What is the benefit of having my documents reviewed?
The document review process utilizes a checklist consisting of required elements within selected PHAB prerequisite documents. While not a quality check, this review is helpful to determine whether required elements are missing or unable to be easily located.
Who is reviewing my documents?
Reviewers are Center for Public Health Practice (CPHP) staff and contracted consultants who are themselves PHAB site reviewers and/or have documented expertise within a specific prerequisite area. All reviewers are trained, via the CPHP, in the use of the review checklists and the document review process. The CPHP conducts reliability checks on documents in order to insure all reviews are completed in a consistent manner.
Can I speak to the individual who reviewed my document?
No local health department will be provided with reviewer information. Communication regarding a review or the review process should be directed to the CPHP via the CPH-Practice@osu.edu.
Do I need to upload my documents to the Ohio Health Department Profile and Performance Database (OPPD)?
The Ohio Department of Health requests that you upload the most current versions of your prerequisite documents to the OPPD. However, this does not impact your document review with the accreditation support project. In order to have your documents reviewed you must send the document, via email, to CPH-Practice@osu.edu.
