AHRAC will be responsible for a corporate strategy to ensure timely and accurate information on its results derived from the use of public funds. A Performance Measurement Framework will be fully developed by AHRAC upon completion of the AHR regulatory framework and regime. This Framework would identify and elaborate upon:
To ensure that opportunities for improvement of effectiveness are identified on a regular basis, the Framework will include a timetable for in-depth evaluation of all program mechanisms and activities.
AHRAC will work closely with federal departments, provincial governments and health agencies, medical and allied health professionals, legal and consumer representatives as well as similar organizations in other countries in developing its Framework. This will ensure the optimal use of existing data sources for collection and sharing of information.
AHRAC will establish interim plans, priorities and goals as it proceeds to implement the AHR regulatory framework in collaboration with Health Canada and stakeholders in the AHR sector. Upon completion of the AHR regulatory framework and regime, AHRAC will be able to determine its key results and set appropriate performance measures for the Agency and other participants in the AHR regime.
AHRAC's strategy for measuring performance will require a strong capacity to collect, analyse and share information with other organizations and across several jurisdictions. This will require decisions regarding appropriate investments in information technology and the maintenance of strong linkages with other players in this field.
