Introduction
The Online Performance Appendix is one of several documents that fulfill the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS’) performance planning and reporting requirements. HHS achieves full compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 and Office of Management and Budget Circulars A-11 and A-136 through HHS agencies’ FY 2009 Congressional Justifications and Online Performance Appendices, the Agency Financial Report and the HHS Performance Highlights. These documents can be found at: http://wayback.archive-it.org/3920/20131025140933/http://www.hhs.gov/about/budget/fy2009/ and http://www.hhs.gov/afr/ .
The Performance Highlights briefly summarizes key past and planned performance and financial information. The Agency Financial Report provides fiscal and high-level performance results. The FY 2009 Department’s Congressional Justifications fully integrate HHS’ FY 2007 Annual Performance Report and FY 2009 Annual Performance Plan into its various volumes. The Congressional Justifications are supplemented by the Online Performance Appendices. Where the Justifications focus on key performance measures and summarize program results, the Appendices provide performance information that is more detailed for all HHS measures.
