Mid November Update

For anyone interested in public health quality improvement and accreditation:

1. The Public Health Accreditation Board is hosting the first in a series of national update webcasts on December 15, 2008 from 11:30 AM to 1 PM.  To register, visit www.phaboard.org.
2. A public health program evaluation resource for your consideration (or reconsideration)  is the CDC Framework for Program Evaluation located at http://www.cdc.gov/eval/framework.htm.  Within this section is a 92 page PDF self study guide.
3. Thanks to Terri Timmers, WDPH Northern Region Director, for sharing this newly published resource entitled, Fundamentals of Evaluating Partnerships. This document is the latest addition to a series of evaluation guides developed by the CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) and it applies the evaluation framework noted above to partnership evaluation. This guide is available at http://www.cdc.gov/DHDSP/state_program/evaluation_guides/
4. A reminder (thanks to Mary Young, WDPH Southern Region Director) that there is a listing of evidence-based practices for Healthiest Wisconsin 2010 on the WDHS website at http://dhs.wisconsin.gov/statehealthplan/practices/index.htm


For WIQI Project Partners:



1. The WIQI Forum (for registered users only) QI Target Issues Forum contains a link to a NY Times article on adolescent alcohol use in Wisconsin.
2. An agenda for the brief project partner teleconference on December 9.2008 will be coming soon.  Please keep that date and the January 13.2009 dates on your calendar.
3. Our project's second quarter report is posted in the Resources section of the Forum and NACCHO responses to recent questions generated in the optional essential services teleconferences are posted under the Questions for NACCHO discussion board.
