The State of Connecticut enacted legislation requiring its nine healthcare and human services agencies to adopt best practices and standards in Health Information Technology (HIT) to improve the delivery and quality of healthcare in Connecticut. The Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS) is the lead agency in this effort, designated by legislation to coordinate the implementation of an HIT Strategic and Operational Plan.
Developing a sustainable HIT governance structure
CSG was selected by the State to facilitate collaborative sessions with DSS and other key State executives to define a clear vision and establish interagency agreement among stakeholders, and assist in developing a sustainable HIT governance structure to improve functionality across the HHS Enterprise. Through these sessions the State was able to establish an effective HIT governance framework, a critical component of the HIT Strategic and Operational Plan.
