The Public Health in Indian Country Capacity Scan (PHICCS) is a national scan, to be conducted every three years by NIHB. The purpose of PHICCS is to assess the capacity of Tribal health and Tribal public health organizations for delivering public health services. This important tool helps Tribes, Tribal organizations, partners and policy makers better understand Tribal public health infrastructure and plan for future improvements.
