| 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 have plans underway to implement the national standards in the coming months. Part II will begin with lessons learned from the first two years experience with the national public health performance assessment instruments. This session will focus on; why public health systems completed the assessment, lessons learnt from their experiences in organizing the assessment process, the process of involving community partners, and using the assessment results for performance improvement. The session will also address some of the nuts and bolts issues, including how to structure a Performance Standards assessment process and skills for conducting the assessment. Attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a hands-on mini-training session. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the end of the session participants will: 1) identify the benefits of using the performance standards. 2)learn different methods for structuring the assessment process 3)gain knowledge on using assessment results for performance improvement. | |||
