The IHS goal is to raise the health
status of the American Indian and Alaska Native people to the
highest possible level by providing comprehensive health care and
preventive health services. To support this mission, IHS uses the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) as one mechanism to
assess quality of care among health programs in its network. IHS
currently reports GPRA results for twenty-two clinical measures
that fall into the categories of Diabetes, Dental, Immunizations,
and Prevention. The prevention category includes three measures
related to behavioral health preventive screenings: Alcohol
Screening (to prevent Fetal Alcohol Syndrome), Depression
Screening, and Domestic/Intimate Partner Violence
Screening.
