The Public Health Accreditation Board’s (PHAB) national public health department accreditation standards are based on the 10 Essential Public Health Services framework. PHAB Standards and Measures are focused on development and implementation of policies, systems, programs and services for disease prevention, health protection, and health promotion for the entire population and/or specific groups of the population in the health department’s jurisdiction.
PHAB’s Scope of Authority applies to Accreditation, Reaccreditation, Pathways, and VRHS Accreditation.
