PPHF National Public Health Improvement Initiative

 

The National Public Health Improvement Initiative is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?s larger effort to increase the performance management capacity of public health departments in order to ensure that public health goals are effectively and efficiently met. On March 30, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (PL 111-148). This legislation established a Prevention and Public Health Fund (Title IV, Section 4002) to provide for expanded and sustained national investment in prevention and public sector health care costs. ACA and the Prevention and Public Health Fund make improving public health a priority with investments to improve public health services, establish meaningful and measureable health indicators, and to achieve long-term improvement in health outcomes. The 5-year ?Strengthening Public Health Infrastructure for Improved Health Outcomes? cooperative agreement program is designed to support innovative changes in key areas that improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of the public health infrastructure to better enable the delivery of public health services and programs as specified within ACA. In this continuation announcement, the CDC proposes to award approximately $33.7 million to fund 74 grantees using a formula. Eligible applicants are limited to current Awardees. In this continuation funding is available to ALL current awardees to provide support for: ? accelerating public health accreditation readiness activities ? providing additional support for performance management and improvement practices and, ? developing, identifying and disseminating innovative and evidence-based policies and practices. This program supports the Healthy People 2020 focus area of addressing Public Health Infrastructure (http://www.healthypeople.gov/hp2020/). Cross-jurisdictional (state, local, tribal, territorial, regional, community, and border) collaborations are encouraged to increase the impact of limited resources, improve efficiency, and to leverage other related health reform efforts/projects. Measurable outcomes of the program align with the following performance goals: 1) Increased efficiencies of program operations, 2) Increased use of evidence-based policies and practices, and, 3) Increased readiness for applying to and achieving accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board PHAB. (More information on accreditation activities can be found on the PHAB web site at http://www.phaboard.org/.
