Public Health Assessment and Planning Requirements and The Regional Health
Assessment and Planning (connecting the dots)
Channa and Jenny presented together on the state of the RHA, RHIP and PHA. DCHS is
required by the legislature to assess the needs of our local residents based on best practices
through Public Health Modernization. DCHS developed a strategic plan that is linked to the
performance management system as a way of monitoring goals and achievements as part of
the accreditation process. This ensures we are all moving in the same direction and taking a
targeted approach to the work and mutually reinforcing activities towards common goals as
“To promote and protect the health and safety of our community.” Updated 8/4/20
part of the Collective Impact Model. The RHA and RHIP are used to create the local Strategic
Plan in order to prioritize goals and metrics that relate to Public health, identify strategies and
implement them. DCHS relies on feedback from PHAB and the BOCC in our day-to-day
decision making and long term planning to make for a healthier population in Deschutes
County. Health data information can be found on the county website at
(www.deschutes.org/healthdata).
Jenny spoke about the process involving the RHIP and RHA. The RHA was completed in July
this year and prioritization was recently completed this month, while the RHIP is anticipated to
be completed in December 2019. The purpose of the RHA is to get a snapshot of our health
related strengths and weaknesses at a point in time. Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson and northern
Klamath Counties, as well as the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, all partnered to create
a RHA every 4 years. Several different agencies/groups from all over Central Oregon were on
the RHA Steering Committee as part the collaboration. The RHA is made up of quantitative
and qualitative data that was collected through analyzing existing databases, conducting
various surveys and collecting focus group data.
Even more groups were involved in the prioritization process, at which time a review was
conducted of the quantitative data, focus group data, SHIP priorities, State Public Health
Modernization Accountability Metrics, and Healthy People 2020 measures. Priorities were
scored from 0 to 3 based on their impact, preventability/controllability, and feasibility.
Aggregated prioritization scores were shared with the COHC Board and COHC Community
th
Advisory Council. A consensus workshop was held on September 12 to identify RHIP priority
areas.
The 6 priority areas identified were:
1. Upstream Prevention: Promotion of Individual Well-Being
2. Promoting Enhanced Physical Health Across Communities
3. Behavioral Health: Increased Access & Integration
4. Substance & Alcohol Misuse, Prevention and Treatment
5. Stable Housing & Support
6. Addressing Poverty and Enhancing Self-Sufficiency
Other possible DCHS priorities:
Unintentional injuries
Sexually transmitted infections
Vaccine-preventable diseases
Cost of healthy foods and food insecurity
Emerging public health threats
Priorities and criteria for PHAB to consider:
Ties to work and priorities of Public Health
Data-informed
Something we can impact and/or change
BOCC engagement/support and approval
PHAB Annual Retreat and Goal Setting Dialogue with BOCC
“To promote and protect the health and safety of our community.” Updated 8/4/20
The BOCC and PHAB discussed several ideas for PHAB’s consideration during the annual
retreat:
Mobile food units and safety issues/inspections
Fall prevention/unintentional injuries
Immunizations (adolescent vaccinations)
Chronic Diseases (obesity, diabetes)
Emerging Public Health threats (fires, smoke, etc.)
How do we set our priorities to align with PH work? Rebecca mentioned that COHC created a
scoring matrix to prioritize their goals. Tom will email the scoring matrix to the board to help
identify PHAB’s priorities for 2020. He asked that members review the priorities and add any
th
others they feel should be part of the list, then return their scorecards to Tom by the Oct 11
deadline.
