SUMMARY:Systems Thinking in Action: Mental Models as Leverage Points for Change
DESCRIPTION:In today’s complex public health landscape\, solutions are rarely just technical – they are shaped by beliefs\, assumptions\, and experiences we carry with us. Building on the foundations introduced in the Systems Thinking in Action webinar hosted in July 2025\, this second session invites public health professionals to step back and take a closer look at mental models – the often unseen ways of thinking that influence how systems are designed\, maintained\, and changed. \nMany public health practitioners use systems thinking in their work\, even if they don’t always call it that. This webinar creates space to slow down\, reflect\, and intentionally explore how mental models shape decision-making\, relationships\, and outcomes across public health systems. By making these models visible\, participants can identify powerful leverage points for meaningful and sustainable change. This session is designed to be both reflective and practical. Participants will develop a shared understanding of what mental models are\, how they are formed\, and why recognizing them is essential to systems change. Through a combination of didactic content and a moderated panel discussion\, attendees will hear real-world examples from experienced public health professionals working in a variety of roles. Panelists will share how surfacing and shifting mental models has influenced their work\, both the challenges and the successes.

SUMMARY:QI in Practice
DESCRIPTION:Quality improvement is often talked about\, but harder to apply in day-to-day work. Quality Improvement in Practice is an interactive workshop that focuses on what QI actually looks like in real public health and healthcare settings.  \nUsing the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Model for Improvement and the Plan–Do–Study–Act (PDSA) cycle\, participants will practice using three core questions to clarify goals\, identify meaningful measures\, and test small changes. The workshop emphasizes learning and experimentation\, particularly when the root cause or solution isn’t yet clear. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of QI and a concrete idea they can apply in their own work.

SUMMARY:Supporting Public Health Infrastructure Transformation ECHO Series: Session 4
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI)\, in partnership with the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI)\, is hosting a six-part virtual ECHO series focused on the Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG) key strategies of Workforce\, Foundational Capabilities\, and Data Modernization. This offering is designed to help health departments deepen\, operationalize\, and fully embed the initiatives they have already begun. The series will emphasize practical\, actionable strategies that move agencies beyond simply meeting standards toward achieving meaningful transformation. \nBy leveraging current strengths and knowledge\, participants will move beyond meeting standards\, fostering genuine transformation and enhancing readiness for meaningful change\, implementation\, and sustainability. The aim is to bridge the gap between awareness and the ability to fully integrate capabilities\, policies\, processes\, and technologies into daily operations and organizational culture. By providing participants with practical strategies\, the series seeks to help them embed the infrastructure work they have already outlined\, initiated\, and implemented into lasting transformation and sustainability. Furthermore\, the initiative will leverage the strong network and positive relationships developed during the previous ECHO series\, with the intention to expand and sustain collaborative efforts across the country. \nSession Dates:\nThis series will consist of six\, hour-long sessions (3:00-4:00pm ET)\, once a month from June-November 2026. \n\nSession 1: June 17\, 2026\nSession 2: July 22\, 2026\nSession 3: August 19\, 2026\nSession 4: September 23\, 2026\nSession 5: October 21\, 2026\nSession 6: November 18\, 2026\n\nSeries objectives include:\nWorkforce Development \n\nAnalyze current workforce strengths\, gaps\, and organizational needs to determine priority areas for development and long‑term resilience.\nDesign sustainable\, equity‑centered strategies for recruiting\, training\, and retaining a skilled public health workforce aligned with PHIG goals.\n\nFoundational Capabilities \n\nEvaluate the degree to which foundational capabilities (assessment\, communication\, partnerships\, preparedness\, and governance) are embedded in daily operations.\nImplement evidence‑based policies\, processes\, and organizational practices that strengthen and sustain core public health capabilities.\n\nData Modernization  \n\nApply modern data tools\, technologies\, and workflows to improve data quality\, sharing\, and use for equitable\, evidence‑driven action.\nAnalyze the basic requirements for improving data systems\, including how data should be collected\, shared\, and protected to support timely public health action.
