PUBLIC HEALTH ACCREDITATION BOARD: FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH “DOING A REALLY EXCELLENT JOB” WITH COVID-19 DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS
Tallahassee, Fla. – Last night,
Miami Herald published a report by Sarah Blaskey and Ben Conarck with a misleading headline that misrepresented the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) evaluation of the Florida Department of Health (DOH) collection, analysis, and reporting of the state’s COVID-19 data. Several reporters and commentators shared the article on social media.
