Development of the Plan
Development of the Comprehensive Health and Social Services Plan began in 2003 with the drafting and
subsequent adoption by the Social Service Advisory Board of the 20 priority indicators and 10 goals for
improvement outlined in this document.
Detailed planning for the achievement of these goals and indicators began in February 2004. During this
process, it became apparent that planning for two portions of the goals and indicators would be better achieved
by different groups. After discussing the matter, the Social Service Advisory Board asked the Workforce
Policy Board to assume responsibility for developing detailed plans for achievement of six of the eight goals
which compose the Income, Education, and Workforce Development priority indicators. The responsibility for
the two remaining indicators in this section, relating to domestic violence and violent crime, was assumed by
the Criminal Justice Advisory Commission. It is expected that detailed plans for these goals and indicators
will be forthcoming over the course of the next several months.
Planning teams, which were composed of a broad cross-section of community leaders and experts in various
fields, were created for the 10 goals and 12 remaining priority indicators in each of the following areas: Early
Childhood, Partnerships for Success, Older Adults, Family Health, and Systems Management and Oversight.
In addition, the Systems Management group formed two subgroups to work under its direction, the Health and
Social Service Finance Forum and Shared Case Management Data System/Data Tracking Capability. The
planning teams began meeting in February 2004 and continued on a roughly bi-weekly basis through June
2004. All three priority indicator planning teams, Early Childhood, Family Health, and Older Adults, have
decided to remain in existence after June 2004 to help refine and implement the plans where appropriate.

Plan Summary
The Plan consists of two major components, ten broad-based goals in the areas of health, human services,
and financial and data management. In addition, 20 indicators were developed in the areas of income,
education, and workforce development; early childhood, delinquency prevention, older adults, and family
health. Below, we present a brief overview of the plans in each area:
Ten for 2010
This section presents detailed plans for the achievement of the 10 goals outlined by the SSAB for
achievement by the year 2010.
Health Goals:
•
Establish a Primary Medical Services Collaborative – The plan envisions the Healthy
Connections Network (HCN) as the centerpiece of the proposed collaborative. The HCN should
be expanded to include the Area Agency on Aging. In addition, the HCN should begin to
develop a strategic plan for its ongoing financial support.
•
Establish a comprehensive prevention and early intervention program for expecting parents and
preschool children – This portion of the plan focuses on the co-location of outreach and
assessment staff , as well as parent information centers, in existing public and non-profit service
provider locations, an increase in Welcome Home outreach visits to all new parents in the county,
and the training of staff to perform Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
eligibility outreach.
•
Establish a retrospective immunization review – This part of the plan focuses on setting up a
regular schedule of immunization reviews following up on the review conducted in 1998-99.
Plans call for a repeat of the review by the Summit County Health Department (SCHD). SCHD
would collaborate with other major immunization providers in conducting the review.
Human Service Goals:
•
Create a system to increase coordination and communication between courts and public social
services systems – The plan calls for the establishment of a work group composed of Common
Pleas court staff and representatives of major social service and health agencies. This work group
will develop a interagency liaisons and a system of procedures between the courts and other
respective agencies.
•
Establish a Summit County Center for Families and Children – The mission of the proposed
Center for Families and Children would be to research, educate and advocate on behalf of
children and families. Plans call for the development of a mission statement and business plan by
a coalition of current family and children’s service provider agencies including the SSAB, Family
and children First Council, the Domestic Violence Coalition, the major hospitals, Summit County
Children’s Services, and the Summit County Department of Job and Family Services.
•
Establish a Partnership for Success coordinating body – The Partnerships For Success (PFS)
initiative will be focusing on three targeted outcomes, increased school success, decreased
delinquency, and decreased violence. Plans for the coordinating body include monitoring the PFS
4
community plan, maintaining data relevant to measuring results, implementing and monitoring an
early response and diversion system for youth with problem behaviors.
•
Secure additional supports for semi-independent older adults – Plans for supporting the
independence of older adults center around creation of a senior services levy, the creation of an
Independent Living Task Force which would build support and advocate for change benefiting
older adults, and the creation of a corps of volunteers to help in achieving the older adult priority
indicators identified by the SSAB.
Financial and Data Management Goals:
•
Establish a Health and Human Services Finance Initiative – This initiative has already become
active, composed of more than 30 public agency, foundation, and non-profit organization
representatives. It is meeting on a quarterly basis, and will has begun focusing on opportunities
for increased financial collaboration for health and human service delivery.
•
Develop a case management data system – This plan is also already underway. A committee has
been formed which has inventoried all major categories of case management information across
nine public agencies. Next steps in the plan include examining legal and regulatory barriers to
information sharing, defining protocols for sharing information between agencies, and developing
detailed timelines for development, installation, testing, and training of agency personnel working
with shared case management information.
•
Create a data system to track progress – Plans call for the Data Tracking Committee (already
created) to set criteria for reviewing project goals and indicators, and contracting with
NEOUCOM and the University of Akron to evaluate and monitor progress on an ongoing basis.
•
County-wide communications plan – A major effort is already underway to communicate the
goals and objectives of the Summit 2010 project. These plans include targeted presentations to
boards of major public agencies, foundations, health and social service organizations, as well as
to community representatives in three neighborhoods currently producing neighborhood plans,
and a variety of civic, social service, and other community groups over the coming months.

Detailed plans – This section presents detailed plans for the achievement of the 20 goals outlined by the
SSAB for achievement by the year 2010. Details for each of the indicators can be found in the matrices
in the main body of the report.
Income, Education & Workforce Development – Detailed plans for these indicators are being
developed by the Workforce Policy Board and the Criminal Justice Advisory Commission. The eight
indicators in this area are:
•
Increase the proportion of people living above the official poverty line
•
Increase the proportion of African-Americans living above the poverty line
•
Reduce unemployment
•
Increase the proportion of people aged 25 and over who have received a high school diploma
•
Increase housing affordability, raising the proportion of households spending under 30% of their
incomes on housing
•
Reduce the proportion of households receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF)
•
Reduce the incidence of domestic violence-related crime
•
Reduce the rate of violent crime
6
Early Childhood indicators:
•
Increase the proportion of African-American children living above the official poverty line –
Plans focus on the promotion of basic education and improving job skills among parents of young
children, and include expanding financial literacy and Earned Income Tax training, increasing
affordability and availability of day care services, increased transportation for job seekers, and an
increased communications effort geared toward making parents of young children more aware of
available services.
•
Increase the proportion of children receiving their immunizations by their second birthdays –
Plans around immunizations focus on making the Immunization Coalition (IC) the focal point for
all immunization-related activities. Plans also include expanding the membership of the IC,
developing and implementing a comprehensive community outreach campaign to increase
immunizations (including aggressive advertising, mass mailings, and incentives provided by local
businesses), conducting two pilot programs designed to test various community outreach
strategies, and enlisting volunteer help from retired physicians and nurses to provide
immunizations and to encourage general practitioners to provide more immunizations. A more
effective use of the Ohio Department of Health’s immunization database is also envisioned.
•
Reduce the incidence of child abuse and neglect – Plans for reducing child abuse and neglect
include instituting a program to train utility, postal, and newspaper delivery people to recognize
signs of child abuse, expanding efforts to inform families receiving services from public agencies
of the warning signs of child abuse and neglect and of resources available to fight it, as well as
widely distributing information packets and a video discussing warning signs and available
resources for child abuse, neglect, and anger management (for both parents and children). Plans
also include the development of an evaluation framework to measure the impact of various
intervention strategies on an ongoing basis.
Partnerships for Success indicators:
•
Increase the proportion of African-American children age 18 or less living above poverty – Plans
include tracking families receiving services across agencies (perhaps through the use of a “smart
card), utilizing one-stop service providers, and exploring youth employment, job training, and
expanded literacy and basic educational opportunities. These plans include coordination of job
and occupational training among different schools, informing families of available services
through an increased marketing and awareness campaign, and exploring possibilities for
partnerships among effective program providers.
•
Increase secondary school attendance – Plans to increase attendance include targeting “at-risk”
students through an early identification and assessment system, encouraging the use of national
model programs to increase attendance, provision of effective parenting programs, and the
development of alternative academic opportunities.
•
Reduce the rate of births to teens, focusing on higher rates among African-American youth –
Plans include expansion of existing pregnancy prevention programs with a focus on a holistic
approach, conducting outreach to get more youth into such programs, and recruiting adults as role
models to work with both males and females.
7
Older Adults indicators:
•
Increase the proportion of African-American older adults (age 65+) living above poverty – Plans
include targeting those age 50-65 as well as those age 65 or older, promoting continued
employment among those still working, and providing tax breaks for companies hiring those age
65 or older. In addition, plans call for an educational campaign targeted at all those over age 50
which would emphasize the provision of financial literacy training and retirement planning, an
outreach program designed to get current seniors connected with currently available services, and
evaluating the effectiveness of existing programs.
•
Increase self-sufficiency of seniors living alone – Plans focus on helping people prepare to
become seniors (and cope with their parents becoming seniors) by increasing educational
opportunities related to older adult issues and disseminating information about existing programs
and services. Plans also include conducting a public opinion study of seniors to gauge their needs
and knowledge of services, addressing in-home safety issues, and coordinating existing resources
to help fight senior isolation. In addition, plans include increasing transportation options for
seniors, piloting programs for in-home grocery and medications delivery services, and expanding
the availability of assisted-living beds for financially-eligible seniors.
•
Reduce the incidence of elder abuse and neglect – Plans here include the creation of an Adult
Protective Service Task Force (APS) as part of the SSAB to coordinate all APS-related activities,
strengthen the Elder Abuse Prevention Coalition, advocating for a Summit County senior services
levy, resolving technical issues limiting use of InfoLine’s 211 line, and possible reinstitution of
the Gate Keepers program to train utility, postal, and newspaper delivery people to recognize
signs of elder abuse and neglect.
Family Health
•
Increase the proportion of individuals with health insurance – Plans for family health include
increasing resources available to the Healthy Connections Network (HCN) in order to establish
an Access to Care program staffed by volunteer physicians which would provide subsidized care
to those without insurance, exploring other insurance models such as COSE, three-share, and
Kaiser transition plan models, as well as training staff to help identify treatment options for the
medically indigent. Plans also include expanded Medicaid outreach, improving case management
services, and creating a Pharmacy Coordinator to increase access to drugs by the medically
indigent.
•
Increase the proportion of pregnant women receiving first trimester prenatal care – Plans include
expansion of neighborhood outreach to get more women into care, expanding the In Due Time
school-based program, establish a program to get vitamins to pregnant women who are waiting
for doctor’s appointments, increased outreach to encourage participation in health education
programs and nurse-parish programs.
•
Reduce the rate of Years of Potential Life Lost from All Causes – Plans include funding the
Family Health Survey, development of a reliable risky behavior data set, meet with county
planning officials to encourage use of existing green space, provision of health promotion
programs in public housing projects, and providing free and/or subsidized health screening
programs.

III.
Ten for 2010
This section presents detailed plans for the achievement of the 10 goals outlined by the SSAB for
achievement by the year 2010. On the pages that follow, detailed planning matrices present
proposed action steps to achieve each of the goals. These include estimated target dates, funding
amounts and frequency (where appropriate and when able to be determined), projected funding
agencies and projected oversight agencies, as well as any relevant notes for the action steps.
In several cases, a variety of organizations are listed as the agency or agencies responsible for
oversight of a particular action step. While overall responsibility for achieving the plans rests
with the Social Service Advisory Board, the planning teams recognize that other organizations
with direct involvement on certain action steps can and should offer operational oversight in
addition to the SSAB where appropriate.

Priority Indicators
The presentation of the priority indicators contains two subsections. First we present an analysis
of the 20 indicators chosen by the SSAB and the targets for improvement associated with each.
This analysis presents the current data by cluster for each indicator, and estimates the
improvement which will be needed to reach the target identified by SSAB. The 20 clusters are
broken into two groups, the priority clusters identified by the SSAB for each indicator, and the
remaining clusters for each indicator.
The analysis then presents the numbers of people who must be served in order to reach a given
target for each indicator. For example, the SSAB adopted a goal of reducing the unemployment
rate from five percent to four percent. Data from the 2000 Census indicated that there were
13,912 unemployed Summit County residents aged 16 or older in 2000, which represented five
percent of the total of 260,600 residents aged 16 or older. In order to reach SSAB’s goal of four
percent unemployment, unemployment must decline by 3,488 people, lowering the total
unemployment to 10,424 people.
These improvement figures are distributed proportionately between the priority and remaining
clusters. This is done because in several cases the SSAB has decided that a certain percentage of
the overall county improvement should occur in the priority clusters. For example, the SSAB
decided that 50% of the improvement in unemployment should occur in the six priority clusters
for unemployment, and the remaining 50% improvement should occur in the remaining 14
clusters. Within each group of clusters, targets for improvement are further proportionately
distributed among individual clusters. To return to the unemployment example, there are six
clusters that make up the priority indicators for unemployment. Because the 893 unemployed
people in Barberton make up 12% of the combined 7,208 people in the six clusters who were
unemployed, 12% of the improvement which must come from the priority clusters as a whole
needs to come in Barberton.
The second part of the priority indicator presentation includes the actual plans for the
achievement of the 20 priority indicators. Detailed planning matrices present definitions and a
rationale for the importance of each indicator, the current data for Summit County, as well as data
for each of the priority clusters targeted for improvement along with the improvement goal. In
addition, the matrices contain a summary of the organizations currently working on each
indicator, and an estimate of the financial resources they have committed (to the degree that it
was able to be estimated accurately). Each indicator matrix also contains a series of proposed
action steps to achieve each of the targets. These include estimated target dates, funding amounts
and frequency (where appropriate and when able to be determined), projected funding agencies
and projected oversight agencies, as well as any relevant notes for the action steps.
As with the goals presented earlier, a variety of organizations are listed as the agency or agencies
responsible for oversight of a particular action step. While overall responsibility for achieving
the plans rests with the Social Service Advisory Board, the planning teams recognize that other
organizations with direct involvement on certain action steps can and should offer operational
oversight in addition to the SSAB where appropriate.

COUNTY GOAL
This indicator is important because it is a fundamental measure of quality of life and economic vitality. Families constitute a primary economic and social unit and those
with children and below the poverty level of income require a higher level of support from social, health, and economic support systems. Children under age 5 are
particularly vulnerable to the effects of poverty since the first five years are arguably the most important developmental years in a child's life. Also, poverty rates among
African-American children under age 5 nationwide are well above the poverty rate for whites under age 5, making the issue particularly important for African-Americans.
Why this
indicator is
important:
COUNTY DATA
United States Census Bureau 2000: The number of children in Summit County under the age of 5 years who were identified as ‘Black/African-American” who live “below
the poverty level” as defined by the United States Census.

Health and Nutrition: Collaborate with parents and various
community agencies (i.e., Akron Health Department and
Summit County Health Department) and medical
professionals, to ensure children enrolled in Head Start/Early
Head Start have required immunizations, dental examinations,
lead screenings, and vision examinations. Contract with Akron
Children’s Hospital’s Sick Child Care Program to provide care
for up to 50 sick children while their parents’ work. Collaborate
with Women, Infants and Children (W.I.C.) to offer nutritional
enhancement to pregnant mothers and preschool children.
Utilize Body Mass Index (BMI) to assess the growth and
development of each child.
Head Start provides comprehensive early childhood
development for children ages 3 to 5 in areas including
education, health, nutrition, parent involvement and social
services. Approximately 2,300 children are serviced at over

COUNTY GOAL
Health insurance coverage, whether provided by employers in the private sector for employees and their families or by government for the poor or disabled, enables
people to have access to a basic level of health care. The uninsured population is more likely to have low incomes and is more often unemployed. People who have no
health insurance coverage are less likely to have a regular source of care or receive preventive care, thereby worsening their health status. People who lack coverage
often delay seeking care until their illnesses become more serious, necessitating complex and expensive treatment. These people frequently seek medical care at
hospital emergency departments.
