The New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD) is modernizing its child welfare information system to handle case management of the IV-E program. The project is part of the State’s HHS IT Enterprise Project to transform its health and human services programs to an integrated, flexible framework that supports service provision and stakeholder interaction across programs.
IV&V by CSGSM
CSG provided comprehensive IV&V services for CYFD’s new child welfare system implementation to help ensure compliance with federal CCWIS standards. The CSG team completed an Initial IV&V Assessment and developed a report that provided observations and recommendations for improvement. Building upon the Initial Assessment, the CSG team conducted regular assessments to analyze processes and procedures against industry standards and best practices and provided recommendations to gain efficiencies. CSG’s IV&V assessments focused on project management practices, security standards, and operational readiness. The CSG team met weekly with State leadership to discuss project progress and provided monthly project status reports with trending information related to risks and overall project health.
