[LHDAccreditation] Mini-Toolkit for Public Health Policy Review-- May help with accreditation measures 6.1.1.a and 6.1.2.a

[Erin Mowlds]

Accreditation Work Group,

During recent work with local health departments, there have been a few
requests for additional checklists, tools and examples for meeting specific
accreditation documentation requirements.

This is a mini-toolkit that may help your health department with reviewing
public health policies and may also help you with some components of
accreditation measures 6.1.1.a and 6.1.2.a (and possibly others).

Please note, this toolkit is meant to provide examples for reviewing public
health policies and *not to provide actual documentation*. Also, there are
additional documentation requirements for these measures.
Measures 6.1.1.a and 6.1.2.a are related to reviewing existing and
potential public health policies and comparing them to evidence-based or
promising practices in order to make recommendations.*

Attached you will find the following tools and examples:

-- Blank Existing Policy Review Checklist Template (to be used and amended
by health departments)
**-- Blank Proposed Policy Review Checklist (to be used and amended by
health departments)
-- Policy Review Checklist Example for School Immunization Requirements
**-- Proposed Policy Review Checklist Example for SB 132 (Changes education
and documentation requirements for opting out of immunizations)** *


When using this checklist, or other review tools, it is helpful to review
policies in comparison to evidence based or promising public health
practices.
One good resource is the Community Guide:

http://www.thecommunityguide.org/index.html<http://www.thecommunityguide.org/vaccines/universally/RRrequirements_school.html>

Again, these populated checklists are meant to be examples and not to be
used as actual documentation. Please feel free to use and adapt the
attached checklist templates.

Thanks to Lila and Muriel for help with this. Let me know if you have any
questions,

Erin
