Invest in Tools & Technology

The Need

The HCBS system is complex with a number of technology systems and an enormous data infrastructure. To adequately prepare for the future, these systems need continual maintenance and updates. The tools and technologies the Department uses not only impact our administrative functions, but each is integral to our providers’ ability to perform their contractual obligations and to provide care to our members.

In addition, technological advancement is necessary to support our members and their families who rely on our systems to access services, seek resources, and gauge provider quality. For these reasons, the Department proposes a package of investments to elevate our current suite of tools and technology and to develop new and emerging systems that will prepare us for the future.
