Building Blocks for Public Health: Connecting Standards and Accreditation

This packed 90-minute Webcast will provide an introduction to, and explanation of, several building blocks for public health department infrastructure, including the National Public Health Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP), the 10 Essential Services, Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships program (MAPP), Understanding State Public Health Services project, and the Operational Definition of a Functional Local Health Department. The Webcast will also consider how these projects relate to the emerging voluntary national accreditation program for state and local public health departments.
