| 5954.2 Development of a Performance Measurement System for the Division of Organ Transplantation |
|
| The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) links funding decisions to program performance by calling for the designation of measurable performance goals that can be reported as part of the budgetary process. GPRA requires each federal agency to develop comprehensive strategic plans, annual performance plans with measurable goals and objectives, and annual reports on actual performance compared to goals. This report focuses on the response to GPRA undertaken by Division of Organ Transplantation (DOT) within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The report provides a conceptual framework for the organ and bone marrow transplantation programs; outlines a recommended performance management system (including an articulation of program purposes and functions, language and tools of performance measurement, criteria for selecting measures and indicators, and identification of potential measures); and recommends next steps. These next steps include: (1) identification of a process for selection of measures and indicators for DOT programs; (2) selection of most important measures from the potential group; (3) identifying supporting data and data needs and gaps; (4) preparing an annual performance plan designed to meet GPRA requirements; and (5) identifying technical assistance needs for making a performance management system operational.
