PHF helps organizations prioritize challenges and make measurable improvements. Sometimes this requires improving internal processes that result in improved efficiency, effectiveness, and better internal and external customer service. Other times, this requires working with stakeholder collaborative to better understand root causes of health problems, align and refine diverse efforts of stakeholders, and achieve improvements in community health. Whether focusing internally, externally, or both, PHF helps organizations achieve real improvement and impact.
These technical assistance and training services provide facilitation and coaching to public health organizations to aid departments,
agencies, boards, divisions and their community and healthcare partners in implementing performance management, quality improvement (QI), and workforce development. All of these services are facilitated on-site by PHF's experts.
There are three ways to review our on-site and remote services:
