  • From the Factory to the Frontlines the Operation Warp Speed Strategy for Distributing a COVID-19 Vaccine
    From the Factory to the Frontlines The Operation Warp Speed Strategy for Distributing a COVID-19 Vaccine What This Strategy Aims to Do This report to Congress details a strategy to achieve the principal purpose and objective of Operation Warp Speed (OWS): ensuring that every American who wants to receive a COVID-19 vaccine can receive one, by delivering safe and effective vaccine doses to the American people beginning January 2021. The leadership of OWS has committed to being transparent with Congress, the media, and the American people. OWS has provided regular briefings on topics of interest to Congress and the media and will continue to provide updates and announcements as OWS reaches new milestones. Congress has been a vital partner in the all-of-America response to the COVID-19 pandemic. With support provided through emergency supplemental and flexible discretionary funding, OWS has now made strong progress toward a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, with multiple candidates in Phase 3 clinical trials. Simultaneously, OWS and partners are developing a plan for delivering a safe and effective product to Americans as quickly and reliably as possible. Experts from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are leading vaccine development, while experts from the Department of Defense (DoD) are partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other parts of HHS to coordinate supply, production, and distribution of vaccines. Successful implementation of the national COVID-19 vaccination program requires precise coordination across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments and among many public and private partners.

  • Clinical Audit/Quality Improvement Projects Guidance for Professional
    Clinical Audit/Quality Improvement Projects Guidance For Professional Competence Scheme Prepared by Faculty of Public Health Medicine December 2012 1 KEY POINTS ON AUDIT FOR PUBLIC HEALTH . This document is produced by the Faculty of Public Health Medicine Ireland (FPHMI) to support and guide participants of the FPHMI Professional Competence Scheme (PCS) to achieve their requirement of completing one clinical audit / quality improvement project each year. This document is a guide for doctors practising public health medicine and who are either on the Specialist or General Division of the Register . All doctors must participate in professional competence . Each doctor must define his/her scope of practice . All doctors whose practice include both clinical and non‐clinical work should engage in both clinical audit and other quality improvement practices relevant to their scope of practice . Audit can be at individual, team, departmental or national level . Each doctor must actively engage in clinical audit / systematic quality improvement activity that relates directly to their practice. ‘The Medical Council’s Framework for Maintenance of Professional Competence Activities’ sets one clinical audit per year as the minimum target. The time spent on completing the audit is accounted for separately from other Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities. It is estimated that the completion of one clinical audit will take approximately 12 hours of activity. The main challenges in undertaking audit in public health practice include o Lack of explicit criteria against which to measure audit o Timeframes for measuring outcomes which can be prolonged and thus process measures are more readily measured Can’t seem to format this box which is smaller than the text o Changing public health work programmes in Departments .

  • The High Achieving Governmental Health Department in 2020 As the Community Chief Health Strategist
    The High Achieving Governmental Health Department in 2020 as the Community Chief Health Strategist Public Health Leadership Forum This paper was prepared by RESOLVE as part of the Public Health Leadership Forum with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. John Auerbach, Director of Northeastern University’s Institute on Urban Health Research, also put substantial time and effort into authoring the document with our staff. The concepts put forth are based on several working group session (See Appendix B for members) and are not attributable to any one participant or his/her organization. May 2014 The High Achieving Governmental Health Department in 2020 as the Community Chief Health Strategist Public Health Leadership Forum Background Local and state health departments need to adapt and evolve if governmental public health is to address emerging health demands, minimize current as well as looming pitfalls, and take advantage of new and promising opportunities. To succeed requires a view into the future. This paper provides that vision. And, importantly, it zeroes in on what a high achieving public health department of the future will be doing differently. It does so not with a comprehensive inventory of tasks but rather with a distillation of the most important new skills and activities essential to be high achieving and serve in the role of the community chief health strategist. A working group of public health practitioners and policy experts was convened by RESOLVE as part of the Public Health Leadership Forum with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (See Appendix B for a list of members). The working group purposely set a time frame of public health in 2020 – just six years into the future – in order to look far enough ahead to provide a compelling beacon, while staying close enough to the present to emphasize the urgency of taking immediate steps to start the process of change and build the leadership necessary to be successful.

  • 410-396-4398 Baltimore City Health Department -White Paper- State of Health in Baltimore: Summary of Key Issues, Services and Policies Winter 2016
    Baltimore City Health Department CITY OF BALTIMORE Leana S. Wen, M.D., M.Sc. Commissioner of Health STEPHANIE RAWLINGS- 1001 E. Fayette St. BLAKE, Mayor Baltimore, MD 21202 health.baltimorecity.gov Tel: 410-396-4398 Tel: 410-396-4398 Baltimore City Health Department -White Paper- State of Health in Baltimore: Summary of Key Issues, Services and Policies Winter 2016 State of Health in Baltimore: It is impossible to discuss the health and well-being of Baltimore City’s residents without applying the lens of health equity and systemic disparities. While the overall mortality rate in Baltimore City has declined over the past decade, the City still has a mortality rate 30% higher than the rest of the state, and ranks last on key health outcomes compared to other jurisdictions in Maryland. This reality is compounded by a series of complicated systemic social, political, economic, and environmental obstacles. With more than 1 in 3 of Baltimore’s children living below the federal poverty line and more than 30% of Baltimore households earning less than $25,000/year, income, poverty, and race have enormous impact on health outcomes. This state of health is especially urgent when we consider that Baltimore houses some of the best healthcare institutions in the country. We know that healthcare alone cannot drive health: while 97% of healthcare costs are spent on medical care delivered in hospitals, only 10% of what determines life-expectancy takes place within the four walls of a clinic. Where we live, work, and play each day drives our health and well-being. As the local health authority, the Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD)’s mission is to serve Baltimore by promoting health and advocating for every individual’s well-being, in order to achieve health equity for all residents.
