5. Core Competencies for Public HealthProfessionals: Core Competencies for Public HealthProfessionals Report Competencies for PerformanceImprovement Professionals in PublicHealth Quad Council Coalition’s 2018Community/Public Health NursingCompetencies
The Council on LinkagesBetween Academia andPublic Health PracticeCore Competencies for Public Health Professionals ReportJuly 16, 2018OverviewThe Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals (Core Competencies) reflectfoundational skills desirable for professionals engaged in the practice, education, and researchof public health and are used in education, training, and other workforce development activitiesacross the country. The current version of the Core Competencies was released by the Councilon Linkages Between Academia and Public Health Practice (Council) in June 2014. Councilefforts related to the Core Competencies are guided by the Core Competencies Workgroup,which has more than 90 members representing a variety of practice and academicorganizations and interests within the public health field.Core Competencies UseThe Core Competencies continue to be widely used within public health workforce development.Since release of the current version of the Core Competencies in 2014, the Core Competencieshave been accessed online more than 180,000 times, and resources and tools designed tosupport implementation of the Core Competencies have been accessed online more than510,000 times. Recent data from the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials andNational Association of County and City Health Officials show that approximately 80% of statehealth departments and 45% of local health departments are using the Core Competencies.Tools to support this use continue to be a focus, with a competency assessment based on themodified version of the Core Competencies released last year currently under development.Work also continues to better highlight how organizations are using the Core Competencies. Aredesign of a section of the Council website to highlight these stories and examples isunderway, and additional stories and examples to feature on the Council website are welcomeand may be sent to Kathleen Amos at kamos@phf.org.Healthy People 2030The Core Competencies are integrated into three objectives within the Public HealthInfrastructure (PHI) topic area of Healthy People 2020. These objectives focus on the use of theCore Competencies in public health agency job descriptions and performance evaluations,continuing education, and academic curricula. Planning is currently underway for HealthyPeople 2030, and earlier this year, Council staff met with the team working on the PHI topicarea to offer input into PHI objectives. Work toward determining objectives is still in process, butit is anticipated that Healthy People 2030 will include many fewer objectives than HealthyPeople 2020. As work to develop Healthy People 2030 continues, a public comment period willoffer an opportunity to provide addition input into the objectives. The Council will be informedwhen that public comment period opens, which is likely to be toward the end of this year.New Competencies ReleasedIn addition to supporting development of foundational, or cross-cutting, skills for professionalsworking in public health, the Core Competencies support the development of discipline-specificcompetency sets. A variety of competency sets have drawn on the Core Competencies and theexpertise of Council staff and Core Competencies Workgroup members in their developmentand implementation. For example, within the past two years, Council staff and CoreCompetencies Workgroup members have engaged in efforts related to the Competencies forPerformance Improvement Professionals in Public Health, Competencies for Population HealthProfessionals, Competencies Guidelines for Public Health Laboratory Professionals, Including1
People with Disabilities: Public Health Workforce Competencies, and Legal EpidemiologyCompetency Model. Additional competency sets that draw on the Core Competencies includethe Community/Public Health Nursing Competencies, Competencies for AppliedEpidemiologists in Governmental Public Health Agencies, Competencies for Health EducationSpecialists, and Competencies for Public Health Informaticians.Competencies for Performance Improvement Professionals in Public HealthThe Competencies for Performance Improvement Professionals in Public Health (PICompetencies), a set of skills desirable for performance improvement (PI) professionals workingin public health, were developed to offer additional guidance in PI for public health professionalswith responsibilities related to developing or implementing plans and activities in the areas ofquality improvement, performance management, workforce development, accreditationreadiness, or community health assessment and improvement planning. Released in June 2018by the Public Health Foundation, these competencies are based on and align with the CoreCompetencies, and can be used along with the Core Competencies to help guide workforcedevelopment for PI professionals. To support public health professionals and organizations inusing the PI Competencies, a supplemental resource that presents the PI Competencies alongwith a list of competencies from the Core Competencies that may be especially relevant for PIprofessionals was also developed. Work on this competency set and related resource wasguided by the Performance Improvement Competencies Subgroup of the Core CompetenciesWorkgroup, which includes more than 80 members.Community/Public Health Nursing CompetenciesThe Quad Council Coalition of Public Health Nursing Organizations recently released the 2018Community/Public Health Nursing (C/PHN) Competencies, which were updated to align with thecurrent version of the Core Competencies, as well as a variety of other related nursingcompetencies. The C/PHN Competencies use the same eight domains and three-tier structureas the Core Competencies. The C/PHN Competencies reflect the unique competencies requiredfor the practice of public health nursing and can be used by public health nurses from entrylevel to senior management/leadership in a variety of practice settings.More information about the Core Competencies and Core Competencies activities is availablethrough the Core Competencies section of the Council website or by contacting Kathleen Amosat kamos@phf.org.2
