Route Fifty Article on Measurement

Using Measurement to Inform an Equitable, Aligned COVID-19 Recovery

View Publication

This article, published in Route Fifty, discusses how policymakers and leaders can use measurement to help systems work towards more equitable health outcomes by disaggregating data to identify inequities; partnering with communities to identify actionable metrics; and balancing decision-making among stakeholders.

The recommendations are a result of examining how measurement—the process of making sense of data through metrics—supports efforts to align health care, public health, and human services towards more equitable outcomes. The authors reviewed more than 40 such efforts and talked with stakeholders about what works and what doesn’t.
