Abstract
Responding to a 1987 state audit report, the Texas Department of Health began a performance-based objectives project to tie contract funds to local health departments (LHDs) to performance measures. The overall goal of the project is to improve public health practice in Texas. A major focus has been on having regional and LHD program staff develop realistic and measurable outcome and process objectives. Training on the planning and monitoring phases of the health program management cycle has been conducted, with future training planned on the evaluation phase. There are increasing reports on the value of the performance-based objectives processKeywords
