This guide presents a practical, stepwise approach to building a logic model and evaluation plan matrix for your public health system transformation efforts. While planning for evaluation should ideally start at the beginning, well before implementation of activities, the approach presented here can be incorporated and/or revisited at any point in your transformation journey.

The content in this guide aligns with PHAB’s Blueprint for Public Health System Transformation, and the approach and supplemental worksheets are adapted from the CDC’s Program Evaluation Framework Action Guide. An example has been woven throughout the guide to illustrate the steps in practice.

Many health sector organizations are required by their oversight or accrediting bodies to conduct regular community health needs assessments and create community or population-based health improvement plans.

Aligning health assessment and planning efforts across sectors creates a shared strategy that informs community benefit investments, population health management strategies, and cross-sector health improvement initiatives focused on social drivers of health.

This document provides general guidance for aligning assessment and planning efforts across health sector partners to increase efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and community impact.

Public health leaders are increasingly facing decisions about how to assure Foundational Public Health Services ( ) delivery and infrastructure in the context of shifting resources. By understanding both current capacity and cost, and identifying future needs, health departments can make informed decisions about allocating resources, prioritizing investments, strengthening partnerships, and communicating needs effectively to interest holders, partners, and decision-makers. There is a critical need for ongoing insight into the capacity and costs required to deliver these services effectively. The FPHS Capacity and Cost Assessment Tool offers a practical way forward.
