*Correlation analysis revealed that there is a comparatively weak relationship between having performance targets,performance measures or performance reports and process for quality improvement (QI)/change. That is, in general,
fewer states indicated that they did have a process for change, even though they indicated having performance targets,performance measures, or performance reports. This was the case for all areas of performance management studied
(Human Resource Development, Data & Information Systems, Customer Focus and Satisfaction, Financial Systems,
Management Practices, Public Health Capacity, and Health Status). Figure 5 illustrates this finding.
