Performance Measures 2008: Great New Tools for Delegate Agencies

This spring Title X agencies will begin the important process of collecting and reporting family planning Performance Measures data. Performance measurement goes beyond basic service data to reveal actual performance or results of service.

Compare current SPR data collection:

• number of users and types of methods

With Performance Measure data collection: 

• (CONTRACEPTION 1): 80% of continuing male and female clients continue with any method of contraception for 10-15 months

Performance Measures provide specific information about how your clinic is doing compared to national benchmarks. This information will support agencies in continuing to improve the quality of clinical care related to family planning services.
