Selecting the Right Documents for Accreditation: Part 2 - the Good, the Bad & the Ugly

PHAB has specific documentation guidelines that are used to determine the appropriate health department submission to assess conformity of the health department's performance with accreditation standards and measures. The purpose of this workshop is to assist health department staff and those public health consultants and educators who assist health departments in preparing for accrediation to develop the skill set necessary to prepare and select the most appropriate documentation to be successful accreditaion applicants.

As a continuation of the previous session, the group will discuss their findings as faculty discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the sample documentation. Participants will also participate in critiquing each small group's documentation selection.

Participants will be asked to assess their own capabilities to implement the skills developed during this learning institute once they are back in their own operating environment. This assessment will lead to identification of gaps in their skills that were addressed by this institute.
