The Department of Human Services (DHS) and Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) DC Access System (DCAS) Program Management Administration team agree with the findings. For the fifteen (15) findings, DHS/ESA has identified the description of the deficiencies, examined the magnitude and geographic extent of the deficiencies, identified the actions completed to eliminate the deficiencies. The District will focus on efforts that will create the maximum impact, which includes creating new options for collaboration, streamlining current communication, and introducing cross-functional prioritization. These strategies will help the District move projects toward completion and are rooted in continuous quality improvement. To guide its strategic efforts and track its impact, DHS has outlined the following four phases of corrective action plans to be taken to ensure the deficiencies will be eliminated: • Review and Prioritization, • Design and Development, • Implementation, and • Monitor and Evaluation. Each phase has several process steps including a completion document that signals the permission to move to the next phase. The detailed process steps are documented under DHS’ Consolidated Semi-Annual SNAP Advance Warning Letter Corrective Action Plan and FFY2024 Quality Control Corrective Action Plan reports dated April 2024. The corrective action plan is facilitated by the Quality Improvement Program and since implementing this process in January 2021, the District has identified root causes for errors and gaps in internal auditing and evaluation processes. Therefore, the flow of the semi-annual corrective action plans reflects the District’s commitment to a collaborative corrective action plan - expanding the data analysis section to include data and analysis of internal methods, a complete summary of each phase completed, and a timeline for upcoming phase/project completion.
