The Surry County Health and Nutrition Center is planning to use staff attendance at the Accreditation Origin Story webinar provided by the NCLHDA Program as evidence for meeting Activity 16.1. The webinar, presented by Dr. Jill Moore, Associate Professor of Public Law and Government, UNC School of Government and Virginia Niehaus, Director of Regulatory and Legal Affairs, at the N.C. Division of Public Health, provides a detailed explanation of the regulatory requirements of the NCLHD Accreditation Program. It provided a step-by-step explanation of aspects of the program that are under legislative control and those that are under programmatic control. According to Emily Mayes, AAC, “using this webinar shows how we are training staff to better understand the legal requirements of the Accreditation Program. The webinar is also helpful for getting leadership ready for the upcoming changes of the HDSAI Interpretation Document Revisions.”
The webinar recording is posted on the NCLHDA Website.
Note: The NCLHD Accreditation Program does not have the authority to determine what evidence meets the requirements of an activity. However, the program can share examples of what local health departments are submitting as evidence.
