Proposed Project
National Public Health Performance Standards Program State Public
Health System Assessment (OMB 0920-0557)--Revision--Office of the
Director (OD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Office of the Director is proposing to revise the currently
approved National Public Health Performance Standards Program State
Public Health System Assessment. The formal, voluntary data collection
that assesses the capacity of state public health systems to deliver
the essential services of public health. Electronic data submission
will be used when state health departments 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
[[Page 24589]]
assessing performance and capacity and identifying areas for
improvement. It is anticipated that the updated data collection
instrument will be voluntarily used by states for similar purposes.
From 1998-2002, the CDC 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.
There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours are 96.
