<font>Dear Local Health Departments,<br><br>This is a reminder about my upcoming accreditation webinar-- <b>Introduction to Accreditation and QI</b>. It is being held on Tuesday, February 7th 9-11am. Please <b>email me to register</b> if you haven't already. As a reminder, this webinar will include a basic overview of Accreditation and QI concepts and a review of resources and other opportunities available for LHDs. <br>
<br>The email with more information about this webinar series is pasted below.<br><br>Thanks!<br>Erin<br><br>
<br>All
LHDs are in a different places
with their accreditation preparation, some are getting close to
submitting their letters of intent, some are working on their
prerequisites and others are
starting to look at the requirements. In order to meet the accreditation
needs of all
LHDs, there is the state-wide Accreditation Work Group, regional
trainings and
one-on-one trainings/ meetings available. <br>
<br>In addition, I will be doing a <span><span>webinar</span></span> series in order to walk
through some of the predominant training needs that came up in the
baseline assessment. Below is the tentative plan for these webinars,
however I will send out a survey after each <span><span>webinar</span></span> in order to see if
the training needs have changed. <br>
