Guiding Principles1. NEED
Importance of data and information to inform decision-making at the local level
Need is established by assessing the distribution of determinants of health, health status and incidence of disease and injury
Highlights minimizing barriers to accessing services and to fostering partnerships
![Page 5: OPHS Foundational Standard](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062322/568146d9550346895db40e80/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Guiding Principles 2. IMPACT
Assessment, planning, delivery and management of public health programs must consider:• Evidence of the effectiveness of the intervention• Whether interventions are compatible with the scope
of programming for boards of health• Barriers to accessing maximum health potential and
narrowing inequities in health• Performance measures to assess the impact and
effectiveness of programs and services• Need to further assess unintended consequences to
improve understanding of program and services or the context
