The PHIT™ Scorecard

Coach LucyCEO & Community Activator

Every population health dashboard in the world measures the problem. The PHIT Score is the only metric that also measures the solution — your community’s active engagement with prevention, education, and cross-sector collaboration through The Force for Health.

▸ Domains H through O are government data — they tell you how sick or healthy your community is today
▸ Domain F (35% of score) is YOUR engagement — every coin earned, every Bingo completed, every Ambassador trained, every Chamber meeting held
▸ A trained Ambassador reduces healthcare costs for themselves and their families because prevention is the best protective investment
▸ Communities with active Chambers of Health — all 5 sectors at the table (public, private, education, healthcare, nonprofits) — will thrive in the Reality Health Games

Vaccination coverage is one of the fastest, cheapest, and most measurable levers a Chamber of Health can move. Every percentage point of MMR coverage above 95% builds herd immunity. Every flu shot in a 65-plus adult prevents 1 in 4 hospitalizations.

▸ 4 hero tiles = your state's headline coverage rates with the HP2030 federal target
▸ State Exemption Policy card tells you how easy it is for families to opt out — green strict / yellow moderate / red permissive
▸ Newborn Screening row shows how many conditions your state screens (federal floor = 37)
▸ Adolescent series shows where your teens are vs HP2030
▸ Global panel shows where the US sits on the world stage

Pick ONE gap and call a quarterly Chamber huddle around it. The biggest movers are usually MMR kindergarten, HPV 13-17, and flu in 65+.

Obesity is the upstream driver of half the chronic disease in this dashboard — diabetes, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, joint disease, certain cancers. Move this number, and you move five other panels at once.

▸ Top tiles = your county vs your state vs the national rate (33% adult obesity)
▸ Top/Bottom 5 counties in your state — see who's winning the food + activity environment
▸ Global comparison from Japan (4.5%) to Samoa (47%) — the US sits high
▸ Childhood context — 19.7% of kids 2-19, 22.2% of teens, big race/ethnicity gaps

Live It Coins for daily movement + the Bingo Cardiovascular card are the two FFH levers that bend this curve.

Most community dashboards collapse "behavioral health" into one number. That hides where your county is actually broken. This panel shows the 24 KPIs that NACCHO, ASTHO, RWJF, and County Health Rankings track — the ones funders ask about.

▸ Suicide + 988 — life and death plus the crisis hotline you call
▸ Homelessness — both a driver AND a marker of behavioral crisis
▸ Alcohol — DUI deaths + excessive drinking + underage
▸ Cannabis — arrest disparity is the equity flashpoint
▸ Access — telehealth wait times, MH workforce, psych beds
▸ Treatment — buprenorphine, drug courts, ACEs

Use the Behavioral Working Group at your Chamber of Health to set ONE quarterly priority. Tip: flip to the Map view to see which counties in your state are bleeding worst on the metric you pick — that's where you start.

Population health isn't only what's in the dataset — it's what just hit the news this week. This panel pulls live headlines from 170 RSS feeds (same registry as the FFH Population Health News Hub) and stacks them in five geographic tiers.

▸ 🏡 My Backyard — county public health feeds
▸ 🚶 My Neighbors — neighboring counties + bordering states
▸ 🏛️ My State — your state Department of Health
▸ 🇺🇸 Across the Country — CDC, FDA, NIH, HHS, CMS, SAMHSA, HRSA, AHRQ, IHS, VA
▸ 🌍 Around the Globe — WHO, PAHO, ECDC, UNICEF, GAVI, Global Fund, UNAIDS, World Bank, MSF, Gates

Skim the 5 tiers before any Chamber call. If you see the same theme across multiple tiers (e.g., measles + RSV), that's your conversation starter.

Every state has a State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP). Every nonprofit hospital has a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) filed under IRS § 501(r)(3). If your Chamber activations align with BOTH, you unlock state preventive-services dollars AND hospital community-benefit credit.

▸ SHIP card — your state's official 4-pillar framework with lead indicator + target
▸ CHNA card — your county's hospital-system priorities (filed every 3 years)
▸ Activation crosswalk — which SHIP pillar pairs with which CHNA priority
▸ County Health Rankings — RWJF + UW deep-link for full benchmarking

When you propose a Chamber project, attach this panel as evidence of alignment. It's the single most useful slide in a grant proposal.
