Performance Improvement and Management System (PIMS)
OMH's Performance Improvement and Management System (PIMS) is designed to help OMH managers and staff, our grantees and partners, and other stakeholders improve the quality of planning, implementation, and evaluation of the programs being funded. By being more strategic and systematic in how we plan, conduct, and evaluate our programs and projects, we will be better able to identify the results of our individual and collective efforts to improve racial/ethnic minority health and address health disparities.

Performance Measures

OMH is building a searchable performance measures database that could be used to identify and select indicators of outcomes, impacts, and other results expected from interventions funded by OMH, its partners, and other stakeholders. Available in 2010.
