Monitoring and evaluation are how we make sure we are delivering on the promise of data to protect America’s health.
The need for modernization never stops. Within DMI, we are monitoring progress on a growing suite of modernization projects. These investments touch nearly every part of the public health data ecosystem.illustrative imageMonitoring and evaluation are key to realizing the full potential of public health **data modernization**.We monitor and evaluate for two equally important reasons:
**ACCOUNTABILITY + CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT**
diagram - monitoring + evaluation frameworkThe 6 continuous steps in the DMI Monitoring and Evaluation framework are:
Track our progress consistently and scientifically
Understand what each of our investments produced
Modernize our future impacts on public health
See early and quickly which solutions are working well
Identify when projects need support to reach their goals
Find the best solutions and expand on them**How it works:** A deeper dive into DMI Evaluation
Our monitoring and evaluation framework uses specific data about each DMI project to answer important questions at every step of the way.
**ARE OUR INVESTMENTS GETTING THE RIGHT RESULTS?**What will we do and how will we do it? Project Overview; Activities; Outputs: What can we expect from each project? Expected Outcomes; Outcome Measures; Continuous Improvement and Accountability: How are we doing (and are we on track)?**MONITORING & EVALUATION DATA**ANSWER BIGGER QUESTIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH, SUCH AS:
**How is CDC using DMI-related investments?**Look at the overview and activities for each project
