What are proven and promising practices?
Proven Practices: Successful programs or processes implemented in a local health agency or Division of Public Health (DPH) section which have quantitative data to show their effectiveness across multiple agencies or sections. These practices are highly likely to be effective in your setting if implemented consistently.
Promising Practices: Successful programs or processes implemented in a local health agency or DPH section which currently do NOT have quantitative data to show their effectiveness across multiple agencies or sections. However, they have qualitative or quantitative data suggesting their effectiveness in one local agency or section. These practices could be effective in your setting, but their effectiveness should be evaluated closely before full implementation.
Below is information about programs that have been successful in local health departments across North Carolina. Please use and adapt these evidence-based practices as you begin incorporating quality improvement into your organization.
