Create a unified HHS committed to functioning as one Department Other Information:
How We Will Accomplish Our Objective - Consolidate HHS operations, including: - facilities management, centralizing building
and location-related decisions and to help co-locate HHS employees who work together; - Departmental personnel operations
to enhance effectiveness and efficiency in hiring, training, and deployment of personnel; and administrative services. - Implement
more effective coordination of HHS research and evaluation activities. - Enhance the coordination of administration of programs
and policies, such as the State Children’s Health Insurance Program and privacy and confidentiality policies, across HHS to
better leverage our collective resources so that services to program recipients from HHS agencies are seamless and complementary.
- Consolidate the work and physical location of some of our agencies to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. - Eliminate
excessive management layers to speed decision-making. - Consolidate and modernize existing financial management systems. -
