4 CHALLENGES TO LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH NACCHO reports 23,000 local public health jobs lost nationwide between 1/08 and 12/09. 49% of MA Boards of Health received cuts in 2009; 36% lost staff. 70% of MA towns reported inadequate staffing to meet basic legal responsibilities (2006 survey). Of the 105 towns with fewer than 5,000 residents, most have no full-time public health staff, health inspector, or public health nurse. Major cuts to DPH result in reduced technical assistance to local public health. 7 CHALLENGES TO LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH Local Public Health often lacks resources for: Reporting on infectious disease cases Enforcing environmental health regulations Meeting food inspection requirements Balancing emergency preparedness planning and pandemic response with other work Preventing chronic and infectious disease Addressing health disparities Continued 8 4
5 WORKING GROUP GOAL To strengthen the Massachusetts public health system by creating a sustainable, regional system for equitable delivery of local public health services across the Commonwealth. 9 WHAT IS REGIONALIZATION OF LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH?

6 BENEFITS Consistency and equity in services provided. Access to a broader range of services and expertise than available in each individual health department.

16 FIRST INITIATIVE OF THE MA PRACTICE BASED RESEARCH NETWORK Call for proposals in October groups of pilot communities selected Pilot communities are expected to: Demonstrate interest in exploring the feasibility of regionalization Participate in evaluation of the process Develop recommendations and guidelines 31 PILOT SITES FOR REGIONAL PLANNING FOR PUBLIC HEALTH 3 groups 20 municipalities 32 16
17 Addressing Common Concerns about Regionalization Geoff Wilkinson, Senior Policy Advisor Massachusetts Department of Public Health 33 CONCERN 1 What works in one part of the state or for one set of communities won t work for all communities
18 THE REALITY One size does not fit all; different models allow communities to cluster in ways that meet their needs. Few communities face unique public health needs. Concentrate on sameness not differences. Regional needs may vary; neighboring communities best positioned to solve problems together. 35 POSSIBLE MODELS Comprehensive Services District: Formal agreement that all local public health services for two or more municipalities are carried out by one set of employees
19 POSSIBLE MODELS Continued Shared Services District: Formal agreement among two or more municipal boards of health to share some staff (e.g., public health nurse, animal control personnel, epidemiologist, health or environmental inspector) and/or services (e.g., mosquito control, immunizations, tobacco control, emergency preparedness, inspections, investigations). 37 CONCERN 2 When multiple communities share public health services, my town will lose control over public health decision-making and/or resources
20 THE REALITY General law allows for shared services across communities. It is possible to plan for shared services while maintaining local BOHs it s happening now. Regardless of the model, governance and legal policy making authority may be retained by municipal Boards of Health. Option to delegate authority to a District Board 39 CONCERN 3 My community will be forced to regionalize
21 THE REALITY Regionalization Working Group has always promoted core principle that communities need incentives not mandates to participate. The Lt. Governor s Regionalization Advisory Committee (RAC) recommends voluntary regionalization of municipal services. All RAC subcommittees are recommending incentives for regionalization. 41 THE REALITY Continued The Lt. Governor s Regionalization Advisory Committee endorsed an the Working Group s incentive formula to promote public health regionalization
22 CONCERN 4 Regionalization is being driven by economic factors to cut costs without regard for quality of services. 43 THE REALITY Financial pressures may drive planning. State funding needed for optimal progress; positive results possible using existing resources. We are being forced into the future regionalization is becoming necessary across a range of municipal services. Inclusive planning requires good working relationships in advance between municipal leaders and local public health officials
23 WORKING GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE REGIONAL PLANNING Capitalize on retirements and staff vacancies. Ensure that municipal leaders view local public health as a core part of government. Engage municipal leaders, health directors and Board of Health members in planning from the beginning. 45 Recommended Steps to Regional Coordination & Technical Assistance Sandra Martin, Health Agent, Town of Egremont and Emergency Planner, Berkshire County Boards of Health Association Jack Vondras, Director of Public Health, Gloucester Health Department 46 23
24 REMINDER: WHY ARE WE EXPLORING REGIONALIZATION? Improve our delivery of mandated/needed services Ensure better health outcomes Leverage our resources 47 ESSENTIALS FOR REGIONAL COORDINATION 1. Legal Agreement with enough towns 2. Regional Oversight/Governing Council 3. Fiscal Agent 48 24
25 BRING TO THE TABLE LBOH members Health Department/LBOH Staff/Agents Town/City Administrators Chief Elected Officials/Managers Fiscal Agent Technical Assistance as needed 49 RECOMMENDED STEPS TO REGIONAL COORDINATION 1. Assessment - Wants and needs - Resources, including taxes, fees, and seed money 2. Policy - Priorities - Strategies - Fiscal - Legal Structure - Agreements 3. Assurance - Education and buy-in with community - Implementation and quality assurance 50 25
26 ASSESSMENT HOMEWORK What would your town/city like to achieve? Access to grants Better disease reporting and follow up Better health outcomes Shared inspectors Coordinated fees and standards Access to shared services like bacteria lab for beach/pool testing, rabies/animal control, hoarding response, tobacco control 51 POLICY HOMEWORK What model do you think would work for your town? Shared Grants Wellness, Drug Prevention, Tobacco, others. Shared services - Public Health Nurse, Solid Waste Management, Animal Control, others. Shared staff Pool inspector, temporary food inspector, housing inspector, body art inspector, tanning salon inspector, camp inspector, others. Shared Health Department 52 26
27 ASSURANCE HOMEWORK What are your questions/concerns? Will it cost my town/city money? Will my LBOH lose authority? Will we lose capacity/services/jobs? Will it be too hard to implement? Who will do all this work? Will there be grant money? What happens when we lose the grants? How do we start? 53 FINAL STEPS Legal Structure: Chapter 40 Inter-Municipal service agreements by Selectmen/Mayors/Managers Chapter 111 Authorization by Town Meeting/City Council and Board of Health Partnerships with other agencies/organizations Budgets Seed money Grants Partnerships to leverage resources Implementation 54 27
