Annual Report and Long-Range Plan | Fiscal Year 2022-23 14 LONG-RANGE POLICY PLANNING Purpose Priorities for improving public health in Florida are addressed through various plans at the Department, including collaboration with partners and internal agency priorities. MQA supports the Department’s strategic planning efforts by developing and implementing a longrange policy planning and monitoring process to facilitate efficient and cost-effective regulation, per section 456.005, Florida Statutes. During FY 2022-23, MQA operated under the strategies contained within the 2016-23 MQA Strategic Plan while updating this approach for the new reporting period (2023-2027). MQA embraces the value of reasonable regulation as a means of public protection and supports the state’s priorities for economic growth. Consumers esteem care from licensed practitioners and are protected by MQA’s established system that regulates practitioners’ education, examination, and experience standards just as practitioners value fast and accessible credentialing to begin, maintain, and improve health care delivery to patients. Through its strategic delivery of licensure, enforcement, and information services, MQA is positioned to create lasting change for health care applicants, practitioners, and consumers. With this focus on public protection and regulatory efficiency, MQA continued to collaborate with regulatory partners to uphold the standards that protect consumers and communities while reducing regulatory burdens for practitioners wherever possible. MQA relies on its robust and agile technological infrastructure and informationsharing with partners to assess, adapt, and respond to changes in the environment that can impact goal attainment.
