159 Enhance Efforts to Implement Blueprint for Change and Other Cost Saving Initiatives The Department has made significant progress and has many notable results in cost savings, particularly in case management, disease management, and use of community services. Ongoing efforts can focus on structural reorganization, which can centralize administrative and supervisory functions, and combining service delivery to provide a single point of access for consumers. This can both reduce costs and improve results, as common access to data will reduce duplicative or counter-productive treatment or other services. The County's ERP development of integrated case management will be critical to the success of this effort. Given the extensive reorganization contemplated, the savings are targets among the impacted departments Social Serivices, Health, Senior Services, and Mental Health V-76 Savings Organizational Restructuring $0 $0 $0 $2,500,000 $4,000,000 $6,500,000 C
