PHAB NATIONAL VOLUNTARY PUBLIC HEALTH ACCREDITATION AND STRATEGIC PLANNING
PHAB Standards• The Public Health Accreditation Board
(PHAB) Standards and Measures document serves as the official standards, measures, required documentation, and guidance blueprint for PHAB National Public Health Department accreditation. These written guidelines are considered authoritative and are in effect for the application period indicated on the cover page (2011-2012).

Domain 5: Develop Public Health Policies and Plans• Focuses on the development of public health policies and plans. • Written policies and plans serve as tools to guide the health
department’s work and bring structure and organization to the department. • Written policies and plans provide a resource to health department
staff as well as the public. • Policies and plans help to orient and train staff, inform the public and
partners, and serve as a key component of developing consistency in operations and noting areas for improvement. Policies and plans can be a vehicle for community engagement and shared responsibility for addressing population health improvement.
• Policies that are not public health specific may also impact the public’s health.
• Policy makers should be informed of the potential public health impact of policies that they are considering or that are already in place. Policy makers and the public should have sound, science-based, current public health information when policies are being considered or adopted.

PREPARING TO CONDUCT A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
How is strategic planning in public health different from non-profit or for profit organizations?
• Mission• Equity• Mandates• Accountability
What is strategic planning?• Where you want to be:– One year from now– Three years from now– Five years from now
• Answers fundamental questions– Why you exist – What your major goals are– What resources you need to be
successful in the future– Who you want your customers to be
Why Do We Do Strategic Planning?• Rapidly changing external environment• Future-oriented• Looks at the long term• Enables continuous planning……• Benefits include: – Performance –Growth–Communication
Challenges of Strategic Planning• It DOES require a different way of thinking – not
always comfortable
• It DOES take time
• You CAN write a bad strategic plan
• It CAN be difficult to implement your plan– Leadership – Staff– Resources– Too many priorities
ORGANIZING YOUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
Who Will Be Involved? • Who will be involved?
– Input from the right people
– People who are interested
– People who are committed to the process
– No conflict of interest– People who will not derail
the process
• How will you involve all staff?

Strategic Planning Checklist
ASSESSING YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Kick-Off Meeting: A Time for Reflection • Brief history of your organization with a timeline
of significant events. • Mission statement, vision statement and core
values.– Does it provide overall direction?– Does it convey an image of success?– Does it clearly define your organization/what you
do?– Is it written to define the population you serve?– Is it broad enough to enable you to grow?
• Review overall process.• Enables the planning group to ‘level-set’ and
move forward from the same place together.
Preparing For Your SWOT/SOAR• Data-driven and evidence-based process.
• Directly informs your results – the conclusions you draw – the critical issues you identify.
• Identify data/information can you provide to your planning team– Internal environment (Internal Mandates, other
doc)– External environment (NPHPSP/CHA)
• Create new data– Internal key informant interviews– External key informant interviews– Customer surveys
SWOT AnalysisStrengths/Weaknesses (Internal)
• Scope: Looking internally at the agency
• Goal: To identify most significant issues
• Evidence-based• Identify all issues• Determine final list • List will be used to develop
strategic objectives
Opportunities/Threats (External)• Scope: Looking external to the
agency• Goal: To identify most
significant issues• Consider customers, social
trends, political environment, partnerships, competition, etc.
• Evidence-based • Identify all issues• Determine final list• List will be used to develop
strategic objectives QI Tools: Brainstorming, Affinity Diagram, Voting, Consensus
Revisiting Your Mission Statement
• With draft critical issues in hand, compare SWOT results with mission statement– Do the issues you selected fit?– Is your Mission Statement still
right?– Do you need to revise it?– Should it be broader or more
narrow?

DEVELOPING YOUR WRITTEN PLAN
Strategic Planning (short/long term)
Action Plan
Translating Critical Issues Into a Plan• Consider:
– Resources will impact what you can do – Management establishes strategic objectives – Front line staff carry out the activities
• As you write Strategic Objectives and Goals use a checklist:– Supports the Mission Statement, Vision and Core
Values– Realistic and achievable– Acceptable to those who have to implement them– Not too rigid, allow for flexibility in a changing
environment– Specific enough to be measurable– Written concisely and are understandable
IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN
Moving From Strategic Planning to Strategic Management • Implementation– Approval – Finalize ‘First Year
Action Plan’ (action, who is responsible, completion date, resources required, how it will be evaluated)
– Determine/align resources needed
Implementing the Plan• Measurement
– Be sure there is a plan to measure– Evaluate if measurement is working
• Monitoring/Evaluation (monthly/quarterly)– How much progress has been made?– What is keeping us from accomplishing this? – Should the strategic objective be revised?– What changes should be made to the Action Plan?– Annually, strategic planning group reviews entire
planQI Tools: 5-WHY, Fishbone
Communication Plan• How and when will you involve staff in the
planning process?• How will you vet your plan across the
agency?• How will you gain staff buy-in to carry out
the plan?• How will you update staff on progress and
accomplishments? • What partners need to know about your
plan?• How will you make your plan readily visible?
REVIEWING STRATEGIC PLANS
Strategic Plan
Reviewing Strategic Plans• Using the plans at your table and the
checklist provided:– Briefly review the plan– Identify recorder/reporter– Discuss what you note about it/why
important– Is anything missing?–What is helpful?
• Report out and share findings
