Newly Available Online Performance Improvement Resource for the Public Health Community
 The Competencies for Performance Improvement Professionals in Public Health are a set of skills desirable for performance improvement professionals working in public health. These draft competencies may be useful for activities such as developing job descriptions and performance objectives, conducting performance reviews and evaluations, and creating workforce training plans.
To support the work of performance improvement professionals, the Public Health Foundation (PHF) has collected resources and tools related to each of the 14 performance improvement competencies. These resources and tools from PHF and national partners are sorted by competency and can be used for a variety of performance improvement initiatives and activities. Not sure if these competencies and resources apply to you? Find out if you are a performance improvement professional and how you can provide us with your feedback or suggest resources to add to this growing collection.
