When seeking accreditation by the
Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), many organizations are challenged by
Standards and Measures under Domain 9:
Improve and innovate public health functions through ongoing evaluation, research, and continuous quality improvement. This includes Measure 9.1.1:
Establish a performance mangagement system, and Measure 9.1.2:
Implement the performance management system.
In practice, performance management means actively using data to improve performance, including the strategic use of performance standards, measures, progress reports, and ongoing quality improvement efforts to ensure an agency achieves desired results. With the right tools and resources, organizational integration of performance management and quality improvement is possible.
The Public Health Foundation (PHF) supports accreditation preparation efforts in the area of performance management through:
Assisting organizations to track their coursework on the
TRAIN Learning Network, including many highly-rated performance management trainings
These key performance management resources can support your organization’s efforts to achieve PHAB accreditation.
