PHAB 2026 & the VMSG Dashboard
The VMSG Dashboard Public Health Performance Management System takes you well beyond PHAB Domain 9 relating to performance management. With the built-in PHAB Accreditation, Reaccreditation and Pathways Recognition operational plans, you can manage and monitor the complete accreditation processes from start to finish. Every Standard, Measure and Activity can be assigned to a specific team of people including external partners, if desired. Every Activity can be assigned a timeframe for execution, and the Real-Time Planning reminders makes sure that nothing “falls through the cracks”.
The VMSG Dashboard can assist you in implementing many of the requirements of PHAB. PHAB defines their “6-Pack” of required plans throughout the accreditation process. The VMSG Dashboard, at its core, is an operational planning and execution tool. Using the built-in, industry standard operational planning methodology can simplify the development, updating and managing all these plans.
Here are some examples of PHAB requirements facilitated using the VMSG Dashboard:
