CDC: Division of Global Migration and Quarantine

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The Division provides essential and unique services through coordination of domestic and international partner efforts. Current conditions, such as increases in global travel and migration, as well as both natural and man-made (bioterrorism) emerging health threats, contribute to the elevated risk of importation of communicable diseases.
  • The Division has engaged in strategic planning efforts following a 2005 Institute of Medicine report, with a comprehensive set of long-term and annual performance measures reflecting progress in programmatic activities such as quarantine station capacity-building, immigrant and refugee health screening, prevention of zoonotic disease transmission, and traveler's health information dissemination.
  • The Division seeks continuous improvement through regular independent evaluations which document the effectiveness of its core programs, including the 2005 IOM report on Quarantine Stations and a Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC) review of the Traveler's Health program. All Divison programs have undergone a BSC review and will be reassessed at regular intervals.
