Proposed Project
National Public Health Performance Standards Program Local Public
Health System Assessment (OMB 0920-0555)--Revision--Office of Chief of
Public Health Practice (OCPHP), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Office of Chief of Public Health Practice is proposing to
revise the formal, voluntary data collection that assesses the capacity
of local public health systems to deliver the essential services of
public health. Local health departments will respond to the survey on
behalf of the collective body of representatives from the local public
health system. Electronic data submission will be used when local
public health agencies complete the public health assessment.
A three-year approval is being sought with the revised data
collection instrument. The original data collection instrument has been
valuable in assessing performance and capacity and identifying areas
for improvement. It is anticipated that the updated data collection
instrument will be voluntarily used by local public health systems for
similar purposes.
From 1998-2002, the National Public Health Performance Standards
Program convened workgroups with the National Association of County and
City Health Officials (NACCHO), The Association of State and
Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), the National Association of Local
Boards of Health (NALBOH), the American Public Health Association
(APHA), and the Public Health Foundation (PHF) to develop performance
standards for public health systems based on the essential services of
public health. In 2005, CDC reconvened workgroups with these same
organizations to revise the data collection instruments, in order to
ensure the standards remain current and improve user friendliness. The
total estimated annualized burden hours are 5600.
