Performance report

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A performance report is a report on the performance of something.[1] They are routinely produced by government bodies which, being financed by public money, are required to show that the money was spent efficiently and usefully.[2] Such reports will contain performance indicators which measure the achievements of the organisation and its programmes. For example, for a police department, the report might show the number of arrests, number of convictions by crime category and the change in the crime rate.[3]

Health care[edit]

In the Clinton health care plan of 1993, it seemed that performance reports for hospitals and other health care providers would be national policy and many prototypes were developed and tested.[4]
