A Selection of Health-Oriented Collaboration Measurement Frameworks: Elements for Consideration in a Cross-Sector Alignment Measurement System

This report reviews a diverse set of existing health collaboration measurement frameworks to identify useful elements that may be included in a cross-sector aligning framework.

The measurement frameworks reviewed were chosen for their differing approaches to measurement on the assumption that more could be learned from examining a variety of measurement styles. They include:

• The Pathways Community HUB Institute: The PCHI Community HUB Certification Program
• Well Being in the Nation Network: The WIN Measurement Framework
• Mathematica: An Evaluation of the DASH All In Community Collaboratives
• Community Commons: The Seven Vital Conditions for Well-Being Framework

Aligning Systems for Health: Health Care + Public Health + Social Services, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and managed by the Georgia Health Policy Center, is focused on learning from stakeholders across the nation about effective ways to align these three sectors to better meet people’s goals and needs.
