SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single-source award will support the
operations and continuous improvement of a national accreditation
program for state, tribal, local, and territorial public health
departments. Through this project, CDC will support the awardee to (1)
provide education regarding accreditation; (2) improve and/or develop
new products to ensure a relevant, current, and smoothly functioning
program; (3) monitor emerging issues, foster innovation, and strengthen
strategic partnerships to support and advance accreditation; (4)
strengthen the evidence base for the use of accreditation to advance
public health practice; and (5) develop and/or continuously improve
accreditation standards, programs, and/or products for programmatic or
focused areas of public health services.
PHAB is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it is widely
recognized by health departments, national organizations, and federal
agencies as the only national accrediting body for state, tribal,
local, and territorial health departments. PHAB is a non-profit
organization that has the infrastructure necessary to support the
accreditation program, including staff, a heavily engaged Board of
Directors, national consensus standards and measures developed with
extensive input from the field, documentation guidance, and an
assessment process. PHAB has continuously improved their standards and
tools, including using a robust public vetting process to develop and
release updated versions of the standards in 2014 and 2022; and
launching the Pathways Recognition Program in 2022 for local, tribal,
and territorial health departments who seek recognition for their
performance improvement efforts and to facilitate accreditation
readiness.
