Reports

This report examines COVID-19 testing efforts for six federal health care programs during the first seven months following the declaration of a public health emergency in the United States. Published by the PRAC Health Care Subgroup, the report takes a detailed look at testing data in each of the programs that, when combined, provide benefits or care for about 64 million individuals. We hope this report will help policymakers as they continue to develop and refine their testing efforts related to testing accessibility and availability for at-risk populations, cost effectiveness, and sufficiency of data available to inform testing efforts.

This project seeks to provide transparency of states and localities spending rates of pandemic response funds. The project will also look at the state spend rate data in connection with public health and economic data to provide a more complete picture of the government’s COVID-19 relief efforts. The resulting information brief will inform Congress, policymakers, and the public about how swiftly states and localities have been able to spend Federal funds and may highlight any challenges faced by these recipients expending funds.

The project will update the four Management Challenges identified by the Pandemic OIGs at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic by building upon existing challenges and identifying any new challenges that the federal government will face when implementing their pandemic response programs. This update will inform policymakers in the new Congress and new Administration about key challenges that impact all federal agencies and that could impact the overall success and effectiveness of pandemic response programs.

A commissioned study that identifies gaps in federal data sources and how we can close them to improve the quality of the information we provide to the public.
