“…We live in an ecosystem where technology and science evolve quickly. New problems and threats, like the COVID-19 pandemic, continually emerge. Societal needs, perspectives, and values change, as do the needs of our employees. We will continue to develop a CDRH that is prepared for innovations in technology and unanticipated national health challenges, while engaging with and continuing to serve the American public.”
“Our three 2022-2025 Strategic Priorities are a natural evolution of what we achieved through our 2018–2020 (and 2021) Strategic Priorities: Employee Engagement, Opportunity and Success; Simplicity; and Collaborative Communities. Through the 2022–2025 Strategic Priorities, we intend to:
- Promote a Modern and Diverse Workforce
- Enhance Organizational Agility and Resilience
- Advance Health Equity”
“Promote a Modern and Diverse Workforce aims to further enhance our incredible workforce, so it is exceedingly proactive, flexible, resilient, collaborative, and engaged. This priority also seeks to support our workforce to take full advantage of digital collaboration, technology and tools, and acknowledge and include diverse perspectives, experience, skills, and knowledge. Through this priority, we strive to prepare the organization for future disruptions, while maintaining work-life balance, maximizing flexibilities, promoting creativity, and supporting a culture of trust and empowerment. However, a modern and diverse workforce must be supported by an agile and resilient organization—one that is prepared for and can adapt quickly to avoid disrupting the operations of the Center and the work-life balance and wellness of our employees.”
“Enhance Organizational Agility and Resilience is about being able to rapidly adapt or redesign our business processes, approaches, and policies to leapfrog ahead of the needs of tomorrow. Organizational agility and resilience efforts will include fostering an enhanced learning and teaching environment; employee development and support; agile improvement and redesign of processes, policies, and programs; and capacity building. These efforts will support and help create the Modern and Diverse Workforce we aim to be.”
“Advance Health Equity is our priority that recognizes CDRH can advance the development of knowledge and safe and effective technologies to meet the needs of all patients and consumers. Technologies, including digital health technologies, can bridge that divide while advancing better health care, quality of life, and wellness for all; and should be designed and targeted to meet the needs of diverse populations. Putting patients first is an empty promise if it only applies to some and not all. No person should be left behind in health care…”
