Aligning Our Efforts Through Our State Health Improvement Plan

Let’s Get Healthy California has been adopted by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) as both our state health assessment and improvement plan. The Let’s Get Healthy California efforts have systematically collected, prioritized, and shared information that includes a comprehensive message, framework, and dashboard for measuring progress towards becoming the healthiest state in the nation. This crosscutting and comprehensive framework aligns multiple efforts across sectors, including; the State Health Care Innovation Plan, the Office of Health Equity’s Portrait of Promise, California Wellness Plan, and Department of Health Care Services Strategy for Quality Improvement in Health Care.

Two Strategies: The Let’s Get Healthy California framework is guided by two over-arching questions; “What will it look like if California is the healthiest state in the nation?”, and “What will it take for California to be the healthiest state in the nation?” These guiding questions formed two strategies, Health Across the Lifespan which focuses on population health improvement and Pathways to Health which focuses on systems improvements.

Targets: Let’s Get Healthy California established ten-year targets that are informed by both California and national data. In many cases, California’s current baseline is the same as or exceeds the national baseline, and in some instances already exceeds national 2020 targets for improvement. Let’s Get Healthy California’s ten-year targets aim to promote health equity by closing gaps in racial and ethnic disparities.
