2019 Annual Plan

In 2019, five Annual Planning Teams were established to address special projects or boost/expand current activities. Each team started by establishing a goal statement with measurable outcomes, a Project Lead, an Executive Sponsor, and team members who strategically include someone who will ensure documentation is maintained and someone to handle any data analysis that might be needed for the team. Each team meets monthly to assess where their efforts are and think through new opportunities to improve processes and improve the effectiveness of our programs.

The five 2019 Annual Planning Teams are:

1. Improve Pregnancy Outcomes
2. Increase Participation Rates in Obesity and Chronic Disease Prevention Programs
3. Increase Reimbursement for Services Provided in 2018 and 2019
4. Establish a More Unified Workforce
5. Increase the Number of Initiatives Reporting in InsightVision (ADPH's performance management dashboard)
