A Review of the New MCHB Performance Measures

Presenters will explain the background inception of the MCHB Performance Measures (PM), what grantees should expect to see when they access the HRSA Electronic Handbooks, and review the elements of each MCHB PM. A review of the PM elements will help grantees to better understand the reporting expectations of the Maternal Child Health Bureau and how instituting these measures may impact future activities planned by EMSC grantees.
