Succession Planning in Public Health

Presenters:
Melissa Howell, RN, RS - Greene County Public Health
Ashley Steveley, MPH - Greene County Public Health

By the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
1. Discuss common challenges and exchange success stories regarding succession planning of key public health positions

Summary:
Public Health leaders face increased level of retirements. Reports indicate an estimated 10,000 Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964 will turn 65 every day in the United States until 2030. Succession planning is a quality improvement plan that aims to maintain operational continuity by minimizing gaps in vacancies, mitigating risk associated with loss of key knowledge and expertise, and ensuring organizational needs are met during periods of transition. Key positions within the organization can be scored for mission critical function and risk to the agency if the position turns over. Planning for ongoing transitional periods aids the transfer of institutional knowledge, reduces cost and ensures an organization will comply with standards to maintain a competent workforce.

The New Essential Public Health Services Framework: Implications for Board of Health

Presenters:
Jessica Fisher, MCP - Public Health National Center for Innovations (at PHAB)
Katie Sellers - deBaeumont Foundation
Paul Kuehnert - Public Health Accreditation Board

By the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
1. Identify the changes in the Essential Public Health Services Framework.
2. Relate the elements of the new EPHS framework to the functions of board of health.
3. Discuss ways that board of health members can use the new EPHS framework in their positions on their board of health

Summary:
From the aftermath of September 11 to the emergence of new threats, and from chronic and communicable diseases to climate change, the world has changed, and public health practice has adapted to keep pace. The 10 Essential Public Health Services framework was developed in 1994 by a federal working group. It has served as the description of the activities that local public health systems should undertake in all communities. Organized around the three core functions of public health assessment, policy development, and assurance the colorful, circular framework is a familiar graphic in the public health field. Health departments and community partners around the nation organize their work around the Essential Public Health Services framework, schools and programs of public health teach it, and the framework informs descriptions and definitions of practice. PHNCI at PHAB is partnering with the de Beaumont Foundation to review and revise the 10 Essential Public Health Services. The Futures Initiative is aimed at bringing the Essential Public Health Services national framework in line with current and future public health practice. This new effort will engage the public health community in activities to collect information and build consensus for an updated 10 EPHS framework that reflects current and future public health practice needs. The finalized framework will be launched during the PHNCI Innovation Summit & Showcase in June 2020. This session will provide NALBOH participants with the information about the new framework and its implications for their roles in governing public health across the country.
