FDA Launches FDA-TRACK
In a press release issued on August 31, 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the launch of a new "organizational performance management system" called FDA-TRACK.
According to the release, FDA-TRACK will monitor over 100 FDA program offices based on performance indicators from four categories:
- Common measures: these are measures that would apply to the agency as a while
- Key Center Director Measures: these are measures that would apply to specific Centers within FDA
- Program measures: these are measures that would apply to specific program offices
- Key Projects: these are projects specific to program offices
FDA-TRACK "is designed to be informative, encourage accountability among the people who work at FDA, and make that work more transparent."
The FDA-TRACK website is also available to the public, who will be able to track FDA's progress.
