With funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, NACCHO created the Accreditation Preparation and Quality Improvement (QI) Demonstration Sites Project to give local health departments (LHDs) from across the country the opportunity to start preparing for accreditation. These sites conducted self-assessments using the LHD Self-Assessment Tool for Accreditation Preparation to identify areas for improvement and then implemented QI projects using the Plan-Do-Check-Act framework to address priority areas identified by the self-assessment. The final reports listed below show how these LHDs incorporated various QI tools and techniques into agency functions.
