The National Public Health Performance Standards Program is a collaborative effort to 1) develop performance standards for public health systems under the framework of the essential public health services, 2) collect and analyze performance data, and 3) improve system wide performance. Comprehensive measurement tools for assessing performance at the state and local levels have been developed in partnership with other national public health organizations including APHA, ASTHO, NACCHO, NALBOH, and PHF. During Part I of this presentation, an overview of the development of the measurement tools will be given along with a status report on program implementation.. The national association partners will outline the processes taken to get to this point, the challenges, advantages and changes that were necessary based on the pilot and field testing that was undertaken. Early finding from Florida will be used to illustrate how the performance measures correlate with health status outcomes and health status measures.
