| Florida's Local and State Public Health System Assessment Results |
|
In 2011, the Florida Department of Health led a coordinated, statewide effort
to assess the capacities of state and local public health systems. The goals
of the assessment were several-fold: to create stronger systems through
collaboration; to identify strengths, challenges and system-wide solutions; to
foster quality improvement by using national benchmarks; to more fully inform
community health improvement planning efforts; to prepare agencies for
national voluntary public health agency accreditation; and, ultimately, to
positively impact health outcomes of Floridians. The National Public Health
Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP) state and local instruments were used
to measure the states capacity to deliver the ten Essential Public Health
Services (EPHS). State and Local Report Narratives are provided for 2011
and 2005 for comparison.
