  5. Definition of Health Policy and Management Health Policy and Management is a multi-disciplinary field of inquiry and practice concerned with the delivery, quality and costs of health care for individuals and populations. This definition assumes both a managerial and a policy concern with the structure, process and outcomes of health services, including the costs, financing, organization, outcomes, and accessibility of care.

  6. Process • Several phone conferences • Meet face-to-face at APHA in Washington DC in November • Utilize Council on Linkages (COL) and ASPH existing HPM competencies as foundation for internet discussion and to generate initial list for 1st Delphi • 3 modified Delphi sessions

  7. Process (cont’d) • Workgroup chat-room responded to COL/APHA matrix of MPH competencies to develop final list of 46 competencies for Delphi 1. • 1st Delphi – resulted in more rather than less competencies • Went into Round 2 with 50 competencies • 2nd Delphi results • Chairs combined and reduced to: • 7 domains • 13 competencies

  8. Process (cont’d) • 3rd Delphi – Resulted in 10 competencies • Final teleconference narrowed down to 8 competencies • 4 parked competencies recommended for cross- functional skill sets • Added back 2 from parking lot to get up to 10.
