Smart choices are informed by many factors, but what decision factors should carry the day? Using a prioritization matrix takes the guesswork out of this process, and when used by a group, can build consensus on what direction to take. Formulas in the electronic template translate multiple comparison decisions into a prioritized list for action planning. You can do the same calculations on your own, but this template does the math for you. The prioritization matrix is one of many tools included in the Public Health Quality Improvement Encyclopedia.
