In order to achieve these partial goals the work package will take up following tasks:
* '''TP1''' kartoittaa ja kehittää tietoon perustuvia päätöksenteon toimintatapoja ja testaa niitä käytännön päätöksenteossa. Työtä tehdään yhteistyönä käytännön päätöstilanteiden yhteydessä aluksi Kuopion kaupungin, myöhemmin myös muiden toimijoiden kanssa.
* '''WP1''' maps and develops practices of knowledge-based decision making and tests them in practical policy making. Work will take place in collaboration with the City of Kuopio and later also other participants.
* '''TP2''' arvioi ympäristön terveysvaikutuksia Suomessa sekä priorisoi toimenpiteitä, joilla näitä haittoja vähennetään. Työ perustuu toisaalta tieteelliseen terveysvaikutusten arviointiin THL:n asiantuntijoiden voimin ja yhteistyössä STM:n muiden tutkimuslaitosten kanssa (SOTERKO), toisaalta mahdollisten toimenpiteiden kartoittamiseen ja hinnoitteluun.
* '''WP2''' assesses environmental health impacts in Finland and prioritizes actions for their mitigation. The work is based on the other hand on scientific health impact assessment by experts in THL in collaboration with other social and health research institutes (SOTERKO), on the other hand on the mapping and pricing of possible actions.
* '''TP3''' tuottaa käytännön tukimateriaalia sekä työkaluja terveysvaikutusten arviointien tekemiseen ja testaa ja kouluttaa niitä käytännön tilanteissa eli todellisissa kunnallisissa päätöstilanteissa, jotka ovat valmistelussa vuoden 2012 aikana. Tämän kokemuksen avulla niitä kehitetään edelleen. Työ ei lähde liikkeelle tyhjästä, koska THL on tuottanut tällaista materiaalia ja työkaluja runsaasti kuluneen viiden vuoden aikana, ja vuoden 2011 aikana ne on saatu käyttökuntoon (esim. http://fi.opasnet.org). Tärkeimmät tuotettavat tukimateriaalit ovat yleistajuisen kirjan käsikirjoitus ja osakuvaus ympäristöterveydenhuollon kokonaisarkkitehtuurista.
* '''WP3''' produces practical supporting information and assessment tools and tests and teaches their use in practical municipal decision making cases that are in preparation during 2012. Based on this experience they will be further developed. The work is based on the information and tools (e.g. http://fi.opasnet.org) that has already been developed in THL during the recent years. The most important supporting materials will be a manuscript for a general book on open knowledge-based practices in policy making and a partial description of the social and health field enterprise architecture.
* '''TP4''' kartoittaa nykyisen lainsäädännön ja toimeenpanon toimivuutta terveydensuojelun näkökulmasta. Kartoitus tehdään ministeriöiden voimin ja on osa hallinnon normaalia kehittämistä. Olennaista on tämän tuotetun tiedon (mm. YVAn toimivuuden arviointi) hyödyntäminen osana tätä hanketta.
* '''WP4''' evaluates the effectiveness of current legislation and its implementation from the point of view of health protection and management. The evaluation will be done in a collaboration between ministries and is seen as a part of the general development of administration. Making use of this information (e.g. evaluation of the EIA legislation) is an important part of this project.
* '''TP5''' hyödyntää muiden työpakettien kokemuksia ja menetelmiä, ja jalkauttaa terveysvaikutusten arvioinnin yhteiskunnalliseen päätöksentekoon Suomessa. Tämän työpaketin ensimmäinen vuosi menee toimintasuunnitelman laatimiseen muiden työpakettien kokemusten perusteella, ja varsinainen työ alkaa 2013.
* '''WP5''' makes use of the knowledge and methods provided by other work packages and implements health impact assessment into the practices of societal decision making in Finland. The actual work of this work package will begin during 2013.
 
'''Konkreettisina tuotoksina''' hanke tekee yleistajuisen kirjan käsikirjoituksen päätöksenteon tukemisesta tiedon avulla; kaksi artikkelia Ympäristö ja terveys -lehteen sekä yhden kansainvälisen tieteellisen artikkelin; päivitetyn kuvauksen tärkeimmistä ympäristöterveysongelmista Suomessa; käytäntökuvauksen Innokylän REA-työkaluun päätöksenteosta ja sen evaluoinnista; ja ympäristöterveydenhuollon kokonaisarkkitehtuurin kuvauksen hankkeen rajaukseen kuuluvan päätöksenteon osalta.

Hankkeen taustalla on kaksi hallitusohjelmassa mainittua tehtävää, jotka tässä muodostavat toisiaan tukevan kokonaisuuden: terveydensuojeluohjelma, joka koostuu työpaketeista 2 ja 3 sekä osin työpaketista 1; sekä ympäristöstä aiheutuvien terveyshaittojen arvioinnin ottaminen osaksi kaikkea suunnittelua ja päätöksentekoa, joka koostuu työpaketeista 1, 4 ja 5. Hankkeen nimi ''Tekaisu'' viittaa siihen, että terveysvaikutusten arviointi esimerkiksi kunnallista suunnitteluprosessia varten ei saisi olla kuukausimäärien työ, joka kiireen takia jää tekemättä, vaan nopea tekaisu, joka tuottaa hyödyllistä ja tieteellisesti pätevää tietoa päätösprosessin tiukkojen aikapaineiden puitteissa.
On the background for this project, there are two tasks mentioned in the government program, which support each other and constitute one entity within this project: the health protection program (terveydensuojeluohjelma) covering work packages 2 and 3 as well as a part of work package 1; and including assessment of adverse environmental health impacts in all planing and policy making (ympäristöstä aiheutuvien terveyshaittojen arvioinnin ottaminen osaksi kaikkea suunnittelua ja päätöksentekoa) covering work packages 1, 4 and 5. The project name ''Tekaisu'' refers to the fact that assessment of health impacts for the purpose of assisting e.g. municipal planning should not take months, but instead be quickly made, while still providing useful and scientifically sound knowledge to support the decision processes taking place within tight schedules.

TEKAISU (assessment of environmental health impacts into all planning and policy making) is a three year project (2012-2014), aiming to invoke such a change in societal decision making practices that environmental health knowledge and assessments (particularly open data and open assessments) would become systematically used as an intrinsic part of decision making. The project name Tekaisu refers to the fact that assessment of health impacts for the purpose of assisting e.g. municipal planning should not take months, but instead be quickly made, while still providing useful and scientifically sound knowledge to support the decision processes taking place within tight schedules. Tekaisu is a part of the social and health enterprise architecture work according to the Act on Information Management Governance in Public Administration. Enterprise architecture is a management system, which focuses on fitting actions and knowledge to supporting them.

Summary of the project:

  • Name of the project: TEKAISU
  • Project coordinator: Jouni Tuomisto, National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL)
  • Duration of the project: 2012-2014
  • Project participants: THL, Social and health ministry, Nordem Oy, City of Kuopion, Potentially also other municipalities.

The aim of Tekaisu is to invoke such a change in societal decision making practices that environmental health knowledge and assessments (particularly open data and open assessments) would become systematically used as an intrinsic part of decision making. In order to achieve this main goal, there are five partial goals and work packages correspondingly:

  • 1) To develop knowledge based decision making and its theory (WP1),
  • 2) To prioritize actions to promote environmental health (WP2),
  • 3) To implement knowledge and tools for environmental health impact assessment into practice (WP3),
  • 4) To evaluate current legislation, its implementation and development needs in order to aid in achieving the main goal (WP4),
  • 5) To initiate development of practical policy making through pilot-cases and later in broader development projects (WP5).

In order to achieve these partial goals the work package will take up following tasks:

  • WP1 maps and develops practices of knowledge-based decision making and tests them in practical policy making. Work will take place in collaboration with the City of Kuopio and later also other participants.
  • WP2 assesses environmental health impacts in Finland and prioritizes actions for their mitigation. The work is based on the other hand on scientific health impact assessment by experts in THL in collaboration with other social and health research institutes (SOTERKO), on the other hand on the mapping and pricing of possible actions.
  • WP3 produces practical supporting information and assessment tools and tests and teaches their use in practical municipal decision making cases that are in preparation during 2012. Based on this experience they will be further developed. The work is based on the information and tools (e.g. http://fi.opasnet.org) that has already been developed in THL during the recent years. The most important supporting materials will be a manuscript for a general book on open knowledge-based practices in policy making and a partial description of the social and health field enterprise architecture.
  • WP4 evaluates the effectiveness of current legislation and its implementation from the point of view of health protection and management. The evaluation will be done in a collaboration between ministries and is seen as a part of the general development of administration. Making use of this information (e.g. evaluation of the EIA legislation) is an important part of this project.
  • WP5 makes use of the knowledge and methods provided by other work packages and implements health impact assessment into the practices of societal decision making in Finland. The actual work of this work package will begin during 2013.

As concrete outcomes the project will deliver a manuscript for generalized book on open knowledge-based practices in policy making; two articles in the Finnish Ympäristö ja terveys (Environment and health) journal and one article in a scientific journal; an updated description the major environmental health problems in Finland; practice descriptions of knowledge-based societal decision making and its evaluation; and a partial description of the environmental health management enterprise architecture.

On the background for this project, there are two tasks mentioned in the government program, which support each other and constitute one entity within this project: the health protection program (terveydensuojeluohjelma) covering work packages 2 and 3 as well as a part of work package 1; and including assessment of adverse environmental health impacts in all planing and policy making (ympäristöstä aiheutuvien terveyshaittojen arvioinnin ottaminen osaksi kaikkea suunnittelua ja päätöksentekoa) covering work packages 1, 4 and 5.
