PQMD / ALIGNED METRICS INITIATIVE
Additional Outcomes Explorer
Current AMI priority indicators and additional measures to explore
PQMD recognizes that AMI is only a starting point and that organizations are already measuring outputs and some outcomes. This resource lists the three impact areas, PQMD's priority metrics, as well as other potential outcomes indicators organizations may wish to explore that would contribute to the impact area. PQMD's AMI is an ongoing effort to align perspectives in a streamlined approach to outcomes measurement. PQMD's Donations Impact Group will continue to explore, discover, and publish their work on this site.
