| The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services developed the Missouri Information for Community Assessment (MICA) system to make health data and intervention planning information available at the local level. As part of the needs assessment and priority setting tools, MICA provides an interactive system that allows users to summarize data, calculate rates, and prepare information in a graphic format for presentation. This part of the system is composed of: 1) Community Profiles and other MICA data systems that provide data on health conditions, including causes of death, births, hospitalizations, emergency room use, etc.; and 2) a Priorities MICA data system that works with user input to prioritize health conditions by county and for the state. The intervention planning tools are part of Intervention MICA, an interactive, evidence-based system that helps the user select the most appropriate intervention as well as design, plan, implement and evaluate the intervention. This part of the system provides information, tools, links to other sites and other resources for building community partnerships, assessing organizational and community readiness, enhancing cultural competence and incorporating social determinants of health in addition to the evidence and information supporting intervention selection and delivery. | |||
| Learning Objectives: This session aims to: 1.describe the evidence-based process of designing and developing the inter-related MICA systems; 2. discuss how these systems work interactively and cumulatively to provide a community-based infrastructure for needs assessment, priority setting and intervention planning; and 3. illustrate how these tools can be used to enhance evidence-based practice at the state and local levels. | |||
