Performance Management Practices in States: The Evidence and the Issues
The Performance Management Collaborative, comprised of seven Turning Point states and several national partner organizations, has been funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for a four-year project to develop feasible models to state-level performance management in public health. As its initial step, the Collaborative has contracted with the Public Health Foundation to conduct a one-year baseline assessment of current performance management practices in states. All states will be surveyed in 2001. Preliminary findings of this assessment will be presented. Panelists will discuss implications of the findings for new directions and models for state public health practice, for the National Public Health Performance Standards Program, and for public health practice research.
Learning Objectives: Presentation of preliminary findings of a survey of states regarding different approaches to management of public health performance. Discussion of implications of findings for national public health performance standards, public health practice research, and state-level public health practice.
