1. Purpose

Key performance indicators (KPIs) define consistent performance measures for a selection of public health priorities.

皇冠体育appy use terminology that is clear and common across all screening programmes, so performance can be understood, assessed and compared.

KPIs聽are a subset of screening standards and give a high-level overview of the quality of screening programmes at important points on the screening pathway.

皇冠体育appy contribute to the quality assurance of screening programmes but are not, in themselves, sufficient to quality assure or performance manage screening services.
