Accreditation

The S2AY Rural Health Network is assisting in the accreditation of member public health departments.

What is Public Health Department Accreditation?

• The measurement of health department performance against a set of nationally recognized, practice-focused and evidenced-based standards.

• The issuance of recognition of achievement of accreditation within a specified time frame by a nationally recognized entity.

• The continual development, revision, and distribution of public health standards.

The goal of the voluntary national accreditation program is to improve and protect the health of the public by advancing the quality and performance of Tribal, state, local, and territorial public health departments.

Why is it important?

PHAB’s public health department accreditation process seeks to advance quality and performance within public health departments. Accreditation standards define the expectations for all public health departments that seek to become accredited. National public health department accreditation has been developed because of the desire to improve service, value, and accountability to stakeholders.
