Activity 3: State oral health plan
Overview of Development of a State Oral Health Plan

This flow chart describes the process of developing a state oral health
plan, which is guided by the vision and direction of the state oral
health program.
- The state oral health program directs a planning team and coordinates
efforts to develop the plan with the state oral health coalition. A
facilitator also may be useful for engaging the planning team and coalition
in this process.
- Stakeholders discuss the development of the state oral health plan at
regional or community meetings, and are involved in each succeeding step.
- The information gathered is brought to a statewide oral health summit,
where committees meet to consider plan components. These committees then may
be directed to write plan components.
- The state oral health program, planning team, and coalition finalize the
plan. They develop a launch plan and disseminate it to key stakeholder
groups, including health professionals, consumers, and policy makers.
Dissemination strategies also should include working with the news media.
- The plan is evaluated for effectiveness.
