In its report, the HHS Office of Inspector General identifies 10 top management and performance challenges facing HHS as it strives to fulfill its mission “to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health and social services.”
