For health departments that are preparing to apply for accreditation, PHAB recommends working diligently on the following:
Review PHAB’s Online Orientation to Public Health Department Accreditation. While this review is required for the Accreditation Coordinator and the health department director, it contains great information that health departments can share with their staff, boards of health, elected officials, and community partners as they prepare for accreditation.
Appoint an Accreditation Coordinator and department-wide team for review of the process, standards, measures, and documentation guidance, as well as the identification of documents.
Complete the National Public Health Department Initial Accreditation Readiness Checklists and use them to guide the organization of the work.
Visit this website’s Education Center for additional pre-application materials.
Review the “Terms and Conditions” for entering into the public health department accreditation program.
Submit the health department’s Registration and Application on e-PHAB.
Understanding the potential impact of the accreditation program may help the health department engage all staff in this transformative effort. Learn about the benefits of accreditation>
