  • Title: Building performance-based accountability with limited empirical evidence: performance measurement for public health preparedness.
    Author: Shelton SR, Nelson CD, McLees AW, Mumford K, Thomas C.
    Journal: Disaster Med Public Health Prep; 2013 Aug; 7(4):373-9. PubMed ID: 24229520.
    Abstract:
    Efforts to respond to performance-based accountability mandates for public health emergency preparedness have been hindered by a weak evidence base linking preparedness activities with response outcomes. We describe an approach to measure development that was successfully implemented in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Public Health Emergency Preparedness Cooperative Agreement. The approach leverages insights from process mapping and experts to guide measure selection, and provides mechanisms for reducing performance-irrelevant variation in measurement data. Also, issues are identified that need to be addressed to advance the science of measurement in public health emergency preparedness.
