Accreditation and Quality Improvement
|
The Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is developing a voluntary national accreditation program for state, local, territorial, and tribal health departments that launches in 2011. NACCHO provides tools, resources, and training opportunities to local health departments (LHDs) to assist in their preparation for accreditation and in using quality improvement (QI) processes to improve performance and meet PHAB standards. 
If you're considering applying for accreditation, whether just starting to think about it or are nearly ready to apply, this is the place for you. This section offers a variety of information and resources for those just beginning their accreditation activities, as well as LHDs more seasoned. Learn more about preparing for accreditation » 
The goal of PHAB’s accreditation program is to improve and protect the health of every community by advancing the quality and performance of public health departments.* This section contains resources aimed at helping LHDs engage in QI and prepare for accreditation through QI processes and activities.
