Strategic Planning and Organizational Health Development
In
an effort to respond to the near forty-three million people in
the United States who are uninsured, the Bureau of Primary Health
Care (BPHC), of the Health Services and Resources Administration
(HRSA), launched a Campaign to increase access to primary health
care and reduce disparities in the neediest communities across
the country. My work on the Campaign for "100% Access and
0 Disparities" continues to evolve. The main dimensions of
this Campaign include: state and community based partnerships,
the application of health status information, promoting community
based safety net core services, community systems change and promoting
and utilizing primary care as a magnet service for improving access
and decreasing disparities. More information on the Campaign can
be found at the Bureau
of Primary Health Care's Camaign website.
My
work on the Campaign has involved the following states: Texas,
Missouri,
Tennessee,
Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Colorado,
North Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska.
Just
as every state and community (and it's people) are different,
so are your goals, objectives and expectations. Also, each
Campaign partner has varying experience, expertise, capacity and
needs. This impacts on the type and level of technical assistance
you and your organization need, want or desire.
