AB  - With the launching of the national public health accreditation program under the 
      auspices of the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), health department 
      momentum around quality improvement adoption has accelerated. Domain 9 of the 
      PHAB standards (one of 12 domains) focuses on evaluation and improvement of 
      performance and is acting as a strong driver for quality improvement and 
      performance management implementation within health departments. Widespread 
      adoption of quality improvement activities in public health trails that in other 
      US sectors. Several performance management models have received broad acceptance, 
      including models among government and nonprofits. A model specifically for public 
      health has been developed and is presented herein. All models in current use 
      reinforce customer focus; streamlined, value-added processes; and strategic 
      alignment. All are structured to steer quality improvement efforts toward 
      organizational priorities, ensuring that quality improvement complements 
      performance management. High-performing health departments harness the synergy of 
      quality improvement and performance management, providing powerful tools to 
      achieve public health strategic imperatives.
