- Make a difference in everything we do
About this measure |
This measure provides updates on major milestones and anticipated next steps associated with efforts related to the development and implementation of outcome-based contracting at Cuyahoga County. Updates are provided by the Cuyahoga County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Why is this important? |
Cuyahoga County is committed to addressing community needs through programs and services that achieve positive community outcomes. Due to the County’s limited resources, investment should be made in programs that are effective, scalable, and accessible to all in need. With many programs administered through contracts with community agencies, the County is moving toward outcome-based contracting by including performance measures in County contracts.
How are we making an impact? | |
The County is piloting the use of outcome-based contracting in contracts administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. Based on the results of this pilot the County will determine how to rollout this model to the rest of the organization.
