This Guide presents the official requirements and process for the
reaccreditation of public health departments. The Guide pertains to
accredited health departments that submitted their application for initial
accreditation on or before June 30, 2016.

Many accreditation organizations repeat the initial accreditation
requirements and process for reaccreditation. However, PHAB determined that
simply repeating initial accreditation would not continue to advance public
health departments.

PHAB reaccreditation builds on initial accreditation, but is very
different. Both the requirements and the process for reaccreditation have
been designed to ensure that accredited health departments continue to
evolve, improve, and advance, thereby becoming increasingly effective at
improving the health of the population they serve.

REQUIREMENTS*

(1)    Describes the reaccreditation process. The process for a health
department to be reaccredited is similar to initial accreditation but it is
more efficient with shorter timeframes and a virtual site visit. It will
continue to be a peer-reviewed process. Like the process for initial
accreditation, it was designed to encourage ongoing quality improvement.
(2)    Sets forth the Reaccreditation Standards and Measures. The Standards
and Measures for reaccreditation move away from demonstrating that the
health department has capacities and instead focuses on the use of those
capacities, accountability, and continuous quality improvement.
(3)    Describes the Population Health Outcomes Reporting requirement. The
purpose of this requirement is for PHAB to begin to establish a national
database of selected health outcomes and their associated objectives that
accredited health departments have chosen to monitor. The Guide explains
the purpose and process for the mandatory Population Health Outcomes
Reporting.

*REACCREDITATION LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES*
PHAB will provide a webinar for anyone interested in learning about the
reaccreditation process and requirements on February 9 at 1 p.m. Eastern
Time. To register for the webinar, please go to

In the spring of 2017, PHAB will release a webinar specifically for health
departments applying for reaccreditation. This webinar will provide helpful
information for Accreditation Coordinators and health department directors.
PHAB will release tip sheets and other supportive documents on
reaccreditation, as needed.

*FEES*
Similar to the Initial Accreditation fee structure that went into effect on
July 1, 2016, the reaccreditation fees will have a* Reaccreditation Review
Fee* for the first year and then an ongoing *Annual Accreditation Services
Fee* for each year thereafter. The fees will cover the continued
subscription to the e-PHAB accreditation system, multiple training
opportunities, a dedicated Accreditation Specialist, peer review by trained
reaccreditation reviewers along with a virtual site visit, a thoughtful and
deliberative review from the Accreditation Committee, and continued access
to the growing number of accredited health department resources through
PHAB's Accredited Health Department Portal. For future reaccreditation
cycles, the health department will not pay an additional Reaccreditation
Review Fee, as its cost will be included in the Annual Accreditation
Services Fee. The fees can be found at http://www.phaboard.org/
accreditation-overview/what-does-it-cost/

.

*e-PHAB*
The e-PHAB module for reaccreditation will be made available to accredited
health departments on the first day of the calendar quarter in which the
health department received initial accreditation, five years after receipt
of initial accreditation. The health department, however, should be
preparing its documentation many months before the e-PHAB module is made
available to them. In the spring of 2017, PHAB will provide templates for
documentation and instructions on the preparation of documents for
uploading into e-PHAB.
