CRS – Clinical Reporting System

GPRA Reporting

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requires Federal agencies to demonstrate that they are using their funds effectively toward meeting their missions. The law requires agencies to have both a 5-year Strategic Plan in place and to submit Annual Performance Plans describing specifically what the agency intends to accomplish toward those goals with their annual budget. Every year, the agency reports on how the agency measured up against the performance targets set in the Plan.

GPRA measures include clinical, such as various diabetes measures, cancer screening and others; Office of Information Technology (OIT)-related, such as increasing sites using certain software; quality of care, such as % of accredited hospitals; prevention, such as immunizations and injury prevention; infrastructure, such as access to or improved sanitation facilities; and administrative efficiency.
