The Operational Definition is the framework for LHD standards in the voluntary national accreditation program. The LHD Self-Assessment Tool for Accreditation Preparation is an agency self-assessment for LHDs to use in measuring themselves against the standards in the Operational Definition. 
A number of states have programs that address performance improvement, certification, or accreditation for LHDs. Click on the states to view information. 
These resources guide beginning or existing QI efforts as part of accreditation preparation. 
This communications toolkit offers practical methods and modern ideas for LHDs to communicate about local public health.
