Led by PHAB, public health Accreditation is based on a set of nationally recognized Standards that dictate how we measure public health practice and how we move toward excellence in practice.

But what is behind the PHAB Standards? The simple answer is: trusted public health frameworks combined with practices developed and driven by the field.

In this blog, Jessica Solomon Fisher, MCP, PHAB COO, and Bem Faris, MS, PHAB Sr. Communications Specialist, explore how the 10 Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) and Foundational Public Health Services (FPHS) frameworks align with the national standards for public health Accreditation. Additionally, they highlight the value of having the Foundational Capabilities directly embedded in the PHAB Standards, ensuring Accredited health departments provide the essential services and capabilities needed to support the health of their communities.

Accreditation starts with understanding your community.

For Essex County Office of Public Health Management (ECOPHM), a Community Health Assessment provided a clearer picture of residents’ needs and helped the department determine where its resources could make the greatest impact.

With approximately 21,000 responses to its first assessment, ECOPHM used community data to guide program development, pursue funding opportunities and build partnerships.

PHAB Accreditation helped turn that understanding into a foundation for growth, connecting community needs with the services and systems needed to address them.

Read the full story to learn how ECOPHM used Accreditation to build for the future and discover how your health department can put community data into action.
