departments to seek voluntary national accreditation through the Public
Health Accreditation
Board<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001k6FvZSOTc3jTuP7aE65bRMHtpMEh1hz7A4yTklzORnooWbSwa1NT2Dj4Dfg1oPPLfNIO96Ql6TZoWNzI2sv4L1dbWP3Nf-BlrsmEp4e3eRSVisOtpG5Dr4LwLMYOI9R_eReFA6FyuEEhfzZuV_CvvU_fsfhG3e22tCV6iXEITUij5GK3sfSeRGKpXTMqDdR-tVupNJ9MgmxQNJeokHuG4TKJ3Lay0kIl>

identified PHAB prerequisites, achievement of PHAB standards and measures,
and offsetting accreditation fees. In addition to monetary support,
selected sites will receive technical assistance from experts in the field.

New Accreditation Preparation Tool for Tribal Health Departments

NACCHO is excited to release a new tool for Tribal Health Departments
(THDs) interested in pursuing accreditation. The THD Self Study
Tool<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001k6FvZSOTc3ih5JASmv0-72iGHQBAYCMOyEHhJzwQYLOo58Q4jxLRbuPjVEcfd-naJhlQAzMQ8gam0hONi9puXqiwE-xBptdA2KoksmlcChndnYJ1bH3uFBY-P7ArPqQIz1_YejZp1Y0z8BSXaeb9mjJAT37YVCLg2PjDFnV-MZBQbFKFUBbWlP3AAYduztyzHl5bm94kXXBH2mMw46kMSM_cO5Ud0C1CpfJar5zQ0ma1W4mm_lpnCztfj0hJhJKZo3nCvJv0rs3z7LfWgcHgCMlQDuY6syC3E2C_fT8YDFjPspr56-ATP8_Z5QVRwNrpWle9mytbpHS9f9u6d_SLdQ==>
is
intended to assist THD staff in undertaking a self-study process in a
meaningful manner and in alignment with PHAB requirements. Like the LHD
guide, on which it is based, it helps THDs identify strengths and uncover
gaps in performance based on the PHAB standards and measures. Find out more
