Accreditation Readiness Projects 

 

The Performance Management Program (PMP) supports Local Public Health Authority (LPHA) Accreditation Readiness Projects with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support (OSTLTS), as part of the National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII). The grant cycle is August 2011 through September 2012.

Projects involve implementation of relevant and essential activities to prepare the organization for applying for national public health accreditation:

  • Development of a community health assessment.
  • Development of a community health improvement plan.
  • Development of an LPHA-wide strategic plan.
  • Organizing the agency workforce and documentation for accreditation; including, but not limited to, identification of essential staff roles, team charters, ensuring leadership support, assessment and examples of simple changes in daily work culture to help prepare for evidence collection and documentation in meeting PHAB standards.
  • Quality improvement activities to address a deficiency related to a specified PHAB standard or measure
