Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) is a strategic planning process, which prioritizes public health issues and identifies necessary resources.

Local public health systems use this interactive planning process to improve their efficiency, effectiveness, and performance (National Association of County and City Health Officials [NACCHO], 2010).

To understand the constituents of performance improvement systems in public health, it is necessary to learn more about setting targets, goals, and objectives using the MAAP framework.

Refer to the following links in addition to your module readings:

National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). (2010). Mobilizing MAPP framework.

Public Health Accreditation Board. (December 2013). Standards and measures, version 1.5.

Based on the readings for the module and the Internet resources, respond to the following:

Describe the six phases of the MAPP framework.

In helping to improve performance in a public health organization, how can this methodology be used in setting targets, goals, and objectives?

Give at least one example of how the MAPP framework can be applied to the public health organization you identified for your course project.

Write your initial response in 3-5 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
