As public health practitioners, leaders, researchers, and the field overall are focused on seeking ways to intentionally build public health infrastructure and systems and create equitable public health, there’s a desire to learn from peers – what innovations have emerged? What has failed but provided insights? What might other organizations and systems be able to replicate?

To support spreading and scaling innovations, the Public Health National Center for Innovations (PHNCI), a division of the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), is holding an Innovation Webinar Series. This series will feature a variety of speakers, innovators and topics focused on solutions and emerging ideas. In many cases, we’ve diagnosed and assessed what the public health challenges are, and now need to shift our focus to addressing these complex issues in new and different ways.  

Join PHNCI and PHAB for the next webinar in the series:

Exploring the New FPHS Capacity and Cost Assessment | March 16, 2023 | 11:30 – 12:45PM ET

PHNCI, in partnership with the University of Minnesota Center for Public Health Systems, will launch our new Foundational Public Health Services Capacity and Cost Assessment. This tool will support health department and health department systems in understanding their current spending and capacity towards the Foundational Capabilities and Areas, and what costs would look like at full implementation. This can be used as a planning tool to understand gaps in capacity and funding needed to fully provide the FPHS. Register >

Also, review the first two webinars in the series:

• Transforming Public Health through the FPHS: Three state-wide public health systems (Washington, Indiana, and Minnesota) shared their journey in moving towards public health modernization and transformation using the FPHS – working as a state-wide system, intentionally assessing and understanding current costs and capacity, and innovating around service delivery, workforce structures, and more.

• Innovations in Public Sector Workforce and Human Resources Practices: Panelists explored strategies and emerging ideas around leading approaches in hiring and recruitment, updating outdated policies and practices, developing the workforce, and ensuring a focus on equity throughout.
