The COVID-19 Response and NCLHD Accreditation HDSAI Guide highlights potential evidence opportunities related to the COVID-19 response. The guide also includes examples of how local health department are planning to use their COVID-19 response as evidence. Here is an example of how local health departments plan to use their response to COVID-19 as evidence for Accreditation activities:
Activity 25.2 Academic Research & Evaluation of Programs: Transylvania County worked with an MPH student from the University of North Carolina to research best practices for re-opening summer camps amidst COVID-19. (Note: The documentation requirements for this activity indicate that two examples are required. This one example would satisfy half of the requirement.)
If you have an example from your agency’s response to COVID-19 that you would like to share, please email us: NCLHDaccreditation@unc.edu. We look forward to hearing from you!
