Bureau of Women’s and Children’s Health
Strategic Plan Comment Form Introduction
The
Bureau of Women’s and Children’s Health (BWCH) would like your
feedback on our Strategic Plan for 2006 - 2010.
The Plan was developed after BWCH conducted the 2005 Title V
Maternal and Child Health Block Grant Needs Assess and provides the
Bureau with direction through 2010. The
needs assessment process used to create this plan included gathering and
analyzing data on various maternal and child health issues, gathering
input from partners, setting priorities, and defining performance
measures. Factors considered in setting priorities included:
• Community perception/stakeholder input
• Size of the problem: number of people affected directly
or indirectly
• Seriousness: urgency, severity, economic loss,
potential impact on the population
• Interventions: availability and effectiveness
• Availability of resources
This
strategic plan sets direction for BWCH to take action on the new
priorities
established
through the needs assessment process. The new priorities and
strategies
in the plan were created to address three overarching goals:
• Reduce mortality and morbidity among women and children
• Eliminate health disparities in health outcomes and
access to services
• Increase access to health care
As
part of our effort to ensure that the work we do continues to be
responsive to the needs of women and children of
Arizona
, we are asking for your feedback on our strategic plan.
We are asking that you:

Healthy Tomorrow! |
