  • The program demonstrates progress in achieving the majority of its long-term performance goals. For example, the program is increasing the number of clinical indicators it measures and has successfully released an electronic health record graphical interface, which will provide health data in an easy to use system and is on schedule to be implemented in all Federally administered sites by 2008.
  • The program cannot provide a link between funding and performance. Funding for the system is not related to expected health outcomes.
