meetings with systems partners, which can have an impact on the overall process. 42
Because the instrument is fairly lengthy and may initially appear daunting, the convening organizations should carefully consider the approach for conducting the assessment. The following questions should be considered: 1. How can we share materials with participants, so that they are fully prepared for the discussions, but are not overwhelmed by a lot of material? 2. How can we structure the discussions so that we get maximum participation without being burdensome to participants’ calendars? 3. How do we structure the discussions so that we go through the assessment instrument in a timely and efficient manner, but also allow for open discussion? Phase 3: LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEM ASSESSMENT T ips from the field: • Be sure to inform all participants of the 10 Essential Public Health Services. • Be aware that speed can pick up as participants become familiar with the instrument and the process for responding. • Consider starting with an Essential Service or indicator that the group may view as “easy” or more straightforward. For ideas and different approaches to these three questions, see the tip sheet on “Organizing the LPHSA” (page 49). During this step, you should also begin identifying and selecting representatives from organizations that contribute to the delivery of the 10 Essential Public Health Services and the health and well-being of the population. Existing coalitions or community committees can provide a good starting point for convening the appropriate partners. Other participants can include the local board of health, hospitals, social service providers, environmental organizations, community-based organizations, the business community, the faith community, representatives from the state level, and many others. Try to strike a good balance between a manageable number of participants and a broadly representative group. More participants can be used if the group is broken into smaller subcommittees to discuss specific Essential Services. As you plan meetings, keep in mind that groups with more than 20-25 individuals can be unwieldy. See the “Facilitation within the MAPP Process” tip sheet (page 111) and the “Guidance for Participant Identification” tip sheet (page 106) located in the Tip Sheet Index for suggestions on facilitation and participant selection.
