From the standpoint of public health as a field, the focus is always on the population. It has, therefore, not been a great leap for us to incorporate a new tool which helps us track data and make decisions with regard to all of our major strategic initiatives and across all sectors. The Scorecard is an integral part of our ability to display and share across our network and assists programs to gauge their own progress towards achieving our population goals. The Scorecard also aligns well within the RBA framework we utilize to prompt data-driven decision-making. We encourage all of our program managers and leaders to use the Scorecard to help them make decisions – using the data and the narrative to tell their story – and, as a web-based solution, the Scorecard provides an opportunity to communicate consistently with partners – in and out of the state government.

Clear Impact is very invested in the outcome of what we’re trying to accomplish, in us being successful. And the software is geared for the not-for-profit sector. Not all software is. It is quite intuitive. It is almost too simple to be true.
