The COHIP development process ultimately engaged more than 150 community <br />stakeholders through semi-structured informant interviews, focus groups, working groups, and <br />leadership committees. Participants’ backgrounds ranged from academic experts and low- <br />income residents to leaders of community-based organizations and dental care providers. Over <br />the year-long process, these community stakeholders created a COHIP with six key objectives <br />(health literacy; access to care; coordination of care; workforce development; policy leadership; <br />and transparency and accountability). Within each objective, the plan included action items to <br />address collaboratively over the next five years by the dozens of organizations engaged during <br />the process. The plan also included specific measurable outcomes to track its implementation <br />over time and assess changes relative to baseline, cross-referenced by plan objectives. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT 1
