Developing the State Health Assessment

About the Assessment

The State Health Assessment (SHA) is one of three prerequisites for public health accreditation. The assessment describes the health of the population, identifies areas for improvement, contributing factors that impact health outcomes, and assets and resources that can be mobilized to improve population health.

How the Process Works

Health departments are required to participate in or lead an assessment process at least once every 5 years; Oregon is currently going through this process. The SHA will inform the next iteration of the State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP).

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 implemented over the second three phases. Get more details: SHA Overview (pdf).

Local health departments are also working to complete community health assessments.
