:: The National Public Health Performance Standards Programs (NPHPSP) is a valuable tool in identifying areas for system improvement, strengthening state and local partnerships, and assuring that a strong system is in place for effective response to day-to-day public health issues as well as public health emergencies. The NPHPSP assessment is based upon the 10 Essential Public Health Services in order to correctly assess the public health system. The standards of the assessment describe an optimal level of performance (“gold standards”) to assure continuous quality improvement, stimulate greater accomplishment, and provide a level to which all public health systems can aspire to achieve.
Using the NPHPSP and MAPP tools RMTEC intends to help our Tribal partners evaluate the quality and performance of all Tribal community health care by the Tribal Health Departments. After the NPHPSP assessment is completed follow-up meetings are scheduled with each Tribe to develop a strategic plan using the “Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships” (MAPP) tool. The NPHPSP project also helps protect/improve the health of the Tribal community by advancing the Indian Health Services (IHS), State, and County and Tribal health collaborations.
