Management Priorities

In response to the Clerk of The Privy Council  2008-09 Public Service Renewal Action Plan, the Agency launched its 2009-10 Integrated Operational Planning process in the Fall 2008. The process was an Agency first and was designed to address all aspects of planning including internal services, internal resource allocations/reallocations and Strategic Review findings. In support of Strategic Review, the Agency conducted an international benchmarking study of public health organizations. This work will enable long term comparisons to ensure that the Agency continues to strive for public health excellence.

As condition of Treasury Board Strategic Review approval letter, the Agency completed work commenced in the Fall 2008 by renewing the Agency’s PAA and finalizing a PMF. The renewed PAA provides more granularity to support future reviews. The Agency will continue to make refinements, improvements and integrate the PAA into its ongoing work agenda. As part of the improvement agenda, this DPR represents a transition to the Agency’s new PMF by providing baseline performance information from previous years.

The Agency developed an Integrated Risk Management Framework to support its work, including the implementation of the management response to the May 2008 OAG Report on the Surveillance of Infectious Diseases, and the MAF. As a management tool, the MAF has enabled the identification of Areas of Management that require improvement such as business continuity planning, information, asset and project management, procurement and citizen-focused service.

Lessons Learned

The overarching challenge in a public health environment is addressing business as usual in an environment where public health issues continue to impact regular monitoring and the fulfilment of plans and priorities as scarce resources are re-allocated internally. Capacity to address multiple competing demands remains a taxing issue and a risk.
