Strategic Plan
Priorities for improving public health in Florida are addressed through various plans, including collaboration with partners and internal agency priorities to help achieve a healthier Florida. In addition to participating in the Long-Range Planning Program and the Agency Strategic Plan, MQA engages in long-range planning to facilitate efficient and cost-effective regulation per section 456.005, Florida Statutes.
MQA strategic planning defines and determines its roles, priorities, and direction over three to five years. The MQA Strategic Plan sets forth what MQA plans to achieve, how it will achieve its goals, and how to know whether its goals have been achieved. As a result of long-range planning, MQA, with input from staff, boards, and licensees, effectively allocates resources, plans and prioritizes activities, and continuously improves its licensure, enforcement, and information processes to benefit health care applicants, practitioners, and consumers.
