Performance Measures
Background:
MCHB developed 37 national performance measures and several program performance measures across
many maternal and child public health areas. The performance measures are assigned by the MCHB programs based on the applicability of the
performance measures to the current program. For each assigned performance measure, the grantees
provide annual objectives and annually report the indicators against these objectives. This
reporting allows grantees and MCHB to track progress in achieving their goals.
Performance measures are either percentage-based or scale-based measures. Percentage-based measures
use numerators and denominators to generate the annual indicator, while scale-based measures use data
collection forms to generate the annual indicator.
Instructions:
Performance measures may be viewed by the specific performance measure or the programs reporting on a
performance measure. Select either performance measure or program to view the performance measure data.
