Measuring Performance

For institutions like yours that hold dear a social mission, understanding changes in your clients' well-being is essential to demonstrating both outreach to people living in poverty and improvements in their lives. Read about the Health Outcome Performance Indicators (HOPI) and the "Client Outcome Performance (COPE) Indicators Database," that will assist in collection and analysis of the HOPI survey — or the indicators of your choice.
