This Tool Kit was designed to help preschool and child care center directors improve the recording of required vaccinations for the children in their centers. Vaccination is the best way to prevent communicable diseases. This Tool Kit was created in response to the observation by the public health nurses that far too many children in some of Morris County, New Jersey’s preschools and child care centers had not been immunized in a timely way, or at all, for seasonal influenza.

Beginning in November, 2005, the Morris Regional Public Health Partnership (MRPHP) began meeting for the purpose of evaluating the forces of change that are affecting the Morris County Health care system. Such forces are regarded as pressures requiring accommodation or adjustment because, for the most part, they cannot be altered. The results of this inquiry would be used to assist the preparation of a Morris County Health Improvement Plan. Meetings began in November, 2005, and continued into the spring of 2006 with the goal of identifying those forces and examining the issues relating to them.

 

Local Health System Evaluation Assessment

The Partnership Self-Assessment Tool assesses the success of a partnership’s collaborative process by measuring its level of synergy.  Synergy is a key indicator of successful collaborative process because it reflect the extent to which the partnership can do more than any of its individual participants.  Put another way, a partnership’s level of synergy indicates the extent to which the partnership, as a whole, is greater than the sum of its parts.
