With the launching of the national public health accreditation program under the auspices of the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), health department momentum around quality improvement adoption has accelerated. Domain 9 of the PHAB standards (one of 12 domains) focuses on evaluation and improvement of performance and is acting as a strong driver for quality improvement and performance management implementation within health departments. Widespread adoption of quality improvement activities in public health trails that in other US sectors. Several performance management models have received broad acceptance, including models among government and nonprofits. A model specifically for public health has been developed and is presented herein. All models in current use reinforce customer focus; streamlined, value-added processes; and strategic alignment. All are structured to steer quality improvement efforts toward organizational priorities, ensuring that quality improvement complements performance management. High-performing health departments harness the synergy of quality improvement and performance management, providing powerful tools to achieve public health strategic imperatives.

ResumoO objetivo deste estudo é investigar os temas centrais das pesquisas sobre acreditação. Este trabalho faz uma revisão da literatura sobre a acreditação nos últimos quatro anos e apresenta uma comparação dos resultados com uma revisão anterior, para analisar a evolução das publicações ao longo do tempo. A pesquisa identificou 90 estudos empíricos que examinam tanto os processos quanto os impactos de programas de acreditação. Os artigos foram classificados em nove categorias temáticas, sendo que oito categorias já haviam sido empregadas em estudos anteriores e uma emergiu dessa avaliação, relacionada à sustentabilidade programa de acreditação (n = 10). O número de publicações aumentou nos últimos anos. A maioria dos estudos foram dos Estados Unidos (n = 35) e Austrália (n = 14). Os resultados indicam uma tendência de aumento da colaboração internacional entre os pesquisadores. Na literatura recente, o número de estudos que indicam efeito positivo da acreditação é mais elevado do que o identificado nos trabalhos anteriores de revisão. Os pontos de vista em relação aos impactos financeiros, questões de pesquisa e profissionais de saúde permanecem menos claro. Palavras-chave: Acreditação; Saúde; Qualidade. Ana Maria Saut AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate the core themes of accreditation research. This paper reviews the literature on accreditation in the last four years and compares the findings to a prior research to analyze the evolution of publication over time. The search identified 90 empirical studies examining either the processes or the impacts of accreditation programs. The articles were classified in nine thematic categories, whereas eight were employed by prior studies, one emerged from this review regarding the accreditation program sustainability (n=10). Publications number increased in the last years. The majority of studies were from the United States (n=35) and Australia (n=14). The findings indicate an increasing trend of international collaboration among researches. In the recent literature, the number of studies indicating positive effect of accreditation is higher than prior reviews.
