- 8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
- Federal Health Architecture (FHA) supports federal health information technology (IT) needs by creating a coordinated federal framework for health IT that promotes interoperability within and between the federal government and public and private sector organizations. The federal health IT plan is derived from the President's agenda, and is coordinated by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), the Health IT Policy Council (HITPC), and the American Health Information Community (AHIC or The Community). The FHA Program itself does not set the health IT plan, but contributes to and helps advance the President's health IT agenda. Key to the FHA Program's success is ensuring that input from all relevant federal health IT stakeholders is synchronized and rationalized into a coordinated federal position that all stakeholders can adopt. In FY07, FHA developed its strategy and goals to include development of four main initiatives: 1) Federal Adoption of Standards for Health IT (FAST) to provide support and guidance for implementation of the Health IT Standards, 2) Federal Health IT Planning and Reporting (FHIPR) to provide health IT specific guidance to agency health IT investments, 3) Federal Health Interoperability Architecture (FHIA) to provide support and guide program managers and enterprise architects in implementing products created by the national health IT agenda and 4) NHIN Connect (NHIN-C) to enhance federal sector participation on the nationwide health information exchange initiative run through ONC. While the first three initiatives provide for information dissemination and guidance across federal agencies, the NHIN-C will facilitate the standardization of federal nationwide health information connection solution architecture design and identified services with the help of other federal partners, which agencies can exploit to ultimately connect and exchange health information between federal agencies and with private organizations. In FY07, FHA submitted 21 recommendations to improve food safety import processes for our nation. This significant accomplishment is currently being incorporated in the framework created by the import safety panel that was set up as part of the 2007 Executive Order on Import Safety.

SUMMARY OF SPEND
- 1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.
All amounts represent Budget Authority
Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).
Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented. Cost Type | Py-1 & Earlier -2006 | PY 2007 | CY 2008 | BY 2009 |
---|
Planning Budgetary Resources | 1.610 | 1.000 | 1.230 | 1.280 | Acquisition Budgetary Resources | 7.100 | 4.420 | 5.430 | 5.650 | Maintenance Budgetary Resources | 0.760 | 0.470 | 0.580 | 0.600 | Government FTE Cost | 0.540 | 0.180 | 0.190 | 0.200 | # of FTEs | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
- 2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?
- no
- 3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.
- The FHA program began re-alignment to synchronize its efforts more closely with those of the Office of the National Coordinator and the President's health IT agenda. As a result, funding levels have increased slightly as FHA anticipates greater scope as the program transitions from the Input phase to the Implementation and Accountability phases.
PERFORMANCE In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
- Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

Enterprise Architecture In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA. - 1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
- yes
- 2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
- yes
- 2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
- Federal Health Architecture -- Managing Partner
- 3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
- no
- 4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.
Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.
Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.
Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.
Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

RISK You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.
Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks. - 1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
- yes
- 1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
- 2007-08-03
- 1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
- yes
- 1.c. If yes, describe any significant changes:
- The FHA Risk Plan has been updated to reflect the nature of the work which is less about architectural products and more orchestrating cross-agency collaboration in support of the National Health IT Agenda which is directly supported by the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) initiatives (AHIC, HITSP, CCHIT, and NHIN).
COST & SCHEDULE You should also periodically be measuring the performance of operational assets against the baseline established during the planning or full acquisition phase (i.e., operational analysis), and be properly operating and maintaining the asset to maximize its useful life. Operational analysis may identify the need to redesign or modify an asset by identifying previously undetected faults in design, construction, or installation/integration, highlighting whether actual operation and maintenance costs vary significantly from budgeted costs, or documenting that the asset is failing to meet program requirements.
Answer the following questions about the status of this investment. Include information on all appropriate capital assets supporting this investment except for assets in which the performance information is reported in a separate exhibit 300. - 1. Are you using EVM to manage this investment?
- no
- 1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?
- no
- 1.b. If no, explain plans to implement EVM.
- HHS has designated FHA as a Tier 8 investment. Although this means that the investment has FY07 DME expenditures, it is exempted from EVM reporting. In order to demonstrate ongoing performance of the program, FHA regularly reports milestones and progress against those milestones to OMB.
- 1.c. If N/A, please provide date operational analysis was conducted and a brief summary of the results?
Question #2 is NOT applicable for capital assets with ONLY O&M - 2. Is the CV% or SV% greater than ± 10%?
- yes
- 2.a. If yes, was it the?
- CV
- 2.b. If yes, explain the variance.
- Due to funding delays at the start of the FHA program, expenditure of funding was slowed. In FY07, actual funding received was less than expected thus contributing to our negative cost variance.
- 2.c. If yes, what corrective actions are being taken?
- The primary corrective action is to work more closely with our partners to clarify funding resources and priorities. The formal establishment of the Leadership Council Charter (approved by FHA program on December 21, 2006 and by our partners on April 11, 2007 (VA) and April 13, 2007 (DOD)) provides an enhanced opportunity to prioritize, identify, review and oversee FHA tasks (and therefore funding) with full participation from our partners. With shared responsibility for determining priorities and tasks, the hope is to solidify funding expectations so that funding can be spent at budgeted levels.
- 3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?
- no
