BPI PROJECTS TYPICALLY HAVE A PLANNING PHASE, AN IMPROVEMENT PHASE, AND AN IMPLEMENTATION PHASE. DPHSS, THE GOVERNOR OF GUAM, AND ASTHO HAVE ALREADY STARTED THE FOUNDATION FOR SEVERAL PLANNING PHASE ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING IDENTIFYING THE PRIORITY FOCUS AREAS RECRUITMENT, RETENTION, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL HUMAN RESOURCES FUNCTIONS. THIS PROPOSAL FOCUSES ON THESE PLANNING PRIORITIES, CONDUCTING FEASIBLE IMPROVEMENT PHASE ACTIVITIES IN 2024-2026, AND ANTICIPATES MOVING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING PHASE IN LATE 2026 THROUGH EARLY 2027. WHILE FOSTERING A CULTURE OF CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT IMPLIES THAT THE PLANNING, IMPROVING, AND IMPLEMENTING CYCLES WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY, ASTHO PROPOSES THAT AN INTENSE CROSS-AGENCY AND GOVERNORS OFFICE COMMITMENT TO THE IMPROVEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION PHASES FROM 2024-2026 WILL LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR SUSTAINABLE, LONGER-TERM SUCCESS. BUILDING ON THE SMALL PURCHASES PROCUREMENT BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT SUCCESSES AND LESSONS LEARNED, ASTHO WILL WORK WITH DPHSS STAFF AND CROSS-AGENCY LEADERS TO MORE DEEPLY AND SUSTAINABLY INVEST IN CHANGE LEADERS WHO CAN DETERMINE A SHARED PRIORITY FOR IMPROVEMENT, GATHER DATA TO INFORM AND MONITOR PROGRESS, AND ENGAGE STAFF-LEVEL CHAMPIONS WHO CAN INFORM AND TEST CHANGE EFFORTS

PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENT - INTER-GOVERNMENTAL COLLABORATION WITH SYSTEMS PARTNERS ON KEY BUSINESS PROCESSES TO STREAMLINE PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES

SINCE 2016, THE ASSOCIATION OF STATE & TERRITORIAL HEALTH OFFICIALS (ASTHO) HAS ENGAGED WITH THE GUAM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES (DPHSS) TO CONDUCT STRATEGIC PLANNING AND BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITIES.

HOWEVER, CHANGES IN GUBERNATORIAL AND DPHSS LEADERSHIP HAVE NOW BROUGHT ABOUT RENEWED INTEREST IN ENGAGING TOP EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES IN THESE EFFORTS TO EFFECT REAL AND LASTING CHANGE. RECENT CROSS-AGENCY DISCUSSIONS AND KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS HAVE VALIDATED THAT GUAM IS READY TO IMPROVE KEY BUSINESS PROCESSES. ASTHO AND GOVGUAM STAFF IDENTIFIED OPPORTUNITIES, READINESS, AND COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS LONG STANDING CHALLENGES WITH BUSINESS PROCESSES ACROSS GOVGUAM TO EFFICIENTLY RECRUIT, ONBOARD, AND PROCURE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO SUPPORT HEALTH IMPROVEMENT. DPHSS LEADERSHIP AND THE GOVERNOR SPECIFICALLY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN APPROACHES ASTHO IS FACILITATING IN THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS, WORKING WITH PROGRAMMATIC AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES TO EFFECT CHANGE.THIS REQUEST FOR $500,000 IS TO SUPPORT WORK FROM AUGUST 1, 2022 - JULY 31, 2023, AND SPECIFICALLY BUILDS ON TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND AN ASSESSMENT ASTHO CONDUCTED VIRTUALLY AND IN GUAM FROM DECEMBER 2021 THROUGH MARCH 2022 TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSES AND READINESS FOR A CROSS-AGENCY INTENSIVE PROCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT GUAM DPHSS' CENTRALIZED GRANTS MANAGEMENT OFFICE. THESE ACTIVITIES ALSO BUILD CAPACITY FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINABILITY OF IMPROVEMENTS. THIS FUNDING WILL ALLOW ASTHO TO ENGAGE KEY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, BUREAU OF BUDGET MANAGEMENT AND RESEARCH, DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES, AND THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR IN IMPROVING PROCUREMENT AND RECRUITMENT PROCESSES THROUGHOUT GOVGUAM.
