The Relationship Between Quality Improvement and Health Information Technology Use in Local Health Departments: The study examined the relationship between engagement in quality improvement (QI) and health information technology (HIT) for local health departments (LHDs). The results suggest a connection and provide information on LHD HIT use and the impact of data use to support evidence-based decision making.

Developed from the Core Competencies for Public Health Professionals and the Core Competencies for Performance Improvement Managers, the Competencies for Performance Improvement Professionals in Public Health are a set of skills desirable for performance improvement (PI) professionals working in public health. As part of the process of developing these competencies, a set of resources and tools related to a draft version of the competencies was collected to help support the development of skills and knowledge for PI professionals. Please note: These resources and tools were gathered based on a draft of the PI Competencies. Although this list of competencies does not reflect the complete set of PI Competencies, the resources and tools available can offer a starting point for exploring resources in this area.
