The movement toward public health department accreditation took another step forward today with the announcement from the RWJF of a national collaborative venture between the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI) and the Public Health Leadership Society (PHLS). The Multistate Learning Collaborative-2 is working with 10 states. The objectives are to:
Bolster the public health performance assessment or accreditation programs in the 10 states;
Convene the states to share and explore quality improvement efforts;
Produce resources and tools to be used by others;
And inform the public health practice community about the findings and products of the project.
