Public health performance management systems organized as quality improvement cycles
Learning Areas:
Administration, management, leadershipPublic health administration or related administration
Public health or related organizational policy, standards, or other guidelines
Systems thinking models (conceptual and theoretical models), applications related to public health
Learning Objectives:
Define “performance management” and “performance management systems.”
Explain how “performance management” must be developed into a continually repeated cycle of measured results fed back into decision making to become a “performance management system."
Describe how Quality Improvement (QI) can provide a framework for a performance management system by using the Plan-Do-Check-Act “PDCA” Cycle of QI (also called Plan-Do-Study-Act) as the basis for an entire health department’s performance management system.
Explain how this approach can pull together the fundamental assessment, planning, QI, and performance management requirements for public health accreditation in one system.
Discuss how “operational QI” of specific processes and practices can be integrated into a larger-scale PDCA-based performance management system for managing overall department performance consistent with priorities of a health improvement plan and strategic plan within budget constraints.
Describe how collaborative planning and health improvement approaches, such as NACCHO’s MAPP and the Community Balanced Scorecard, can be integrated into a QI-based performance management system.
Compare how different state and local public health agencies are beginning to use this approach to develop or improve their performance management systems.

Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have been engaged by the Public Health Foundation to develop the performance management system model I will present and to provide related training and technical assistance to health departments. I received a lifetime achievement award in "performance measurement practice" from the American Society for Public Administration for my 30+ years of advancing performance management. I have assisted numerous state & local health agencies & partnerships in strategy development they can use for performance management.
