c. Target Audience Statement: Federal, military and public health administrators, managers and program managers, as well as professors and students at schools of public health who have an interest in the NPHPSP and organizational effectiveness and performance.
d. Program Description: What opportunities can performance standards provide to state and local public health leadership? This session will explore the National Public Health Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP) and its connections to some of the key issues facing public health leaders today. The session will address the NPHPSP’s role in driving performance improvement and the opportunity that the standards provide in creating stronger connections among partners and a greater impact on health. Attention also will be given to the connection between the NPHPSP and other public health practice initiatives, including the national interest in developing an accreditation system for state and local public health agencies. All speakers will address the opportunity that a performance standards assessment process can provide to leadership in setting positive directions for their state or local public health systems.
The NPHPSP is a collaborative effort to enhance the Nation’s public health systems. Seven national public health organizations, CDC, APHA, ASTHO, NACCHO, NALBOH, NNPHI, and PHF, have partnered to develop national model performance standards for state and local public health systems and local governing entities based on the framework of the ten essential public health services. Numerous state and local public health systems, and boards of health have used the national standards since the launch of the NPHPSP in 2002, and find it a valuable tool for assessing public health activities and identifying opportunities for improvement.
e. Program Objectives:
1. To learn how the National Public Health Performance Standards Program is able to measure current performance in capacities at the state and local levels.
2. To articulate the opportunities that the NPHPSP provides to public health leaders in improving their public health systems.
3. To learn how the NPHPSP relates to current public health agency accreditation efforts.
