agency accreditation has the potential to provide significant assistance to
health departments currently facing serious economic and political challenges
to their resource base and legal structures. The accreditation process is
also an important opportunity for public health professionals to engage
community stakeholders in new and meaningful ways.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This webinar
will provide insight for public health practitioners, their legal counsels and
elected officials into the legal and political implications of the national
voluntary public health department accreditation program, which is
scheduled to be launched on September 14, 2011 by the Public Health
Accreditation Board (PHAB). Three national experts will discuss how
accreditation can identify the potential changes underway in health department
legal structures. Beitsch will provide observations on the current PHAB launch,
including its background, legal components and implications on the public
health community. Then Matthews will discuss lessons from recent research on
the various state legal structures that support public health agency
accreditation or certification programs. Finally, Ross will present the Kansas
experience of establishing a voluntarily quality improvement program and shared
service delivery in a home rule state legal environment<o:p></o:p></span></p>
