ACTIVITIES
Making A Difference
ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (AFR) for Ohio Local Health Departments
The Ohio 21C Project (Public Health in the 21st Century) developed a tool to measure costs of providing foundational public health services (FPHS) for local health departments (LHDs). The tool is based on other national costing work and is in collaboration with the Public Health National Center for Innovations (PHNCI). Ohio LHDs complete the Costing of FPHS spreadsheet and submit selected data from the spreadsheet to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) for the required Annual Financial Report (AFR). This process has been underway since 2019.

ACCREDITATION LEARNING COMMUNITY
The Accreditation Learning Community (ALC) began in 2013 as a networking and technical assistance event to help Ohio local health departments pursue national public health accreditation. The ALC featured expert speakers on performance management, CQI, "How to" of accreditation, preparing documents, site visit preparation, and staff engagement strategies. The ALCs provided networking, sharing, training and technical assistance in a supportive environment of peers.
The ALC was noted by ASTHO in 2013 as a promising practice, "Collaborative Partnerships for Accreditation Preparation."
​
ALC success is based on continuous feedback from participants, peer support and meaningful evaluation. Ohio is able to offer lessons learned to other states or regions interested in promoting public health accreditation, including hosting an ALC for you.
