Alignment from result to Performance Measures

B. Pudlin presented an RBA overview

  • There must to be alignment from the Quality of Life statement all the way through the process.
  • Each layer of the process reflects back to the previous level.
  • Strategies are defined at the population level.
  • Actions are taken at the systems level.

 

Performance Measures are ways of measuring the effectiveness of a set of actions. Confidence in Performance Measures is based on:

    Who is at the table?

    How commonly understandable are the measures?

    How specific are the measures?

 

 

 

 

J. Goldman asked where we should be three months from now?

 

 

B. Pudlin suggested we will need to have identified:

   Result statement, indicators, and strategic areas.

   High-level strategies for each strategic area.

   Partners, Resources and programs.

·         In one or two strategic areas maybe go below strategies to sub-strategies, actions and performance areas.

   Governance – How we intend to pull our partners together into a

    Service delivery system.

 

B. Pudlin suggested system development measures might be more critical to us right now.

 

 

 

The plan will need to define some governance system for partners. To what extent, formally or informally, will the partners interact to see that the plan is implemented? We will need a Memorandum of Understanding among partners.

We will need to bring critical partners together and have them agree to the strategies.

 

 

The June 30 report will be like a snapshot. The terms of the grant say we need to report where we are in the process. The plan does not have to be completed by then. It should not be forced in order to be completed by June 30.

Performance Measures

Using Health Indicators B. Pudlin led us in an exercise to develop performance measures.
