New Hampshire is one of 16 Lead States in Public Health Quality Improvement that participate in the Multistate Learning Collaborative (MLC-3). The MLC-3, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and managed by the National Network of Public Health Institutes, aims to improve public health services and the health of communities by implementing quality improvement practices. The Community Health Institute/JSI (CHI/JSI), in partnership with the New Hampshire Division of Public Health Services (DPHS), provided training, technical assistance, and tools to three Quality Improvement Learning Teams (QuILTs) comprised of community-level organizations focusing on reducing childhood obesity and improving public health improvement capacity. Through the MLC-3, CHI/JSI also supports preparation for voluntary accreditation of local public health systems through the NH Public Health Regionalization Initiative. State level voluntary accreditation preparedness activities include participation in the internal DPHS Public Health Improvement Team, and the development of a web-based outcomes reporting tool for DPHS-contracting agencies to deliver public health services.
