CHAPTER 2: Health careUnder Access to Recovery, consumers will continue to havethe ability to choose the path that is personally best forthem and to choose the provider that best meets theirneeds, whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.Nondiscrimination and Privacy ProtectionOCR ensures compliance with the nondiscriminationrequirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964(Public Law 88-352), as amended, requiring recipientsof HHS Federal financial assistance to ensure that theirpolicies and procedures do not exclude or limit, or havethe effect of excluding or limiting, the participationof beneficiaries on the basis of race, color, or nationalorigin. These efforts, which reach beneficiaries of allhealth and human service programs that HHS funds,seek to achieve voluntary compliance and correctiveefforts when violations are found. OCR has collaboratedwith the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Justice toproduce a video and informational brochure in multiplelanguages to advise service providers and consumers withlimited English proficiency about their responsibilitiesand rights under Title VI. OCR also enforces the federalprivacy protections for individually identifiable healthinformation provided by the Health Insurance Portabilityand Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule. Privacyenforcement activities provide consumer confidence inthe confidentiality of their health information so thatprivacy concerns are not a deterrent to accessing care andfull and accurate information is provided at treatment andpayment encounters.OCR will continue to work with Federal and Statepartners and with providers and consumer groups,including faith-based and community organizations, toensure nondiscriminatory access to health and humanservices, to eliminate health disparities, and to protectthe privacy of identifiable health information.38 HHS Strategic Plan FY 2007-2012
CHAPTER 2: Health careStrategic Objective 1.3Improve health care quality, safety, cost, and value.In the future, American health care will be shapedinto a system in which doctors and hospitals succeedby providing the best value for their patients. Valuein health care means delivering the right health careto the right person, at the right time, for the rightprice. Providing reliable health care cost and qualityinformation can empower consumer choice at all levels.Systemwide improvements can occur as providers andpayers can track how their practice, service, or plancompares to others. As value in health care becomestransparent to consumers and providers alike, HHSanticipates the following benefits: Costs will stabilize;more people will acquire insurance; more peoplewill get access to better health care; and economiccompetitiveness will be preserved. Ultimately, this is aprescription for a value-driven system—a prescriptionof good medicine that works for everyone. HHS willwork to achieve this value-based system over the next5 years.Several HHS operating and staff divisions contributeto this goal of improving the quality, safety, cost and,ultimately, the value of health care, including AHRQ,AoA, CMS, FDA, HRSA, IHS, NIH, ONC, OPHS, andSAMHSA.The performance indicators for this strategic objective,listed in full at the end of this chapter, measure:• Adoption of electronic health care records, whichaffect the long-term quality, value, and safety ofhealth care;• Quality of care that residents receive in nursinghome facilities; and• Number of States implementing specificapproaches to improve the quality of Medicaidfundedhealth care, on which many low-incomepeople depend.HHS Strategic Plan FY 2007-201239
