Agency-Specific Plans
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) created a template to guide agencies in the development of agency-specific quality strategic plans, with broad, recommended categories to create consistency across the plans and ensure alignment with the National Quality Strategy (NQS). Using these templates, agencies explained how their own principles, priorities, and aims correspond with those of the NQS; elaborated on their existing and future efforts to implement the NQS; and discussed the methodology for evaluating these efforts.
