| The National Public Health Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP) is a collaborative effort to enhance to Nation’s public health systems. Seven national public health organizations have partnered to develop national performance standards for state and local public health systems, based on the framework of the ten essential public health services. Numerous state public health systems, local public health systems, and boards of health have used the national standards since the launch of the NPHPSP in 2002. Many others are engaged in discussions for planning to implement the national standards in the future. Part I will begin with an explanation of how the NPHPSP fits in with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) vision for public health improvement. A particular focus will be new directions from the Futures Initiative, such as accreditation as well as efforts regarding the Operational Definition of a Local Public Health Agency by the National Association of City and County Health Officers (NACCHO) Next, Part I will provide an overview of the diffusion and use of performance standards, NPHPSP training opportunities, and national partners’ activities. Reports from the field, including the state, local, governance, and international instruments will also be featured. Finally, a report on stories collected from users of the performance standards will be provided. | |||
