What does a HIGHLY-EFFECTIVE rating indicate in a UEI?

• A. The Wing meets/exceeds criteria for an EFFECTIVE rating with highly reliable results.
• B. The Wing fails to meet key standards.
• C. The Wing is marginally compliant.
• D. The Wing exceeds all possible standards, with no caveats.

Answer: (A)

A Highly-Effective UEI rating means the wing’s public health operations are performing at the top level, meeting or exceeding the criteria for an Effective rating and producing highly reliable results. It signals that the unit not only aligns with standards but does so in a way that yields consistent, dependable outcomes backed by solid evidence. This reflects strong processes, solid compliance, and trustworthy data across evaluated areas. It is not a claim of absolute perfection or that every possible standard is surpassed with no caveats, but rather a strong demonstration of reliable, high-quality performance.
