Performance Measure 5


Percent of HCCs that have a complete and approved response plan


Goal or Target

One hundred percent of HCCs have a complete response plan with 100 percent approval by the core member organizations of each HCC for every fiscal year.

One hundred percent of additional member organizations have been provided an opportunity to provide input into the response plan, and 100 percent of core and additional member organizations have received a final copy of the response plan.


Operational Intent

This PM determines the percent of HCCs that have a response plan approved by member organizations as described in Capability 2, Objective 1, Activities 1 and 2 of the 2017-2022 Health Care Preparedness and Response Capabilities. One of the key roles of an HCC is to promote collaboration across its membership in order to better respond to emergencies. A complete and approved response plan provides evidence that HCCs are performing this role for their communities. Specific requirements for the response plan are delineated in the FOA (see Appendix 4: Required Components of a Response Plan for more information) and may be updated in future budget years’ continuation guidance.


Data Reporting

Recipients should enter this information into the end-of-year performance measure module in PERFORMS during the specified time period for end-of-year reporting. SPPR will calculate percentages.
