So you made it through the assessment! Now what?
Just Start!
How did we start?
Myth. We used a management model to get started– Planning– Organizing – Staffing– Directing– Controlling
Fact. We made it up as we went, but in hindsight we did use a hybrid management model.
Planning
How did we plan?
1 day assessment process x 2 (Once for NACCHO, another for PHAB)
Make a part of strategic plan. SP should drive your organization. – Strategic plan = Internal
• Melt accreditation into SP • SP should never be static. They are cyclical.
– CHIP = External
Organize
How did we organize?
Developed QI Team Reformatting
assessment tool and created folders on shared drive– Date everything– Have an approval
system– Start collecting
Prioritize
How did we prioritize?
Do some simple data analysis Choose 1st what is important and timely
to your agency Don’t set yourself up to fail – choose
something that is achievable and won’t cause mutiny with your staff
Set SMART objectives You don’t have to get everything done
right away – take a long term approach
Staffing
How did we deal with staffing?
Myth: People will want to do this! Fact: You need to sell it – to everyone! Someone needs to be in charge, but no
one can do it alone. QI and Accreditation Team
– These are above and beyond duties– Monthly meetings– Praise them
No $ for this yet Would we hire someone if we had $?
Monitor Burnout!!!
How good are you with change?
Our Progress
Slowly but surely– Reviewing, modifying, developing, and “liberating”
documents, policies, and processes Starting with Domain 8: Maintain a Competent
Workforce You are not far behind at all. Honestly, you are
joining as things are making sense and are more static!
Market this (tell comm. partners, BOH, County Boards, put on website, press release, etc)
Now its time to…

Greenfield: How did we start?
New Health Officer led process Used NACCHO LHD Assessment in the
first year of WIQI– 10 essential services– 225 standards– 24 cross-cutting topic areas
Each professional staff member was assigned two essential services
Review team consisted of HO, PHN Lead, Assigned prof staff, and BOH member
Greenfield : How did we plan?
Prior review with professional staff and BOH member
Individual “homework” for each person 1 day assessment process (~ 6 hours)
– Sought mutual agreement on score– More often rated lower due to conservative
interpretation of standard
Greenfield : After the assessment
Crunched the data Developed tables and graphs to represent
results Results widely disseminated with BOH, elected
officials, department staff Sought to frame the limitations in a positive
light, focusing on future improvement and capacity building
Discussed next steps with staff; strongly alluded to next steps with BOH and elected officials
Greenfield : After the assessment
Greenfield : After the assessment
Greenfield : How did we organize
Due to small staff we integrated QI among the normal process flow
Didn’t want QI on an island Wanted QI to be part of routine process
of evaluation and improvement
Greenfield : How did we prioritize?
Low hanging fruit Targeting health improvement priorities Support mission and vision of
department Support strategic goals of department,
BOH, and City
Greenfield: Our Progress
Slowly but surely– Policy/procedure updates prior to Chapter
140 review in February 2010 Low hanging fruit Next Steps:

Progress to be difficult while facing a workforce reduction in 2011…
