Description

Virginia's Plan for Well-Being (The Plan) is a call to action for Virginians to create and sustain conditions that support health and well-being. Right now, in Virginia, many local communities are coming together to improve health. Communities, stakeholders, and partners can use this plan to build on work being done to assure clarity of effort and align scarce resources. The Plan lays out 13 priority goals that address issues significantly impacting the health and well-being of the people of Virginia. it provides a framework to guide the development of projects, programs, and policies to advance Virginians' health. From these goals, communities can choose one or two that represent a priority to them and around which they can focus efforts in the short term. The strategies in The Plan have been shown to be promising or best practices. The Plan also identifies some of the key community partners needed to achieve results.
Virginia's Plan for Well-Being is a companion plan to Virginia's 2016 State Innovation Model Health Improvement Plan, which calls for Accountable Care Communities in Virginia to achieve the triple aim in health care: improving health care quality; improving the health populations, and reducing the per capita cost of healthcare. The Virginia Center for Health Innovation and the Virginia Department of Health is committed to tracking the progress of Virginia's health improvement and to annually report on specific measures identified in the two plans. Using population health data to evaluate our progress can help Virginians assess whether our systems and strategies are effective and can guide us to change course where needed.
