Population Health Mobilization: A Regional Strategy - June 1999
Appendix E: Mobilization Strategy Work Plan
Objective
To document what regions have learned and accomplished
in mobilizing a population health approach.
To use the knowledge gained through the mobilization strategy to inform the theory and practice of population health internally and externally.
Approach
Regional offices of the Health Promotion and Programs
Branch will highlight what they are learning and contributing to the Branch's
population health approach by documenting and analysing case studies drawn
from each of HPPB's six regional offices. Each region will select one
key initiative that addresses the following priorities that have been
identified for mobilization:
Increase the focus on the broader determinants of health such as income and social status, employment, social environment and health services;
-
Give priority to initiatives which involve a range of sectors in developing healthy public policy; and
-
Generate a variety of evidence which can inform our processes and strategies for influencing healthy public policy, and support the development of future programs and initiatives.
Although the initiatives will be diverse, a common analytical framework and reporting tools will be used by each region. The framework and tools will reflect the approaches, activities and priorities that are described in the document Population Health Mobilization: A Regional Strategy.
Regions will submit reports on a yearly basis. A national synthesis document will be prepared each year. In addition, other strategies will be developed to disseminate the learnings from these initiatives.
The work plan is broken down into the following four components:
-
The development of the analytical framework and data gathering process
-
Implementation of the mobilization initiatives in each region
-
Analysis of the data and production of yearly summary documents
-
A plan for dissemination and marketing of the findings.
The table below summarizes the work to be done on the first three components. The dissemination and marketing plan will be developed at a later stage.
