By developing MPH, the State sought to drive innovation and improve the effectiveness of services by increasing attention to the privacy, security, transparency, and reliability of the disparate data sources maintained by State agencies. Through data, the State now utilizes an iterative and creative process to solve its toughest challenges and find effective solutions that improve programs and ultimately the quality of life for more citizens. Agencies leverage data to challenge assumptions and apply new strategies and tactics.
Citizens have an increased understanding of how their State government is performing through the transparency displayed on IN.gov/MPH. State agency KPIs were refined, data collection was streamlined to further a culture of data collection, and operational dashboards provide employees insight into historical trends and an in-depth view into agency performance management.
The first of its kind, MPH brings together performance metrics from across the State. With sophisticated analytical models that yield insights, the State can learn from historical outcomes and predict future services through prescriptive analytics. The MPH tool has enabled data analytics to better understand and inform decisions on the allocation of resources across State agencies all leading to improved life for citizens.
