Health Performance Measurement in the Public Sector is the second of two books for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on using and improving performance measurement in publicly funded health programs and the implications for data needs and systems.

This book focuses on data and information system issues at the federal, state, and local levels. Recommendations address:

• Operational principles related to data and data systems that support performance measurement.
• Essential investments in data systems and in training and technical assistance.
