Back to Where I Began…
Mission: Improving the capacity of the public health workforce to prepare for and respond to
terrorism and other public health threats
![Page 11: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Centers for Public Health Preparedness
The five-year CPHP Program goals are to:• Strengthen public health workforce readiness
through implementation of programs for lifelong learning;
• Strengthen capacity at State and local levels for terrorism preparedness and emergency public health response; and,
• Develop a network of academic-based programs contributing to national terrorism preparedness and emergency response by sharing expertise and resources across State and local jurisdictions.
![Page 12: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Centers for Public Health Preparedness
Key priorities for CPHP activities:• Collaborate with healthcare organizations and
public health agencies across the nation to help them meet preparedness education and learning needs;
• Maximize outreach of existing preparedness materials; and
• Enhance the evidence base for effective preparedness education.
![Page 13: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Combining Efforts and Leading Initiatives:
How do we combine what we know about the public health workforce (who they are and what they are working on), what the preparedness competencies and essential services guide us to perform, and how do we effectively train and educate the workforce as they carry out the many and varied duties of a local or state health department?

Lifelong Learning Vision
A more prepared, responsive, and knowledgeable public health workforce.

Official Definition of LLL (at least one of them!)
A lifelong learning approach for public health assumes a combination of training and educational opportunities to ensure self-directed learning, just-in-time learning, collaborative learning, informal learning, learning-on-demand, and organizational learning (Fischer, 2000).
“Lifelong Learning – More than Training” (2000)

Academic Health Department (AHD) Project
Back up 2 years
![Page 17: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Piloting Lifelong Learning
Lifelong learning grew out of a one-year Academic Health Department project that studied three approaches to academic and practice links:
–Service learning
–Lifelong learning and preparedness–Practice research
![Page 18: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
AHD Project Objectives2003
Assure access to preparedness learning opportunities for the public health workforce
Assess the public health workforce to recognize training needs Determine appropriate training plan for individuals and the organization Connect the resources of UNC SPH with the health department

Assessment Component
Another curve in the road:
Conducting an online self-assessment process through a learning management system as part of academic health department model and lifelong learning

• The system offers feedback and training options on multiple levels– Individual level
• Automatically provided by the system
– Occupational level • Addressed through reports and trainings
– Organizational level: statewide, PHRSTs, local health departments
• Addressed through reports and trainings

Connecting the Dots
Assessment data lead to training plan development
Connecting the Assessment effort, the Academic Health Department pilot, and creating the new
Lifelong Learning initiative for 2005-2006

Strategies for Lifelong Learning
• Convene and manage dialogue• Lead efforts to generate and market workforce
development plans• Adopt and/or develop system standards and
assure their use• Provide oversight in coordination for human,
technical, and operational performance• Develop partnerships and support leadership
activities among academic institutions

Preliminary Findings From Lifelong Learning Initiative
• It takes more than just offering training– It’s time for a culture change in public health– Preparedness training is everyone’s responsibility
• Basic Infrastructure needs include– Equipment (e.g. computers, headsets)
– Space – Time (establishing priorities and a culture for learning)
– Budget– Support from leadership – Access to quality training programs
![Page 32: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What Will Make LLL Happen in Local Health Departments?
• Policies
• Practices
• Expectations
• A culture that prioritizes learning
• Incentives for learning/training
• Identification of roles and responsibilities for emergencies
• Consequences for not being prepared
![Page 33: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Performance Management
Now that we have: Assessed the public health workforce Identified training priorities Provided training plans Identified resources for training Implemented training plans Initiated strategies to continue a
lifelong learning path How do we make it stick?
![Page 34: Lisa Macon Harrison](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062323/568158b1550346895dc5ff5c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Performance Management
Those agencies finding the most success so far are doing making lifelong learning a part of a performance management system – either established or new.
Performance management can include helping employees establish a development plan - and a training plan that’s appropriate to their job duties.
Performance management helps guide a process of expectation/requirement up front, and allows for better documentation of learning progress.

Preliminary Findings From Lifelong Learning
And you will hear much more from local public health departments for the rest of today… Stay tuned about what works, what needs more work, and what new ideas come about
