CHA/CHIP Turns Data Into Choices
Describe how CHA/CHIP and MAPP turn community evidence into a prioritized improvement plan.
A strong assessment narrows, not just describes. Data Use surveillance, local indicators, service use, and lived experience to describe burden and assets. The question is not "what do we know?" but "what evidence should shape a public choice?" Criteria Prioritize with explicit criteria: severity, inequity, trend, preventability, community readiness, partner capacity, and policy leverage. Hidden criteria create distrust because people cannot tell why one issue moved forward. Plan A CHIP needs strategy, owner, measure, and review cadence. Without those four, the plan is a wish list with better formatting.
