PROJECT MANAGER

Nassau County has undertaken a county wide consolidation of many of it's departments. The Government Operations Center; Public Safety Center; Health & Human Services; Courts; and Jails.

Current assignments include the Health & Human Services (HHS) consolidation to leased space in Uniondale, NY. Approximately 1,600 HHS workers will consolidate from multiple locations to one center providing services to those in need. The space is currently occupied by the landlords current tenants but is anticipated to be vacated shortly. Reconstruction of the building will take several months to complete. Furniture and technology systems will be installed and the staff and clients will move in.

Other assignments include the implementation of an electronic documents management system (EDMS). HHS currently has over 50 million records in paper format. These vital documents are vital to the care this department provides to its patient base. Many of the records are highly confidential. The EMDS initiative will provide digital images to healthcare workers to increase productivity and efficiency as well as reduce operating costs.
