Public Health Performance Management System

Performance management is a systematic process by which an organization involves its employees in improving the effectiveness of the organization, while also achieving the organization’s mission and strategic goals.

By improving performance and quality, public health systems can save lives, cut costs, and get better results. Performance management enables health departments to be more efficient, effective, transparent, and accountable.

The performance management model used by Oneida Community Health Services Department (OCHSD) was developed by the Turning Point National Excellence Collaborative on Performance Management.

According to the Public Health Foundation, performance management is the “practice of actively using performance data to improve the public’s health.”
