Document Review Panel (DRP)

This group of eight ADPH staff reviews documentation prepared by the ALT as if they were assessing the documentation like a PHAB Site Visitor. These staff have received training from PHAB and are prepared to provide feedback to help strengthen documentation and the process used to prepare it.

Accreditation Coordinator

ADPH is contracting with Ascendient Healthcare, Inc. to provide comprehensive support in meeting the Public Health Accreditation Board's (PHAB's) reaccreditation objectives, aiming to achieve successful reaccreditation by 2030.
