But there are problems and pitfalls associated with performance measures including selecting the wrong measures, misuse of measures such as point measures that produce misleading results, proliferation of measures with little impact, as well as a host of other challenges. This module will describe the consequences of misuse of performance measures along with the associated wrong behaviors, and will identify practices participants can employ to avoid these problems
