Accreditation Work Group,

The legislative session gives us the opportunity to educate policy makers
to the public health impacts of proposed legislation. Attached is a toolkit
that may be helpful for you for specific accreditation requirements related
to policy education (may be specifically helpful for 5.1.3.A and 11.2.4.A).


The toolkit describes some current proposed policies with links to get more
information, and ideas for how to get involved with policy education.


Please note, this toolkit is meant to be a guide for providing education on
the public health impacts of proposed legislation. The information provided
in this toolkit may change as bills are amended. Please read the most up to
date version of the bill.

Please let me know if you have any questions,
Erin

Subject: OHA VISTA Applications
Importance: High

Good morning,
I am attaching the application to apply for an August 2013-2014 Oregon Health Authority VISTA member. The applications are due by 5 pm on Friday, August, 26, 2013. We have changed the application due to some program changes, so please review carefully. In addition, the VISTA Assignment Description (VAD) needs to be more detailed and have a stronger tie to the VISTA anti-poverty mission. I have also attached a document, "How to Write Effective VADs". Please read that document and use as your guide. Finally, I have attached a sample VAD from Marion County that you may also want to review as another resource.

Please make sure to mark on the application whether or not you will be able to cost-share: $11, 136 for rural Oregon, or 11, 352 for metro areas for the year. Based on final CNCS approval, we hope to have 13 standard positions which will cost $ 2,500 (slight increase from last year) for the year and then at least 7 cost-share positions.  If your site can cost-share, you will have a stronger chance to be guaranteed a VISTA resource.

I will be out of the office all of this week (April 8-15). However, Alyssa Bostian (alyssa.bostian at state.or.us<mailto:alyssa.bostian at state.or.us>) will be able to answer questions in my absence. Thank you for your interest in the OHA VISTA Partnership Project, we look forward to another great service year!

 Reporting and Communications Tool-- Save the Date for Webinar on
 May 14th 10-12
Message-ID: <CAOB1EyUzWNJHyrWcAAV8-=Y8KBsknRiZFwym3_Yv=y_iEW-eCg@mail.gmail.com>

Accreditation Work Group,

CLHO's intern, Wendy Kane, has been developing a new QI Tool for Oregon
health departments-- a comprehensive "one-stop shop" QI reporting, tracking
and communications tool.

Based on background research, informational interviews, and discussions
with partners in other states, she has developed a set of tools for health
departments to use for their QI tracking and reporting, and tools for a
state-wide system (possibly online) to track and share QI project ideas,
lessons learned and data on improvement activities across the state.

This tool includes templates for:

-Developing a QI project charter,
-Logging QI projects,
-Reporting out on QI results,
-Developing a QI project storyboard,
-Calculating return on investment (ROI) for QI projects,
-Creating communication tools to use with community partners outside of
your health department.

The tools are intended not only to help health departments develop
accreditation documentation, but to also help as you develop a Continuous
Quality Improvement program that will strengthen your health department
across all your work.

We are hosting a webinar to introduce you to the draft tool, walk through a
few QI examples using the set of tools and get feedback on ways to improve
the tool.

Please save the date for the webinar on* **Tuesday, May 14th 10-12*. Agenda
and webinar information will be sent out soon.

Thank you,
Erin
