BACKGROUND
Public health officials must frequently demonstrate the quality and value of public health services, especially during challenging fiscal climates. One of the ways that public health quality and accountability have been demonstrated is through the use of accreditation and standard setting initiatives.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this analysis was to identify existing alignment opportunities between standards established by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) public health preparedness (PHP) capabilities in order to optimize and leverage the connections for state and local public health professionals.
DESIGN
During March-May 2012, a PHAB/PHP crosswalk was developed by a research team from the CDC's Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support and Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response's Division of State and Local Readiness to examine the intersection of the PHP capabilities and the PHAB standards. The PHAB/PHP crosswalk used the CDC Public Health Preparedness Capabilities: National Standards for State and Local Planning (PHP Capabilities) and the PHAB Standards and Measures, Version 1.0 (PHAB Standards) as its source documents. To help illustrate the results of the crosswalk, alignment was also depicted through a network graph to transform the results into a visual depiction of the linkages between PHP capabilities and PHAB standards.
RESULTS
The most direct links to emergency preparedness were found in PHAB Domains 2 and 5. Opportunities for improved alignment were found throughout the standard documents, particularly in PHAB Domains 3, 8, and 11. The most direct links to accreditation were found in PHP capabilities 1, 2, 3, and 4.
CONCLUSIONS
The results highlight the synergy between the infrastructure and foundational elements represented by accreditation and targeted programmatic activities supported by preparedness funding.
背景
公共卫生官员必须经常展示公共卫生服务的质量和价值，尤其是在财政形势严峻的时期。证明公共卫生质量和问责制的方法之一是通过使用认证和标准制定举措。
目的
本分析的目的是确定公共卫生认证委员会（PHAB）制定的标准与疾病控制和预防中心（CDC）的公共卫生应急准备（PHP）能力之间现有的协调机会，以便为州和地方公共卫生专业人员优化和利用这些联系。
设计
2012年3月至5月期间，CDC州、部落、地方和领土支持办公室以及公共卫生应急准备与响应办公室州和地方准备司的一个研究团队编制了一份PHAB/PHP对照表，以检查PHP能力与PHAB标准的交叉点。PHAB/PHP对照表使用CDC公共卫生应急准备能力：州和地方规划国家标准（PHP能力）以及PHAB标准与措施第1.0版（PHAB标准）作为其源文件。为了帮助说明对照表的结果，还通过网络图描绘了协调情况，以将结果转化为PHP能力与PHAB标准之间联系的直观描述。
结果
在PHAB领域2和5中发现了与应急准备最直接的联系。在整个标准文件中都发现了改进协调的机会，特别是在PHAB领域3、8和11中。在PHP能力1、2、3和4中发现了与认证最直接的联系。
结论
结果突出了认证所代表的基础设施和基础要素与应急准备资金支持的针对性计划活动之间的协同作用。
