Public health impact can be hard to measure, but accountability is more important than ever in today's funding environment. With skepticism on the rise, it’s not enough to take the moral high ground. You need real numbers to show that you’re doing good – and getting better.

That’s where innovative and practical performance management and quality improvement approaches make the difference.

Ascendient’s PM/QI advisory services help departments establish comprehensive performance management systems with meaningful metrics aligned to strategic priorities and connected to current PHAB requirements. Working with your team to identify key performance indicators that matter to both your community and your funders, we design sustainable data collection processes and quality improvement tools that drive better health outcomes and health department operations.

Whether you’re a small rural health department seeking to establish a basic performance management system or a large agency looking to enhance existing QI processes, we adapt our approach to meet you where you are. The result is a culture of continuous improvement with long-lasting processes that demonstrate the value of your department’s work while advancing your ability to protect and promote community health.
