Abstract:
The purpose of this extension is to support the continued collection of information from participating health departments through a series of five surveys. The surveys seek to collect longitudinal data on each health department throughout their accreditation process. The surveys will be administered on a quarterly basis and sent to all health departments that reach each milestone summarized in the table below. The mission of the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) is to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing and transforming the quality and performance of public health agencies in the US and abroad. One of the impetuses for the development of the national voluntary accreditation program was a 2003 Institute of Medicine report, titled The Future of the Public’s Health in the 21st Century, which suggested that the field consider accreditation as a means to improve performance and accountability of health departments.2 This led to the Exploring Accreditation Project, which concluded that such a program would be both desirable and feasible.3 Based on that, PHAB, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 2007. With funding from the CDC and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and participation by more than four hundred public health experts and practitioners, PHAB developed a consensus set of standards to assess the capacity of state, Tribal, local, and territorial health departments.4 Accreditation is granted for a five-year period and 40 state, 382 local (315 local health departments and one integrated system comprised of 67 local health departments), and 6 Tribal health departments have been accredited. Formal efforts to assess the outcomes of the accreditation program began in late 2012 and continues to date. Priorities focus on gathering feedback for program improvement and documenting program outcomes to demonstrate impact and inform decision making about future program direction.
