Acknowledging that there are many determinants of health, even Delaware\u2019s robust planning as required by the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid State Innovation Model is only a partial response to what is necessary to improve the health of Delawareans. For this reason, the Division of Public Health initiated a State Health Improvement Process.<\/p>\r\n        <p>The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) defines a State Health Improvement Process as the following:<\/p>\r\n        <p><em>A comprehensive approach to assessing state health and developing and implementing action-plans to improve state health through substantive community member &#8230; engagement. The state health improvement process yields two distinct yet connected deliverables: a State Health Assessment (SHA) presented in the form of a State Health Profile (SHP) and a State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP).<\/em><\/p>\r\n        <p>As evidenced by this definition and other details outlined by NACCHO, the State Health Improvement Process is a sequential process involving a State Health Assessment (SHA), a State Health Profile (SHP), and ultimately, a State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP).<\/p>\r\n        <p><em>Figure 1 provides a conceptual framework for the State Health Improvement Process.<\/em><\/p>\r\n        <p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Figure 1 provides a conceptual framework for the State Health Improvement Process.\" class=\"img-thumbnail img-responsive\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/dph\/img\/shafig1.png\"><\/p>\r\n        <p> <\/p>\r\n        <p>To complete the State Health Improvement Process, the Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) was chosen as an improvement-planning model. The NACCHO website meticulously explains this model in the context of evaluating and enhancing community health. Table 1 aligns the State Health Improvement Process components, the six MAPP steps, and the status of completion as of May 31, 2013.<\/p>\r\n        <p> <\/p>\r\n        <p><em>Table 1.
