Did you know Section 752 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2023 impacts both public and private sectors, mandating accessible digital content and emphasizing accountability?

Consequences of Non-Compliance  Non-compliance leads to legal, financial, and reputational risks, making it a vital step towards inclusivity and better user experiences.

System modernization presents unique challenges for state agencies, staff, and stakeholders. Some of these challenges include siloed projects, competing strategies, and overwhelmed system users, often impacting the ability to deliver needed services to members and providers. These challenges underscore the necessity of a comprehensive Organizational Change Management (OCM) approach to support successful system modernization efforts and facilitate change adoption, especially within the Health and Human Services sector. Modernization and modular systems challenges: 🚫 Siloed projects 🚫 Multiple information avenues 🚫 Overwhelmed stakeholders OCM tactics to provide solutions: ✅ Stakeholder management ✅ Communication planning ✅ Organizational Readiness assessment We recommend procuring a training and change management vendor along with your systems vendors to ensure the people-side of change keeps up with technology modernization. #BrilliantPossibilities #Change #ChangeManagement #OCM #Training #Learning #Systems #HealthIT #Modernization
