2018 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN | District 4 Public Health
Introduction
What is a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)? A community health improvement plan is a long-term, systematic effort developed to address the community’s most important public health problems. The plan is based on the results of the community health assessment (CHA). Community partners interested in working toward improving the health of the residents of District 4, use the plan to identify local health issues, set priorities, and coordinate resources. The efforts of these partners are working toward the long-term goal of having healthy communities with equitable access to care.
How Will This Plan be Used? The plan guides community partners, healthcare systems, public health departments, social service agencies, and other community partners within District 4 on our collaborative efforts. We will track our progress toward completing each of the goals and improving each of the top three concerns identified in the CHIP through the use of the VMSG Dashboard (See Appendix F for more detailed description), which is capable of tracking and managing all of our planning documents. Once the subcommittees are formed, and leadership is established, we will give the subcommittee leaders access to the dashboard so that they can enter and track their individual subcommittee progress. We, as a district, will then report progress on all CHIP goals back to the community via the District 4 website (www.district4health.org) on an annual basis, beginning on July 1, 2019. While this is a long-term plan, it is also a living document that will be updated and improved upon as needed throughout this process.
How Was This Plan Developed? Once the District-wide CHA was adopted on April 16th, 2018 we began forming a CHIP Community Coalition. We followed the outline suggested by Kansas Health Institute (See References for link).
A Chronological Overview of the CHIP Prioritization Process April 20, 2018: CHIP Community Coalition Meeting #1
Along with the ACT (Alliance for Community Transformation) Coalition, we held a joint meeting at the Newnan Centre from 10AM – 2PM. There were 69 attendees at this meeting. During the meeting, we provided an overview of PHAB Accreditation (what it is, why it is important, and where we are in the application process), the CHA data, Healthy People
P a g e | 6
2018 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN | District 4 Public Health
2020 priorities, CDC 6/18 Initiative priorities, and GA DPH SHIP priorities (See Appendix C for meeting documents). We discussed which issues overlapped, and why we should consider attempting to align with some of these priorities. Community partners were given sticky notes and asked to write their own personal top 3 concerns for their community, based on their own experiences; we also asked them to consider the following questions:
1. How many people are affected by this issue? 2. How does the issue affect quality of life, the economic burden on the community,
and any other pertinent criteria? 3. Are public health strategies available to successfully address the issue? Is the
problem responsive to interventions? 4. What is the level of community concern? 5. Consider how feasible it is to solve this issue in your community, considering
political climate, resources, and capacity.
Once partners had selected their own top 3, we asked them to place them on one of several large sheets of paper hanging on the wall. Once they were all up, we placed them into categories:
1. Diseases 2. Social Determinants of Health 3. Behaviors 4. Other
We then tallied up how many of each issue there was, and from that we established our top 10 list (which was actually a top 17 list, because several issues tied).
Initial Top Priorities 1. Obesity 2. Mental Health 3. Substance Abuse 4. Smoking 5. Hypertension 6. Diabetes 7. Transportation 8. Healthcare 9. Teen Pregnancy 10. Poverty 11. Employment 12. Housing 13. Education 14. Physical Activity 15. Infant/Maternal Mortality

16. STD/STI 17. Child Abuse
May 9, 2018: CHIP Steering Team Meeting #1
We assembled a Steering Team that consists of subject matter experts from District 4, as well as one community partner, and our Academic Health Department partner (See Appendix B for Steering Team list). During this meeting, the 12 Steering Team members discussed the findings from the first community meeting, and went over the MAPP process. We asked the same questions of our Steering team that we asked of our Community Partners (see list 1-5 above). We used the Nominal Group Technique to narrow the top priority list down from 17 to 5 (See Appendix C for Group Scoring Page).
Original Top 5 List: 1. Obesity 2. Mental Health 3. Substance Abuse 4. Hypertension 5. Diabetes
Upon further examination of our top 5, we realized that several were very closely related, so, we chose to condense those into one priority. Diabetes and hypertension were combined as part of obesity. The next two on our list were smoking and healthcare, and it was again decided that smoking was redundant to substance abuse, so we combined them. Furthermore, we decided to alter the priority of healthcare to access to healthcare. The next priority on the list was poverty, and we decided as a group that poverty influences everything, so we chose to include it in our top 5. We then placed those top 5 into a Prioritization Matrix to narrow them down to a top 3 (See Appendix C for picture of the Prioritization Matrix).
What are the Top 3 Health Priorities for District 4? 1. Poverty 2. Obesity and Related Diseases 3. Access to Healthcare and Preventative Services
May 25th, 2018: CHIP Community Coalition Meeting #2
During this meeting, we utilized our VICS video conferencing system and had 70 participants. We reserved a room with VICS in all 12 county health departments, and had a 13-way video conference in which we discussed the top 3 priorities, and how we came to them. We also went into more detail about the MAPP Process and where we are in that process. We allowed group discussion and input about the choices, as well as any questions. There was no argument that we had an appropriate top 3 list. We then went
P a g e | 8
2018 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN | District 4 Public Health
around the counties and talked about the realities that the residents see every day, as they relate to our top 3 concerns. We wrote down each county’s answers. We then distributed data sheets for each individual county, as well as an asset list for each county. What ensued was a discussion about the data versus their perception. Our Chronic Disease Prevention Manager talked to the group about who needs to be “at the table” when the time comes to develop a county workplan, and what a healthy community looks like to them (See Appendix D for data sheets, asset lists, and healthy community feedback).
June 4, 2018: CHIP Steering Team Meeting #2
At this Steering Team meeting, the 12 Steering Team members took the feedback from the community partners and the data from the CHA, and set goals, objectives, intervention strategies, performance measures, who could be responsible for implementation, and possible collaborators for Access to Care.
June 11, 2018: CHIP Steering Team Meeting #3
At this Steering Team meeting, the 10 Steering Team members reviewed the previous work on Access to Care, and then moved on to Obesity. We once again took the feedback from the community partners and the data from the CHA, and set goals, objectives, intervention strategies, performance measures, who could be responsible for implementation, and possible collaborators.
June 18, 2018: CHIP Steering Team Meeting #4
At this Steering Team Meeting, the 12 Steering Team members reviewed the work we had done on Access to Care and Obesity, and then moved on to Poverty. As with the previous two priorities, we utilized the community feedback and CHA data to set goals, objectives, intervention strategies, performance measures, who could be responsible for implementation, and possible collaborators.
June 29, 2018: CHIP Community Coalition Meeting #3
At this final meeting, we reviewed the final working draft of the CHIP document, and answered questions about the strategies, goals, and measures. We made a few edits to the content and changed a few pieces of incorrect information before the finalization of the document. A large part of the meeting was spent filling in the gaps of the SWOT analysis for each county, as I was not able to finish collecting that data at the second CHIP Community Coalition Meeting. We will use this feedback to edit/complete the SWOT analyses, which will then be used to inform the individual county workplans at a later time.
(See Appendix C for all CHIP Meeting Documentation)

SWOT Analysis for each County Please see Appendix E for a SWOT analysis of each county. These discussions helped us to decide what our goals should be for the district over the next 5 years, and will play a large role in developing our county workplans.
Strategic Questions Identified by Steering Team for District 4 Priorities
Poverty • How does income inequality affect the overall health of a community? • What health disparities do we see that are a direct result of poverty? • How can we work together as a district to use the existing assets that we have most
effectively? • How can we bring the topic of poverty to the forefront in our communities?
Obesity and Related Diseases • How can we reduce obesity rates in our young population? • How can we increase nutrition education and availability of fresh produce to all
citizens, regardless of socioeconomic status? • How can we address obesity in each county, so that it makes sense for the
demographics for that county? • How can we get our local governments on the same page, making health a priority in
all policies?
Access to Healthcare and Preventative Services • How can we increase access to health and preventative services in all 12 counties,
without duplicating efforts? Are there resources that we can share? • How can we increase the use of telemedicine to help ease the burden of lack of
public transportation? • How can we bring wrap-around services to schools, again, eliminating the burden of
figuring out transportation? • How can we find the gaps that we have, and fill those gaps?
After answering these questions, we began developing our action plan. This plan is for the district as a whole, but we intend to work with each county, individually, to create a workplan for their specific needs. We have a diverse district, and this will be the most effective way to make a difference on a county level. As these workplans are developed, we will add them to the appendix of the CHIP for reference.

Appendix E: County-Level SWOT Analyses
Community partners and residents provided feedback on the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) that they see in their county. This was done in two parts: First, at the CHIP
Community Coalition Meeting that took place on May 9, 2018, and then during the final CHIP Community Coalition meeting on June 29, 2018. The initial feedback was used to help inform the
goals and objectives in the CHIP, and the completed SWOTs will be used to develop the county workplans.

Appendix F: VMSG Dashboard According to a description of the dashboard on Globe News Wire, “The VMSG Dashboard is a performance management system designed specifically to assist public health departments in the development, implementation and performance management of the Strategic and Operational Planning process. The Dashboard facilitates quick and accurate planning changes and is designed to allow both internal and external users to keep their plans up-to-date in real time. For public health departments seeking PHAB accreditation, the VMSG Dashboard has been designated as "fully demonstrated" by the Public Health Accreditation Board for Standard 9.1 applicable to most U.S. public health departments.”
