What to Know:
- HHSC is rolling out SEMARC, a cross-agency reportable conduct search tool, and backing it up with rule changes across multiple programs.

- HHSC is continuing work on interoperability and oversight through the ATLIS health information exchange effort and tighter electronic visit verification controls.
Among the agency’s exceptional item requests are $9 million for application modernization, $5 million for data, $3.2 million for 14 additional IT staff members, and $1 million for digitizing records.
Many of the department's goals hinge upon the procurement of a new youth case management system, for which the agency released a solicitation request earlier this month.
Both on-premises and software-as-a-service offerings have been requested to accommodate various organizations based on their individual needs.
The remote job would entail performing data analysis, developing data structures, creating data models and collaborating with division management.
The department, which focuses on rehabilitating Texas’ youth and ensuring public safety, has an estimated IT budget of $11.9 million.
Requirements for the system include portrait and signature capabilities and the ability to interface with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
