This article discusses how the implementation of a performance management system within the prevention departments of Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region can reduce some variables of organizational ambiguity. Through a qualitative-quantitative approach based on action research and surveys, the researchers participated in the creation of a system that describes the processes, activities and targets and determines the consumption of standard resources. In addition, an exploratory survey was carried out for the ex ante assessment of the potentialities of the system in terms of reducing ambiguity, thus contributing to the revision of the system before its implementation. This research has the following contributions and implications. The first contribution is highlighted with respect to the literature on ambiguity. The second contribution relates to the definition of an ex ante evaluation approach of the potentialities of a performance measurement system to mitigate ambiguity. The results have practical implications for health management, providing insights to support the development of performance measurement systems in collective prevention.
