This document is intended to support local communities in achieving their Health Equity Measure as part of the California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy and building an equitable recovery.
More specifically, counties can use this document to inform Targeted Investment Plans that will be leveraging Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Prevention and Control of Emerging Infectious Diseases (Strategy 5: Use Laboratory Data to Enhance Investigation, Response, and Prevention) grant funds throughout implementation.
This living document will continue to be updated as the pandemic progresses and as more is learned about what strategies are working on the ground.
Recognizing that there is no single solution or strategy for the response and recovery to COVID19, this document provides a collection of options for locals to select from to support customized approaches for the assets and needs of each community.
We also acknowledge that an equitable response and recovery to COVID-19 requires a comprehensive, “all of government” and multi-sectoral approach.
Additionally, the response and recovery need to be community and data driven, both through use of quantitative data from surveillance systems and qualitative data from community insight and experience.
Technical Assistance In addition to the Health Equity Metric (Metric) and the COVID-19 Health Equity Playbook for Communities (Playbook), the State is also working to pull together teams to provide technical assistance (TA) to locals.
This section will be updated as the TA teams are finalized. The intention is that between the Playbook and technical assistance, counties will have the information needed to be able to reach and surpass their Health Equity Metrics.
