Additional tips for conducting the LPHSA • Recruit all system partners that are appropriate to assess the public health system. If the entire system is well-represented, then responses will better reflect current activities. Work closely to ensure their full involvement in the assessment process. • At the beginning, review the methods and process with participants. Allow the group to make suggestions regarding the best way for moving through the instrument efficiently. • Design a process that keeps the discussion moving and focused on the content of the standards, rather than getting “bogged down” in the questions. • Track ideas, comments, and potential solutions so that these ideas can be revisited later. • Think about creative ways to reduce paper shuffling. For example, the instrument can be projected from a laptop to an overhead screen so that all participants can follow the questions easily. • Consider sharing only the model standards to keep the discussion focused on the overall activities being conducted in the system. The facilitator and recorder can use copies of the full instrument to prompt discussion and track responses to questions. Or, voting on the measures can occur. • Consider the pros and cons of using different sets of individuals to respond to different sections of the instrument. A process using one large group will promote maximum cross-fertilization of ideas and sharing of information. If small groups are used, be sure that there is a core group present to ensure consistency. Also, present key ideas or discussion points back to the entire group, so that all participants become informed about and make comments on all sections. 48
Worksheet – Organizing for the Local Public Health System Assessment In structuring a successful process for using the Local Public Health System Assessment (LPHSA), consider these three questions: 1. How can we share materials with participants so that they are fully prepared for the discussions, but not overwhelmed by 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 Question 1: How can we share materials with participants so that they are fully prepared for the discussions, but not overwhelmed by material? Prior to the discussions, participants should be encouraged to think about their perception of how well the system is operating, conducting public health services, and accomplishing the stated standards. If possible, participants should review materials prior to the meeting in order to limit the amount of reading that occurs during the discussion. • Option 1: Provide participants with a copy of the Essential Service(s) that will be discussed during each meeting. Asking participants to view only one or two services at a time will not overwhelm them. The copies can be used for noting individual perceptions and will help to prepare participants for group discussion. • Option 2: Share the full document with all participants at the beginning of the process. This allows participants to review the entire document and the full breadth of the instrument. It also provides participants with an opportunity to identify which of the10 Essential Public Health Services they contribute to most. • Option 3: Share only the 32 model standards with participants. This allows participants to focus on the content of the assessment. Additionally, participants will receive a smaller amount of paper, which may seem less overwhelming.
