AB  - BACKGROUND: Public health officials must frequently demonstrate the quality and 
      value of public health services, especially during challenging fiscal climates. 
      One of the ways that public health quality and accountability have been 
      demonstrated is through the use of accreditation and standard setting 
      initiatives. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this analysis was to identify existing 
      alignment opportunities between standards established by the Public Health 
      Accreditation Board (PHAB) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 
      (CDC's) public health preparedness (PHP) capabilities in order to optimize and 
      leverage the connections for state and local public health professionals. DESIGN: 
      During March-May 2012, a PHAB/PHP crosswalk was developed by a research team from 
      the CDC's Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support and Office of 
      Public Health Preparedness and Response's Division of State and Local Readiness 
      to examine the intersection of the PHP capabilities and the PHAB standards. The 
      PHAB/PHP crosswalk used the CDC Public Health Preparedness Capabilities: National 
      Standards for State and Local Planning (PHP Capabilities) and the PHAB Standards 
      and Measures, Version 1.0 (PHAB Standards) as its source documents. To help 
      illustrate the results of the crosswalk, alignment was also depicted through a 
      network graph to transform the results into a visual depiction of the linkages 
      between PHP capabilities and PHAB standards. RESULTS: The most direct links to 
      emergency preparedness were found in PHAB Domains 2 and 5. Opportunities for 
      improved alignment were found throughout the standard documents, particularly in 
      PHAB Domains 3, 8, and 11. The most direct links to accreditation were found in 
      PHP capabilities 1, 2, 3, and 4. CONCLUSIONS: The results highlight the synergy 
      between the infrastructure and foundational elements represented by accreditation 
      and targeted programmatic activities supported by preparedness funding.
