Ron Bialek, MPP, CQIA, President and CEO of the Public Health Foundation, introduced expanding array of tools and resources to improve health department quality and performance, and build the skills and competence of the public health workforce. Mr. Bialek also looked at the history and use of the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals. He discussed how QI and Core Competencies fit with accreditation.
