Slide 17. State Snapshots Performance Meters

• Summarize related State-level measures
• With a statistical comparison—State estimates to all-State or regional estimates
• Performance meter score method:
  • Denominator: Total number of measures included
  • Numerator: Number of measures that State is performing better + ½ times the number of measures that the State is performing similarly
• Example:
  • Out of 60 measures: 30 are better, 20 are equal, and 10 are worse than the comparison group
  • Meter score would be: 67 = 100*(30 + ½*20)/60 = 100*40/60
• Range of values (0 � 100):
  • Very weak (0-19), Weak (20-39), Average (40-59), Strong (60-79), Very Strong (80-100)

This slide contains an image of a meter gauging cancer performance measures. The meter is a semicircle segmented into five portions for very weak, weak, average, strong, and very strong. A solid arrow and a dotted arrow are in the "strong" segment.
