2020 Top Management & Performance Challenges Facing HHS

The 2020 Top Management and Performance Challenges Facing HHS is an annual publication of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or the Department) Office of Inspector General (OIG). In this edition, OIG has identified six top management and performance challenges (TMCs) the Department faces as it strives to fulfill its mission "to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans, by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services." These top six challenges reflect overarching issues that affect multiple HHS programs and responsibilities. These are not the only challenges that confront HHS, and OIG reports are a key resource that highlight specific opportunities to improve HHS programs and operations.
