Organizations that promote health projects and programs also feel the need for quick responses to their actions, especially when epidemics such as the Corona Virus occur. Public health projects, in most cases, interventions through communication aimed at a target audience. However, to define the efficiency and effectiveness of a project that aims to promote collective health, there is a need to measure its performance. The objective of the study was to propose a performance measurement system for activities in the interinstitutional communication process applied to projects in the health area. The research method is defined by an applied nature, a qualitative-quantitative approach and using the technique of the case study of the project “Sífilis Não”. The research procedure included four stages: 1) theoretical research; 2) field research, through the single case study of the “No Syphilis” project; 3) modeling the communication process; and 4) structuring the performance measurement system for communication activities focused on health promotion. As a result a performance measurement model is proposed, which comprises five dimensions with 28 indicators: D1-Processes, with 8 indicators; D2-Results with seven indicators; D3-Impact, with 5 indicators; D4-Learning, with 5 indicators and; D5-Budget, with 3 indicators.
