A national team of visitors from the MLC3:Lead States in Public Health Quality Improvement initiative met with eight local health department (LHD) project partners and Wisconsin Division of Public Health (WDPH) leaders in Madison on March 4. It was a highly interactive and positive day! New Division of Public Health Administrator, Seth Foldy, Deputy Administrator, Tom Sieger and all WDPH bureau directors were in attendance. WDPH Regional Office Pilot
One highlight was an overview given by Lieske Giese and Kate Konkle of WDPH on the progress the WDPH regional offices have made in assessment based on the essential services framework. The national team noted that while systems vary greatly nationwide, most states have some sort of regional framework for public health service. They encouraged us to share the assessment tools that the regional offices have developed and piloted. So, for our national colleagues, and for people within Wisconsin that want to see how WDPH is approaching quality improvement, here are the most recent versions of the state assessment tools.
