2.3: Strategic Alignment
Support the major work of the Department, including its highest priority activities and high priority performance goals Other Information:
How Open Government Supports Our Strategic Goals - HHS sees Open Government explicitly as a means by which HHS will become
more successful in how well we deliver on our mission of improving the health and well-being of the United States. The Open
Government Plan directly supports the major work of the Department, including its highest priority activities and high priority
performance goals. These include: • Transformation of health care • Prevention and wellness • Early childhood health and development
• Protection of Americans in public health emergencies • Pursuit and acceleration of scientific advances that benefit patient
care • Improvement of our food safety system In addition, the concept of Open Government is being incorporated into HHS’s
Strategic Plan 2010-2015, which is currently under development. Once the new strategic plan’s goals and objectives have been
identified, they will inform proposals for new transparency, participation, and collaboration initiatives. The central objective
of Open Government at HHS is to advance the ability of the department to deliver on its mission through the power of transparency,
participation, and collaboration. Optimizing how well we disseminate vital government information to the public, foster the
use of that information, and engage citizens, health care providers, human service providers, non-profit organizations, businesses,
state, local, and tribal governments, researchers, the media, advocacy organizations, and others outside HHS in the work of
advancing these goals will be vital to achieving them. In fact, it’s hard to imagine how we’ll achieve maximum success with
respect to our goals without doing so.
