- Description
- The Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH), Family Health Services Division (FHSD) seeks to enter into a contract with a qualified community-based, non-profit organization in Hawaii to help plan and implement the next phase of a five-year maternal and child health (MCH) needs assessment mandated for the federal Title V MCH Block Grant. FHSD utilizes the federal Title V MCH Block Grant (‘Title V’) as a framework to promote the development and coordination of systems of care for the MCH population and improve population health outcomes.
To assure that the MCH population health needs are met, the Title V grant requires a state-level needs assessment every 5-years to collect and review data, identify health priorities, and conduct planning to address the priorities. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection is currently being completed to understand the issues facing this population. The next phase of the needs assessment is focused on planning for the presentation of data findings and engagement of both FHSD programs and community partners to identify the priority needs for the five population domains identified and supported by the grant: women of reproductive age; pregnant women and infants; children; adolescents; and children with special health needs.
Technical assistance is needed to plan and assist with facilitation of two processes that will identify priorities for the MCH needs assessment:
1) Internal FHSD process to identify priorities based on the Division statutory mandates and staffing resources.
2) General statewide process to identify priorities based on input from external partners and community members.
The vendor will work with FHSD programs, a Needs Assessment Advisory Committee, and data analysis contractors to develop user friendly data findings, select prioritization criteria, and plan internal and external general statewide priority selection processes. The vendor will also oversee implementation and facilitation of the two prioritization processes that may include in-person meetings. - Contact Person

- General Comments
- The long-term goal of the MCH needs assessment is to improve the health outcomes of the children and families served by the Title V grant.
The goal of this project is to plan and implement two processes that will identify the priorities of the MCH needs assessment for the next five-year period of the Title V grant.
1) The first prioritization process will engage FHSD programs to provide leadership and engage in planning efforts to select 7-10 health issues.
2) The second general state prioritization process will engage external partners and community members to identify key MCH priorities for the overall state population. The priorities may include issues that extend beyond the purview of the FHSD program scope.
The Bidder shall describe in detail how, from 1/14/2025, or upon DOH Family Health Services Division (FHSD) approval, through 4/30/2025, it will conduct the following:
1. Convene and provide needs assessment updates for the FHSD programs and staff, engage staff to provide leadership to coordinate assessment efforts for each population domain, solicit input on innovative and effective methods to present data findings, identify criteria to select priorities, and collect input on priority selection;
2. Meet regularly with FHSD and the Needs Assessment Advisory Committee to develop a comprehensive and ongoing action plan;
3. Work with the FHSD and the Needs Assessment Advisory Committee to develop a plan for both the internal and general state prioritization processes, and an evaluation plan to assess the activities so that the awarded Contractor and FHSD can make modifications as needed throughout the contract period;
4. Assist FHSD to provide support for program leadership development;
5. Provide a timeline for implementation of the two prioritization processes and needs assessment activities; and
6. Implement plans for both prioritization processes to identify: 1) 7-10 FHSD priorities; and 2) a similar list of priority needs for the general MCH population. - Procurement Officer
