PHACT is currently working with the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) to review and comment on the draft Beta test accreditation process and materials. PHACT is holding three 2010 "Think Tank" meetings on May 12, June 11 and July 23 to solicit input from small, medium and large local health departments on the feasibility of meeting the Accreditation requirements, including the Local Standards and Measurements Self Assessment Tool. PHACT will submit written comments to the PHAB noting potential changes to the Beta test process and materials. [POSTED 6/2/2010]
