The Institute of Medicine provides an excellent guide, Improving Health in the Community* that describes the use of community indicators and performance monitoring to improve community health. The guide also provides tools to help communities develop their own performance indicators. CDC's Healthy Days Measures are included among the IOM's suggested community performance indicators.
Below are links to several state and county health departments, and several private and nonprofit organizations that have used CDC's Healthy Days Measures as community health status indicators.
