During the new strategic planning cycle (2016-2020), the leadership team will adhere to this same practice, this time with eight SMART goals from the new strategic plan to be monitored every month during this time frame.Starting 8/4: COVID-19 tests will be limit to 4 per household It also allowed the leadership team to keep the strategic plan a living document by regularly tracking progress toward meeting goals and documenting this progress in meeting minutes, just as PHAB Domain compliance is assured and documented in the same meeting minutes. In fact, all of MCHD’s agency documents that we write and structure according to PHAB standards, such as our Community Health Assessment and our Community Health Improvement Plan, are better, more usable, and more readable documents than they would be otherwise. This practice augmented and reinforced the structure and ease of tracking deliverables in the strategic plan that the PHAB standards require. For instance, the branch chiefs and director reviewed the six SMART planning goals that came out of the previous planning cycle (2010-2015) at every monthly meeting. We have found that a monthly review process can have more than one application.
We are currently in the process of gathering documentation and placing it in the appropriate folder to meet the new Version 1.5 PHAB standards. By doing this, all of the documentation requirements are fresh on everyone’s minds and there are no last-minute surprises as to what we need to demonstrate in our reaccreditation review in 2019. For example, Domain 1 is reviewed in January while Domain 12 will be reviewed in December. Our branch chiefs are all aware of which Domains they are responsible for and which month they will be reviewing their Domain with the team. Presently, one Domain is reviewed each month during our branch chief’s meeting, which is attended by senior leaders at MCHD. After becoming accredited, we changed that habit. Before becoming accredited, we did not review these Domains monthly to verify that we had adequate documentation to demonstrate all measures. We began with the organization of folders via our company intranet and the documentation assignments within the 12 Domains. Accreditation was a new goal to reach for health departments and we basically started our preparation work from scratch. The Madison County Health Department (MCHD) began its accreditation preparation work many years prior to becoming a nationally accredited public health department. As we reflect back on our accreditation journey, we ask ourselves – “What is the Madison County Health Department doing differently today as a result of going through accreditation?” Our answer - Monthly Domain and Strategic Planning “SMART” Goal (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound) Reviews. Our team is very proud of this accomplishment, as many hands were involved in our health department receiving this prestigious recognition. It was on that day that the health department was awarded national accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board. Jwas a very special day for the Madison County Health Department in Richmond, Kentucky.
