How do you make a metric healthy?

Metrics will be “healthier” if the measurement process recognizes that not everyone experiences health the same way. Funded by the Wisconsin Partnership Program and Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment, our goal is to improve health metrics by:

Understanding how different groups of Wisconsinites are experiencing health, rather than putting all Wisconsinites into a single group
Catalyzing change and implementing interventions to reduce health disparities in partnership with Wisconsin health systems
Working with academic organizations in Wisconsin to create new evidence-based strategies to reduce disparities
