FSIS Vision

Protecting public health through

food safety and food defense.

What Does the Vision Mean for Agency Data and Communications Systems?

• Control data and information access and reporting

• Create a single source of the data and information to ensure reliability and traceability

• Provide our stakeholders with the data and information necessary to protect public health

• Ensure that our data and information are available when needed

What Does the Vision Mean for Agency Data and Communications Systems?

• Target Agency resources to manage the data and information to support a more robust risk-based system

• Secure the data to only those staff and stakeholders who should have access to it

• Use leading business intelligence technology to allow for more predictive, rather than reactive, analysis enabling us to anticipate risks and better target resources to prevent and mitigate risk

Business Intelligence Tools Will Help Us Monitor Performance Measures in Near Real Time

Business Intelligence Tools Will Help Us Monitor Status and Trends More Efficiently and Effectively

How you can help.

DiscussionTo build on earlier committee discussions about the need for public health data and the Agency’s use of such data, we request feedback from the committee on the following questions:

• What types of public health data and information will help us make critical risk-based decisions?  For example, how can business intelligence technology (applications that can access multiple databases to create near real-time reporting and trending reports) provide more predictive analysis for FSIS to better manage food safety and food defense risks?

• If you currently use or are aware of such business intelligence technology, what do you recommend to FSIS based on your experience or knowledge of the technology? 

• How are you using business intelligence technology to better manage or communicate food safety and food defense risks internally?   Deadline for feedback: June 30, 2006

Questions ?

Thank You !
