INTRODUCTION
HRSA's
Online Performance Appendix presents information on
past and projected performance in carrying out its
mission of providing the national leadership, resources
and services necessary to improve access to comprehensive
culturally competent, quality health care. For each
HRSA program activity, tables are provided that present
key program performance measures, performance targets
and actual performance results. The tables are followed
by a discussion of trends and most recent results
for each performance measure. For those measures where
performance targets were exceeded or not met to a
material degree, an expanded analysis is provided
in a section on "Targets Substantially Exceeded
or Not Met"; The performance tables also show
the linkage between a program's performance
measures and HRSA's strategic objectives, indicating
the close alignment of performance expectations and
results with HRSA's mission and priorities.
The
performance tables categorize measures by whether
they are outcome or output measures.
While emphasizing outcome measures in its performance
management, HRSA continues to monitor selected process
and output measures that are also important for gauging
the adequacy of program performance. HRSA, in conjunction
with its partners and stakeholders, continues to work
on improving the collection, analysis and reporting
of timely and accurate performance data and using
these data to inform decision making.
The
Online Performance Appendix is one of several
documents that fulfill the Department of Health
and Human Services' (HHS') performance planning
and reporting requirements. HHS achieves full
compliance with the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 and Office of Management and
Budget Circulars A-11 and A-136 through HHS agencies’
FY 2009 Congressional Justifications and Online
Performance Appendices, the Agency Financial Report
and the HHS Performance Highlights. These documents
can be found at: HHS
Budget and HHS
Agency Financial Report
The
Performance Highlights briefly summarizes key past
and planned performance and financial information.
The Agency Financial Report provides fiscal and high-level
performance results. The FY 2009 Department’s
Congressional Justifications fully integrate HHS’
FY 2007 Annual Performance Report and FY 2009 Annual
Performance Plan into its various volumes. The Congressional
Justifications are supplemented by the Online Performance
Appendices. Where the Justifications focus on key
performance measures and summarize program results,
the Appendices provide performance information that
is more detailed for all HHS measures.

Appendix can be found at HRSA
