This presentation will discuss the use of systems theory and place-based approaches to assess current cross-sector health system behaviors and identify priorities for future development. Participants will explore a structured assessment framework that has been successfully implemented at local, regional, state and tribal levels to elicit stakeholder knowledge to analyze the degree to which: 1) leadership is coordinated across sectors and organizational boundaries, 2) system capacity is adequate to achieve desired outcomes, and 3) effective processes and practices are being used by the system and its members. The presentation will also discuss core assessment areas and indicators, and processes for helping stakeholders prioritize assessment findings to guide system planning and development. As part of the presentation, participants will review assessment tools and processes and engage in interactive large and small group discussions.
