The mission of LMPHW is to promote health and wellness; prevent disease, illness, and injury; and protect the health and safety of metro Louisville residents and visitors.
Performance Improvement Summary
LMPHW started its formal continuous improvement journey in 2012. Per the Greater Louisville Project’s report, Louisville then ranked 10th amongst 15 peer cities in health outcomes. Cuts in federal, state, and local general funds as well as changes in the public landscape made continuous improvement a must. We added Quality Improvement Coordinators and two epidemiologists. With a strong understanding of our current health as a community, we developed the Healthy Louisville 2020 plan and set a goal to increase Louisville's health ranking among 15 peer cities to the top half by 2020 and the top third by 2030. We also established key performance indicators (KPIs) that would allow us to measure our internal performance:
Additional Performance Improvements include:
Adult cigarette smoking has dropped from 32.1% to 25.71%, exceeding our goal of 29% by 2020.
