• Description:
  The National Public Health Performance Standards (NPHPS) instruments help users answer questions such as, “How well are we ensuring that the essential public health services are being provided in our system?” and with the governance instrument, “How can we as a governing body better ensure that we are contributing as much as possible to the essential public health services being met in our jurisdiction?” This discussion helps identify strengths and weaknesses within the governing body and ways that public health services can be more effectively coordinated. In addition, the results from this Assessment provide a better understanding of the governing body’s performance in key areas. This information helps decision makers make more effective policy, program, and resource decisions to improve the public’s health.
