Creating Transparency and Building Trust with Residents through Budget Data

Creating Transparency and Building Trust with Residents through Budget Data

Priority Based Budget (PBB) data ensures that local government decisions reflect the residents' priorities. PBB is built around the program instead of the line item, which creates a meaningful connection between the budget and the community by reinforcing how programs are directly relevant to how residents experience public services. However, there is still a need to present this program data to residents in an easy-to-understand and meaningful way.

ResourceX, in partnership with the City of Pittsburgh and Delivery Associates, has taken this step with the creation of the Pittsburgh Budget Resident Dashboard. This dashboard enables residents to understand the budget on a deeper level. By providing this information in an easily digestible way, residents can access information and engage with city priorities, decision-making, and budget data in a new and interactive way.

Join ResourceX and our esteemed guests to learn how incorporating data-driven decision-making across processes can improve a city’s ability to communicate and build trust with residents.

Building the Emergency Services Team for Today and the Future

The unthinkable is happening! Headlines like “AMR to discontinue service in Youngstown” and “Texas city to end long standing EMS contract citing financial hardship” and “Boswell Fire Department ending emergency ambulance service Sept. 30” are becoming more and more common. Long established, stable EMS systems are failing, and EMS systems are closing. Skyrocketing expenses, staffing shortages, decreasing revenues, is threatening the most stable EMS systems. Recent studies and science on patient outcomes based on response times and paramedic level care are challenging long-held beliefs on EMS system design and deployment. Several communities are beginning to totally redesign and transform EMS delivery to meet the new staffing and economic challenges, with great success. City and County leaders should be carefully evaluating the economic and clinical performance of their EMS system to determine the future sustainability of this essential service.

This webinar will provide crucial information on the ways city and county leaders can assess the quality, value and sustainability of your EMS delivery system to assure your system continues to meet the current and future challenges, and keep your community out of your local media!

Everyone has Personal Challenges: How to Balance Personal Requirements and Organizational Demands (Free Webinar)

We all want to support our teammates, however, it can be difficult when that teammate is never there to help carry the load. We all struggle to ensure that our personal life does not impact our professional life, but it seems consistently more difficult to separate the two. Caregivers get calls to pick up a sick child; an employee that owns rental properties gets a call about a pipe bursting; the boss needs to have knee surgery and is out for two weeks…These challenges are a part of life, and we must accept them and determine how to best work through them if we are to maintain a successful team.
