A variety of programs
Division of Public Health
Idaho Department of Health and Welfare

Documentation Selection
Current & in use when submitted

–“hard copy” submitted electronically in e-PHAB

Documentation Selection
Documents may be used for more than one
measure
–i.e., Can use same document more than once
Continuity versus across department
Several documents may be needed to
demonstrate conformity
Don’t confuse # of examples with # of
documents

Evidence of Authenticity
Evidence of Authenticity = Signature
All documents must show evidence of authenticity.
That is, the document must have a logo, signature,
email address, or some other evidence that the
document is “authentic” to the applicant health
department. The purpose for this requirement is to
provide PHAB site visitors with evidence that the
documentation does in fact “belong” to the health
department being reviewed.
Evidence of Authenticity is a best practice
Division of Public Health
Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
11/6/14
Evidence of Authenticity
Examples:
Documentation could be a written policy and include the
signature of a governor, mayor, or health department director.
With email; the "To" and "From" and the email addresses will
serve as evidence that the document is "official" health
department business.
A department logo will provide the evidence that the document
is an official health department document.
A brochure will not have the health department or program director's
signature, but it will include the department's logo.
Meeting minutes are usually signed but may include the department’s
logo instead, noting that it is an “official” document.
Division of Public Health
Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
11/6/14
All Documents Must be Dated
All documentation used to demonstrate conformity with
measures must be dated within the timeframe indicated in
the Guidance. The date indicates when the document was
created, adopted, reviewed, revised, etc.
The specificity of the date on the document will depend on
the documentation requirement and the type of document.
Emails provide the full date and time
Policies may include the month, day, and year.
Reports may include the month and year.
A brochure may include only the year. In most cases the month
and year will be required
Dating on documents is a best practice

Not Prescriptive
Look for “What” is in place, not “How” it got there
or “Who” developed it
Documentation may be developed, e.g.,
By the health department
By another level of government (an umbrella agency,
the state or local HD)
By another governmental agency
By a community partner, non-profit org
By a contractor (e.g., consultant, academic)
By a partnership (evidence of membership)
