Priority Setting
Process of deciding which HIV/AIDS services are the most needed and ranked as important in the EMA / TGA
![Page 49: Planning Councils and Planning Bodies Lennie Green Dept. of Health & Human Services Health Resources & Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau Division](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e755503460f94b75b7f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Requirements
Priorities should be based on:
• Cost effectiveness and outcome effectiveness of strategies
• Community priorities
• Size and demographic of PLWHA and their needs
![Page 50: Planning Councils and Planning Bodies Lennie Green Dept. of Health & Human Services Health Resources & Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau Division](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e755503460f94b75b7f/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Priority Setting - Directives
Directives are instructions to the grantee on how best to structure priorities to meet the needs of PLWH, particular subpopulations
and / or
PLWH or providers in a specific geographic area.
![Page 51: Planning Councils and Planning Bodies Lennie Green Dept. of Health & Human Services Health Resources & Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau Division](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e755503460f94b75b7f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Priority Setting - Directives
Example:
The grantee must target Spanish language case management services in the 60617 and 60618 zip codes
Example:
Agencies with a history of service to women with children have priority to be awarded funds under this service category
![Page 52: Planning Councils and Planning Bodies Lennie Green Dept. of Health & Human Services Health Resources & Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau Division](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e755503460f94b75b7f/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Principles To Guide Decision Making
• Decisions must be based on documented needs
• Services must be responsive to the HIV profile in the service area
• Priorities should strengthen the continuum of care
• Address overall needs, not narrow concerns
• At this stage, do not consider other sources of funding
![Page 53: Planning Councils and Planning Bodies Lennie Green Dept. of Health & Human Services Health Resources & Services Administration HIV/AIDS Bureau Division](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649e755503460f94b75b7f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Meeting Service Priorities
• Provide for geographic parity
• Focus on the needs of low-income, underserved, and severe needs populations
• Facilitate culturally and linguistically appropriate services
• Ensure equal access to services
• Ensure primary care services meet Public Health Service treatment guidelines

Strategies for Promoting Collaboration
• Establish ground rules
• Ask each member to talk about his or her needs
• Do not avoid conflict
• Facilitate open communication
• Create written policies and procedures for conflict management
• If all else fails, use mediation or arbitration

Maintaining Consumer Involvement
Learning Objectives:
• List reasons that consumers become disengaged from the Planning Council process
• Generate ideas for ways to recruit consumers and maintain their involvement
• Identify tools and/or plans to use in recruiting and retaining consumers

How Can We Support Consumer Involvement?
• Set a welcoming environment – hold a welcome luncheon, create a mentoring system, appreciation ceremonies
• Make sure people have the information they need – review important issues/materials before the meeting
• Everyone on the Planning Council should take responsibility for making sure that consumers are represented and that they remain active (“If not you, who?!”)
• Remember: quality Planning Councils attract interested people

How Can We Support Consumer Involvement?
• Orientation – takes place once
• Training opportunities should be ongoing
• Be clear about expectations (responsibilities, length of meetings, or length of time to complete tasks)
• Be clear about the role of staff
• Make HRSA materials available to everyone and encourage their use
