Accreditation

The 2012 Legislative Committee on Public Health Futures report recommended that all local health districts shall meet Public Health Accredita-

tion Board (PHAB) eligibility within five years. Recognizing the benefits of PHAB accreditation, the 130th General Assembly in 2013 codified

the authority for the Director of Health to require all local health districts to apply for accreditation by 2018 and to become accredited by 2020.

Requiring Ohio's local health districts to become accredited by PHAB will demonstrate that they are meeting or exceeding a common set of na-

tional standards; have the capacity to provide core public health services; and are continually striving to improve service, value, and accountabil-

ity to stakeholders.

Ohio Revised Code Sec. 3701.13: As a condition precedent to receiving funding from the department of health, the director of health may re-

quire general or city health districts to apply for accreditation by July 1, 2018, and be accredited by July 1, 2020 by an accreditation body ap-

proved by the director. The director of health, by July 1, 2016, shall conduct an evaluation of general and city health district preparation for ac-

creditation, including an evaluation of each district's reported public health quality indicators as provided in section 3701.98 of the Revised Code.

Our department continues to work toward the accreditation requirements as set by the above actions.

level. In recent years, there has been an emphasis on planning for ra-

diological events and coordinating emergency plans between all health-

care providers within Shelby County.

health emergencies. This means being able to sustain yourself and your

family for 72 hours before help may arrive. Visit www.ready.gov to

Environmental Health The Environmental Health division had another busy year protecting

public health in Shelby County with the various environmental pro-

grams. The potential of food-borne illness was reduced by inspections

made of licensed facilities that sell food. Water supplies were protected

by inspections made on household sewage treatment and private water

systems. Some of the other programs such as campground, manufac-

tured home park, public swimming pools/spas, school and plumbing

programs helped to ensure the well-being of county residents. Many

nuisance and solid waste problems were abated. Time was dedicated to

disaster planning and disease control activities. Public places and places

of employment were investigated to ensure compliance with the Smoke

Free Workplace Law. Radon awareness information and test kit coupons

are provided to the public. Anyone having questions for the environ-

mental division is encouraged to call.

the statewide birth record database maintained by the Ohio Department of

Health. With statewide access, individuals may obtain certified copies of an

Ohio birth record from their local health department regardless of the county

where the birth occurred. Certified birth certificates are issued for many legal

purposes from obtaining social security numbers to driver’s licenses. Death

certificates are needed for insurance claims and to change social security

benefits after death. Birth and death records can assist in genealogy research.

Statistical examination for epidemiological purposes can also be done, assist-

ing in community assessment activities. Birth and death certificates can be

obtained in person, by mail, or by phone with credit card payment.
