Developing Performance Management Systems at the State and Local Level
Developing Performance Management Systems at the State and Local Level
Monday, November 4, 2013: 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Oral
Technology has become integral to everyday life, yet it is not always applied effectively to public health. Many health departments do not have the ability to track dozens or hundreds of public health indicators or to analyze them according to any number of temporal, geographic, and demographic variables. The speakers in this session will share their experiences with developing performance management systems that facilitate tracking and analyzing of public health information in these contexts. They will also discuss strategies for selecting individual performance measures and data points to build into a performance management system, and describe how those performance measures can be used to inform evaluation at both the program and organizational levels.
Session Objectives: •Define “performance management system” and distinguish it from “performance measurement”
•List three uses for information maintained in performance management systems
•Interpret at least one type of information display used by a performance management system
