COMMON LANGUAGE
Every discipline, including public health, has its own jargon and definitions; even common words or phrases can have different meaning for people. Establishing common language for this process is crucial for allowing effective communication and collaboration in the development of CHIP.
AREA OF FOCUS GOAL
An area of focus is a priority that has been identified as a community health concern that takes precedence over other concerns identified in the Community Health Assessment (CHA) process. The Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) Steering Committee will identify three areas of focus for this CHIP cycle. These areas of focus will be prioritized for resource allocation.
OBJECTIVE
An objective is a clear, measurable, specific action that needs to be achieved within a specific time frame to achieve a goal. The Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) requires SMART objectives, defined below:
Specific – specify what is to be achieved, by how much, and by when
Measurable – make sure that the objective can be measured (i.e., data is or will be available to measure progress)
Achievable - set objectives that are feasible for the agency
Relevant - align objectives with the mission and vision of the agency
Time-oriented - establish a timeframe for achieving the objective
A goal is a broad statement of the desired outcome or result to be accomplished by the end of this CHIP cycle.
ACTION ITEM
An action item is a discrete task, event, or activity that must be accomplished, usually by a single individual or a small group or team in order to fulfill an objective.
Example:
Area of Focus: Alcohol Misuse
Goal: Prevent and reduce alcohol misuse among youth and adults in the West Allis and West Milwaukee communities.
Objective: By December 31, 2023, implement at least five initiatives directed at adults to raise awareness of alcohol serving sizes and binge drinking.
Action Item: The West Allis-West Milwaukee Community Coalition will be the lead agency on developing one public service announcement on binge drinking in adults
01
COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN
A Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) is an ongoing effort, typically updated every three to five years, to address public health issues based on the results of a Community Health Assessment (CHA). This plan is used by the health department in collaboration with community partners to set priorities and coordinate resources. With the completion of the Community Health Assessment, the community continued with the MAPP Framework (see page 3) to facilitate the development of the CHIP. The first phase of the CHIP was to determine the top health issues for the West Allis and West Milwaukee community and set in a motion a process of establishing objectives for the community to meet by 2027.
A core internal steering committee met to review the CHA, followed by two convenings of an external steering committee. This larger group consisted of key community leaders and stakeholders in addition to interested community members. Expectations of the steering committee included:
Provide expert and community input on concerns and issues related to our community's health
Set the strategic direction of CHIP and areas of focus
Establish goals, outcomes, and how success will be measured
Act as an advocate for initiatives and goals established in CHIP
Take ownership of workplans, monitor projects, and adjust accordingly to ensure sustainable change
The City of West Allis Health Department serves as chief health strategist, driving CHIP collective action forward through strategic planning and facilitation efforts. In this role, the health department will explicitly address "upstream" social determinants of health in line with the Public Health 3.0 Framework

MAPP PROCESS
This CHA and CHIP process utilizes the Mobilizing For Action through Planning and Partnerships Process (MAPP) as a planning framework. This community-driven strategic planning process helps to apply strategic thinking to prioritize public health issues and identify resources to address them.
Through all phases of this CHIP, the West Allis Health Department and key partners are dedicated to:
Engaging community members throughout the process
Including local public health system representatives throughout the process
Addressing social determinants of health and equity
Using quality improvement or quality planning techniques
Leveraging local and state resources
The MAPP Process has six phases for the CHA/CHIP:
Organize for Success & Partnership Development
The CHA process consisted of organizing and engaging partners to collect and analyze comprehensive data about our West Allis and West Milwaukee communities.
Visioning
After the organization phase is completed, a collaborative process is used to establish a shared community vision.
The Four Assessments
Following planning efforts, qualitative and quantitative data is collected and compiled from surveys, focus groups, and local/publicly available data sources. CHA assessment data was published in September 2022.
Identify Strategic Issues
Using this data, a CHIP steering committee meeting made up of key partners, stakeholders, West Allis Health Department staff, and community members was held in October 2022 to identify and prioritize the top 3 areas of focus for the 2023-2027 CHIP cycle. During this step, the issues were identified by exploring the CHA data and undergoing the MAPP Process.
Formulate Goals and Strategies
Once the areas of focus were identified by the steering committee, participants were asked to identify and formulate goals, objectives, and strategies related to those issues.
Action Cycle
This phase helps the community partners and members put strategies into action, to ensure sustainable improvement and change.

ALIGNMENT WITH THE WISCONSIN STATE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN (SHIP)
The West Allis and West Milwaukee 2023-2027 CHIP is grounded in community voice, Public Health 3.0, and guidance from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. This CHIP cycle will have a focus on community conditions and systems, aligning with the State Health Improvement Plan. Our evolved CHIP framework is rooted in the values of improving health for all by empowering all people to take responsibility for their health and for making informed health decisions, emphasizing health education, ensuring accessible and quality care, sustaining partnerships and maintaining community collaboration, developing policy with an equity lens, and taking steps to address avoidable inequities and promote health for all.
This framework, based on the SHIP, emphasizes the importance of upstream and downstream thinking working in tandem. An upstream approach focuses on system, policy, economic, and social change, whereas a downstream approach focuses on improving health outcomes and behaviors. By working in collaboration with community partners, our priority goal for this process is to ensure that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to live their best life.

Based on Wisconsin State Health Improvement Plan
HEALTH EQUITY
The CHIP intentionally integrates equity into all planning efforts. Using a health equity lens is a systematic method of finding ways to improve health for all, embed health equity in decision making, and reduce health disparities in our West Allis and West Milwaukee communities.
The term 'equity' refers to fairness and justice, whereas 'equality' means providing the same to all. Equity means recognizing that we all have access to different opportunities and resources. Equality means that everyone is given the same resources, regardless of their circumstances. Striving to achieve equity requires making adjustments to imbalances.
EQUALITY EQUITY DOESNOTMEAN
Social determinants of health are conditions under which people live, learn, work, and grow. These social, environmental, and economic factors strongly influence health outcomes and quality of life. Some examples include, but are not limited to: access to medical care, safe housing, education, and access to nutritious foods.
Health equity is achieved when every person has the opportunity to attain their full health potential and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this because social/societal circumstances. Health inequities are caused by the uneven distribution of social determinants of health.
This model from the National Academies of Medicine on creating community-driven solution shows how central health equity is to improving community health. Community-driven solutions target key social determinants of health and foster cross-collaboration in planning and actions.

CHIP STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING PRIORITIZATION OF AREAS OF FOCUS
The West Allis and West Milwaukee CHIP Steering Committee met October 3rd, 2022. After a small group discussion of the top 6 community-identified areas of focus and a deep dive into the CHA data, the steering committee utilized dot voting to identify the top areas of focus for the 2023-2027 CHIP cycle. Each steering committee member was given 3 dots to place on the 3 issues they felt required the most attention in the next 5 years.
Dot Voting Results
Mental Health: 31 votes
Violence & Community Safety: 25 votes
Substance Use: 21 votes
Chronic Disease: 10 votes
Obesity: 7 votes
Alcohol Misuse: 5 votes
Large group discussion of the dot voting results consisted of a general consensus that the top 3 areas of focus felt representative of the need indicated by the data and from stakeholder's experience in the community. However, the top 3 were deemed to be too broad and interconnected. Further discussion narrowed down to the following areas of focus:
BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITY SAFETY & VIOLENCE PREVENTION SUBSTANCE USE

ADDITIONAL HEALTH ISSUES
While three areas of focus have been prioritized for resource allocation, other key issues impacting the community were identified at the CHIP Steering Committee meetings through data collection and will require continued community attention and effort. These issues include:
Obesity
Chronic conditions
Communicable disease
Environmental health
Age-related health concerns
Physical inactivity and healthy lifestyles
Racism/discrimination
Several of these issues have been linked to the newly selected CHIP areas of focus and will be incorporated in efforts to address their root causes and related social determinants of health. It is critical that community partners continue to pursue opportunities to address these issues at the individual, community, and systems level in order to improve the health of the residents of West Allis and West Milwaukee.
Thank you to the local, state, and national organizations that are actively working together to improve the health of all.
