Part V. APPENDIX TO THE PERFORMANCE PLAN
B.1 Changes and Improvements in SAMHSA's GPRA Plan
Over Previous Year
SAMHSA has substantially rewritten the GPRA plan and report for the 2003-2005
planning and reporting cycle. In addition to eliminating a considerable amount
of text, specific improvements include:
-
reduction in the number of measures being reported from 2004 to 2005,
emphasizing outcome and efficiency measures;
-
dropping reporting on programs under $10 million to focus on SAMHSA's larger
priority programs;
-
integration of budget and performance information in one document;
-
integration of OMB PART developed measures into the performance tables;
-
following through on the performance measurement commitments made in the FY 2002
plan, obtaining needed data;
-
ongoing development of new long-term measures in conjunction with the OMB PART
review, and
-
identification of measures that contribute to Healthy People 2010 goals.
