The Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Needs (IPLAN) is a community health assessment and planning process that is conducted every five years by local health jurisdictions in Illinois. Based on the Assessment Protocol for Excellence in Public Health (APEX-PH) model, IPLAN is grounded in the core functions of public health and addresses public health practice standards. The completion of IPLAN fulfills most of the requirements for Local Health Department certification under Illinois Administrative Code Section 600.400: Certified Local Health Department Code Public Health Practice Standards. The essential elements of IPLAN are: an organizational capacity assessment; a community health needs assessment; and a community health plan, focusing on a minimum of three priority health problems. IQuery - the next generation of IPLAN Data System IQuery previously known as the IPLAN data system, is a web-based data query system originally created in 2002 and recently refreshed in 2024 for collecting and disseminating Illinois public health data. IQuery is administered by the Illinois Department of Public Health. A primary goal of IQuery is to have the most up-to-date data possible in one easy-to-access repository for required analysis of health data to support certified local health departments in their IPLAN processes. Per Admin Codes 600.400.a.1. b., 600.400. a.c. and 600.410. a.2. The list of community health indicators published on the IQuery web site shall be utilized to structure the minimal content of the assessment. A local health department may use in its assessment IQuery data and additional data available that describes the health of its population, including natality, mortality, morbidity and risk factors for illness in its jurisdiction.
