How frequently should the establishment profile be updated in the PHIS system?

The establishment profile in the Public Health Information System (PHIS) should be updated monthly to ensure that all information is current and accurate. Regular updates are vital because they reflect the most recent operational data, changes in procedures, or shifts in compliance status, which can significantly impact inspection and food safety measures. Monthly updates allow for quick adjustments to be made in response to regulatory changes, new technologies, or industry shifts, ensuring that the data remains relevant and aids in effective oversight and management. This frequency supports better resource allocation and helps maintain a high standard of food safety within establishments.
