PATCH – How It Compares
Similarities:
 Community-based
 Data driven
 Looks to increase
community
capacity
Differences:
 Focus on health
promotion and
traditional health
 Not systems based
 Uses a typical
health assessment
approach
 Not based on 10
EPHS
Performance Measurement

Is progress being made toward
desired goals?

Are appropriate activities being
undertaken to promote
achieving those goals?
Performance Measurement



What are our priority
issues?
What are the existing
reporting requirements?
What measures do other
local agencies have to
report on?
What to Measure



Capacities
Processes
Outcomes
Design Criteria for
Performance Measurement








Public contact information?
Community/ stakeholder involvement process?
Governance process?
Policies/ protocols/ procedures for services?
Program Plan/ goals/ objectives/ evaluation?
Key indicators of performance, tracking, &
reporting?

Performance Measurement
Pitfalls





Too many measures
Measurement time frames too long (the
population-based health outcome measure)
Measure process rather than outcome (“plan to
plan”)
Applied in silos rather than systems
Marginal approach, not related to core business
Performance Measurement
Limitations
Need long-term vision, objectives, and
indicators of performance in order to
provide appropriate direction for agency
plans and measures.
