Bimonthly User Call Series

NPHPSP sponsors a bimonthly conference call series for users of the NPHPSP and interested parties.

Hosted by National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI), the calls provide an opportunity to share experiences and lessons learned with fellow NPHPSP users. Users can also learn about national level topics relating to performance assessment and improvement.

Participants on past calls have discussed topics such as

• Unique implementation strategies
• Exploration of a national voluntary accreditation system for local and state public health departments
• Plans for quality improvement after completion of the assessment
