#PHAB has several tools that can be used to gather data related to the delivery of foundational activities including the #FPHS Capacity & Cost Assessment, #Workforce Calculator, and Readiness Assessment. These tools can be used independently or together to assess the landscape of FPHS in a community, assess capacity (staffing/expertise) and cost associated with the delivery of foundational activities, and establish estimates of future capacity and cost needs.
