Abstract:
Oregon is taking major steps toward monitoring health and nonhealth issues through the use of an outcome-based management approach called Benchmarks. Developed through a lengthy statewide consensus-building process, there are currently 272 goals, or Benchmarks, for the years 1995, 2000, and 2010, of which 54 are health related.
