Performance Measures

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department measures the effectiveness of its programs by tracking various measures in its programs' purview. A report is provided to the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Board each quarter. Measuring performance is a key part of quality improvement and becoming an accredited public health department.

The 10 Essential Public Health Services are described as the core functions of public health. These services serve as performance standards for a national public health accreditation system. As we prepare for accreditation locally, we have begun to think of our work using this national framework rather than a more programmatic approach.
