Product code: CPM-001

What’s hindering your organization from implementing effective performance management?

While performance management can be an uncomfortable topic in public health, it doesn’t have to be. Implementing performance management is not easy, but it is necessary for organizational and systems improvement.

In this newly-released book, authors Amanda E. McCarty, and Sonja M. Armbruster, and John W. Moran clarify what public health performance management is and is not. They make a strong case for why it is needed to tackle the long-standing health issues plaguing communities and states. In doing so, they advocate for more thoughtful use of the resources already available in your organization - relying on public health leadership to work with well- trained staff to manage your own organizational performance.

If you are a public health leader or employee concerned with maximizing the health impact of scarce resources – you need this book.
