Community Engagement and Health Improvement Planning Processes
Summary
By March 1, 2011, the Logan County Health Department aimed to improve community engagement and health improvement planning processes. The initiative was determined by the health improvement team. Initially, the team recruited coalition members to assist in the completion of Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) assessments.
The coalition team implemented the MAPP assessments during community meetings and via online surveys. At the various meetings, health department staff also distributed effectiveness surveys to participants to evaluate meeting processes. Three MAPP assessments were completed. Data were collected from meeting effectiveness surveys. The original score of 40% of attendees being “engaged to a great extent” was raised to a final score of 65.6%. The completed strategic plan for the Logan County Health Department was submitted.
