TARGET Project: Tribal Accreditation Readiness through Guidance, Education and Technical Assistance

Red Star Innovations Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc.

California Rural Indian Health Board Tribal Epidemiology Center Institute for Wisconsin’s Health, Inc. Support for this project was provided by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Objectives

• • • Have a basic understanding of accreditation and its benefits Provide an overview of the Tribal Public Health Accreditation Guidebook and Roadmap – Including its development Discuss the early stages of readiness for accreditation

Workshop Participants

• • •

We recommend that participants be:

Familiar with public health accreditation – Eligibility requirements – – Accreditation Process PHAB standards and measures If accreditation is new, we recommend you view the PHAB Online Orientation in addition to this webinar at www.phaboard.org

This webinar will be recorded and available online at www.redstar1.org

.

What is Public Health Accreditation?

• • • Measurement of Tribal, state and local health department performance based on a set of national standards Issuance of recognition of achievement by a nationally recognized entity Supports continuous quality improvement in public health performance

Public Health Accreditation Board

PHAB: Non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing continuous quality improvement of Tribal, state, local and territorial public health departments.

Accrediting body for national public health accreditation.

Vision: a high performing governmental public health system that will make us a healthier nation.

Readiness Checklists:

 Preparation  Planning and  Process

Readiness Checklists

Readiness Checklists are divided into four sections: 1. Initial Checklist – eligibility and support 2. Prerequisite Checklist – 3 prerequisites are current and complete 3. Process Readiness Checklist – recommended processes in place to support accreditation 4. Organizational Checklist – accreditation preparation tasks

Initial Checklist

• • • • Is the health department eligible?

– Statutory authority to promote and protect health Do you have support from: – Health Department Director?

– Appointing Authority of the Health Department Director?

– Board of Health or other governing entity?

Has the Director considered the cost of apply and budget implications?

Have HD staff reviewed the 10 Essential Public Health Services and determined the HD is providing all 10?

THD Eligibility

A Tribal health department is defined, for the purposes of PHAB accreditation, as a federally recognized Tribal government and respond to issues and events.

1

, Tribal organization or inter-Tribal consortium, as defined in the Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act, as amended. Such

departments have jurisdictional authority to provide public health

services, as evidenced by constitution, resolution, ordinance, executive order or other legal means, intended to promote and protect the Tribeʼs overall health, wellness and safety; prevent disease; Federally recognized Tribal governments may carry out the above public health functions in a cooperative manner through formal agreement, formal partnership or formal collaboration.

1 As evidenced by inclusion on the list of recognized Tribes mandated under 25 U.S.C. § 479a-1. Publication of List of Recognized Tribes .

PHAB Accreditation Fee Schedule 2011-2012

The

Public Health Accreditation Board

(PHAB) was created to serve as the national public health accrediting body, and is jointly funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The development of national public health accreditation has involved, and is supported by, public health leaders and practitioners from the national, Tribal, state, and local levels. Learn more about PHAB or sign up for the PHAB e newsletter by visiting

www.phaboard.org

.

Fee Overview

With the launch of public health accreditation in the fall of 2011, PHAB begins to operate like other accreditation organizations. As is typical in that industry, PHAB will institute a fee structure to manage and maintain the national accreditation process. This is an important step toward strengthening the through quality improvement and the ongoing identification of best practices. Moderate applicant fees are necessary in order for PHAB to provide quality services to both applicants for accreditation and accredited health departments in the future. Public health accreditation is not a improvement commitment.

Services Covered by the Fees

The fee your health department pays supports the evaluation of your health a full suite of ongoing accreditation services: An assigned accreditation specialist to guide your department through the application process; In-p ; -PHAB), making it easier and more cost-efficient for your health department to participate in accreditation; Site visit, operations against the national accreditation standards by a team of peer review experts; Annual quality improvement monitoring and evaluation for 5 years; Identified opportunities for improvements to help your health department better serve its population; and Access to a growing network of accredited local health departments and best practices.

Fee Structure

Fees are based on the size of the jurisdictional population served by the health department. PHAB understands that health department budgets are strained now more than ever. In order to ensure cost does not become a barrier to qualified health departments seeking and earning accreditation, PHAB has developed a variety of flexible ways for health departments to pay their fees. Health departments can receive a discount by paying in advance Health departments can pay in multiple year increments

(see below)

Health departments can pay with end of the year grant funds

(with approval of grant project officer)

Accreditation Fee Schedule will be published annually, one year in advance. The rate is applicable for a period of five years, beginning with the date of submission of the full application. Invoices will be provided by PHAB to the applicant health department based on the type of payment schedule they select.

Community Health Improvement Planning – Information Gathering

Community Health Assessment Community Health Improvement Plan Strategic Plan

Community Health Assessment (CHA)

• • • • • A collaborative process that is conducted in partnership with other organizations Involves the systematic collection and analysis of data and information Provides a snapshot of information that can then be followed in the future Results in a report about community health status that is shared with the community at-large Basis for development of a community health improvement plan

Type of Data Collected

• • • • • • • Demographics Socioeconomic characteristics Quality of life Behavioral factors The environment (including the built environment) Morbidity and mortality Other social, Tribal, community, or state determinants of health status

Basis-Use-Benefits

• • • • • Data-based decision making and action Informs priority setting and action planning Provides a baseline to measure changes in health over time Engages stakeholder/community in defining its strengths and needs Increases collaboration/coordination among stakeholders to address identified needs

Systematic Process

• • • • • • • • Develop an assessment plan Systematically engage the community Define the community/population Identify community health indicators Collect data Analyze the data Identify health priorities Report results

• • • • •

Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP)

A long-term, systematic plan to address issues identified in the community health assessment Describes how the health department and the community it serves will work together Must include participation of a broad set of stakeholders and partners Planning and implementation process is community driven Addresses the needs of the population residing within the Tribe's jurisdiction

Elements of a CHIP

• • • • • • Tribal health priorities, measurable objectives, strategies, performance measures, and time Policy changes needed to accomplish objectives Individuals and organizations responsible (does not have to be formal) Measureable health outcomes/indicators to monitor progress Alignment with state and national priorities (HP 2020) Plan implementation (reporting, monitoring, evaluating progress)

Department Strategic Plan

• • • • • • Process for defining an organization's roles, priorities, and direction over 3-5 years What an organization plans to achieve, how it will achieve it, and how it will know if it has achieved it Guide for allocating resources and pursuing priorities Focus on the entire health department Program-specific strategic plans may complement and support the department strategic plan Links to CHIP and quality improvement plan
