Webinar: Vital Records & Health Statistics (VRHS) for State Accreditation Coordinators
Vital records serve critical public health functions and are essential in tracking life expectancy and creating effective public health programs in communities. In addition to identifying information collected on vital records, health information is collected and used for calculating basic statistics and the data are regularly used for medical and health research. VRHS unit accreditation is intended to help promote high standards that will validate and guide business operations and QI efforts in VRHS offices, as well as promote continuous quality improvement.
Public Health Departments and Vital Records & Health Statistics Departments can benefit by approaching accreditation together. In this webinar we’ll talk about how you can do that. We encourage state accreditation coordinators and others interested to join.
