Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Mission & Priority document (MPD) – Action

The Quality, Safety & Oversight Group (QSOG) and Survey Operations Group (SOG) remain dedicated to ensuring the health and safety of all Americans. The FY 2021 MPD was updated to reflect this dedication, along with our ongoing commitment to strengthen oversight, enhance enforcement, increase transparency, improve quality and reduce burden. FY 2021 MPD updates include: • Joint issuance of the MPD by both QSOG & SOG • Information regarding ongoing survey and certification priorities during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency (PHE) • Updates based on guidance released in FY 2020 • Based on the re-organization in November 2019, the MPD was updated to reflect the change in designation from CMS Regional Offices to CMS Locations • Contact information for each of the survey & certification areas As priorities may change throughout the year, we aim to have the MPD be a living and continuous document which can be updated on a timely basis.
