“…Although much PHSSR research had historically been based in the US, PHSSR is gaining strength in Canada, notably through the Core Public Health Functions Research Initiative in British Columbia, which has led to the development of a Canadian PHSSR agenda and to several interprovincial research projects. 5,6 Improving performance should be a key goal of any public health systems reform. Performance is a multifaceted concept: in Table 1, we adapt Handler and colleagues' public health performance framework 7 in order to summarize elements and dimensions of performance often reported in the PHSSR literature, notably productivity, effectiveness, efficiency and equity.…”

Over the next decade, public health agencies and researchers have proposed different ways of articulating these functions into practice-based measurements, including the 10 organizational practices of public health (15), the Miller/ Turnock 20 (54), and the Essential Public Health Services (EPHS) (8).…”
