Promising Practices: A Companion Guide for Principles to Advance Equity through Shared Measurement

View Report

This guide helps partners have open discussions about roles and how to promote equitable involvement of all who have a stake in the shared measurement effort.

Shared measurement can shift mindsets, policies, and practices to drive alignment toward equitable health and well-being. It can also rebalance power around priority setting, resource sharing, decision making, and accountability.

This guide is intended for partners in cross-systems programs. These partners include:

  • Organizations such as government agencies, local anchor institutions such as hospitals or schools, or independent entities
  • Community members and community-based organizations (community can be co-defined by program partners); and
  • Organizations that sponsor or pay for these kinds of programs.
