Care Personnel Delivery System (HCPDS) work flows and support
programs.
2. Redefine Agency infrastructure based on a Quinquennial Workload
Study.

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT
An annual report providing the results of the implementation of these performance
measures will be submitted by
March 31, 2005. This report will address attained versus
planned levels of performance, explain unattained target levels, and identify where and
how strategies, performance goals, and performance indicators should be changed to
ensure that the SSS reaches its strategic and annual goals and objectives.
VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION OF PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
A variety of methodologies and techniques will be employed to verify and validate the
Agency performance indicators associated with each of the goals and objectives identified
in this plan. The verification and validation will be conducted by SSS employees using
data generated by internal systems.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE BUDGET
The SSS has not completed installation of all the systems that will fully capture budgeted
costs associated with its performance goals as identified in its APP. SSS has identified the
necessary data collection objectives and developed a methodology for its collection.
Based on the data collection plan, as implemented during FY 2003, the Agency will align
its FY 2004 Budget Estimate and Budget Justification funding stream to coincide with its
goals delineated in its FY 2004 APP. This system is designed to capture and record at the
lowest practical level, all costs incurred by performance goals. It will reflect true costs
associated with the attainment of each annual performance goal.
