Polk County Dashboard
Iowa Balance of State Dashboard
DESCRIPTION
The Iowa Balance of State COC in cooperation with the Polk County Iowa COC and ICA developed the Performance Measures Dashboard. Measures are run on a quarterly basis. The report is dynamic and responsive. Most displayed values have toggles and switches to set parameters. The report was implemented as a Tableau dashboard, providing access to the whole of the continuum membership and community statkeholders.
The response from the committee, the CoC board and the community has been universally positive. This work continues to support real and actionable policy direction within the CoCs.
