Data will be collected from 165 staff within state (51), local (95), tribal (14), and territorial (5) health departments that are acting in their official capacities working on performance improvement within their organization that attended the Public Health Improvement Training (PHIT) in Atlanta on April 24-25th, 2014.
This respondent universe depends on the work functions rather than specific job title to broadly encompass all personnel in health departments engaged in these efforts. The functions include:
Coordinating efforts to prepare and apply for national voluntary accreditation
Leading state or community health assessment and improvement planning processes
Developing an agency strategic plan
Implementing agency-wide performance management systems
Engaging in QI to gain process efficiencies or improve health outcomes
Selecting and implementing evidence-based public health strategies to address health priorities outlined in a state or community health improvement plan
Common titles of respondents include, but are not limited to: accreditation coordinator, performance improvement manager, program manager, program coordinator, health planner, Health Assessment and Improvement Coordinator, quality improvement coordinator/manager.
Assessing PHIT 2014 participants aims to capture information in two ways:
assesses gains in knowledge, skills and actions 6-8 months post-PHIT
informs a participant driven agenda for PHIT in 2015
Through online data collection tool software (Qualtrics), we seek to invite the 165 participants to participate in the assessment by email, providing them at least two weeks to complete. The data collection tool was developed by NNPHI in partnership with CDC.
An email invitation to participate in the online assessment will be emailed to the 165 contacts described above. (see I_Notification Email) Email recipients will be invited to complete the assessment by clicking on a provided link that will open the assessment in a web browser in an easy to use form. Information respondents submit loads directly into a database that can be exported into MS Excel or an automatic report in MS Word. At the end of the assessment, there is an optional question where respondents can provide their name and contact information if they would be willing to share more input later on. If respondents do provide their identifying information, NNPHI lists it in aggregate form in the report shared only with CDC.
The data collection tool will be open for 10 business days to allow ample time for respondents to complete the assessment. A reminder email (see J_ Reminder Email) will be sent out on Day 7 for non-respondents.
We will notify respondents through email and send a reminder email (see J_Reminder Email) as noted above. If the response rate is less than 25% we will extend the deadline to participate in the assessment to three additional days.
The data collection instrument was pilot tested by five public health professionals. Feedback from this group was used to refine questions as needed, ensure accurate programming and skip patterns and establish the estimated time required to complete the data collection instrument.
