Background: Oregon’s State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) identifies interventions and strategies to address health related priorities in our state. The SHIP serves as a basis for taking collective action with cross-sector partners to improve heath in our state. The SHIP will be based off of findings from the State Health Assessment.
- Health departments are required to develop and implement a health improvement plan at least once every five years.
- The Public Health Division will use the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) framework, widely used by CCOs and local health departments. The MAPP framework uses six phases. The SHA is developed over the first three phases, while the SHIP is developed and implemented over the second three phases.
- Information about the PartnerSHIP can be found at healthoregon.org/2020ship.
- The current State Health Improvement Plan identifies seven priorities related to tobacco use, obesity, oral health, immunizations, suicide, communicable disease, and substance use. The current plan will complete December of 2019.
