Maine CDC submitted its Statement
of Intent to apply for national Public Health Accreditation on Dec. 5. The
Statement of Intent is the last official step before Maine CDC applies for
Accreditation in early 2014.
In November, Maine CDC's
Accreditation Coordinator presented during a session titled Preparing for Accreditation: Readiness
Review and Other Lessons from Maine at the American Public Health
Association (APHA) annual conference. The presentation showcased
efforts in Maine to build accreditation support, assess Maine CDC's readiness,
and address specific gaps in performance through quality improvement
efforts.
