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
