Example of Taking One Finding from Phase 2 and Developing a Detailed Plan of Action

Finding	Recommendations	Objectives	Indicators	Action Steps
Only 3/21 reportable diseases have standard case definitions (SCDs) *	All reportable diseases should have SCDs for suspected, probable, and confirmed case-patients. The Ministry of Health (MoH) should select or develop case definitions appropriate for various types of health facilities/providers*	SCDs are established for every reportable health condition	SCDs are developed for each reportable health condition	1) The MoH should establish a working group 2) Review existing SCDs 3) Select/develop a proposed SCD for each reportable disease* 4) Conduct consensus workshops at district and national levels

^* This information can be developed in much greater detail, e.g. tiered case definitions (e.g. suspect, probable, and confirmed) can be developed for different diseases and laboratory capabilities can be specified for various levels.
