Crisis System Redesign & Emergency Management Platform
Emergency Management · Crisis Response
High Priority
About this project
MHMR Concho Valley faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including no all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan, no agency-wide mass-notification platform, and documented crisis communication failures. Recent flood exposure has intensified demand, elevating operational and public safety risk for the communities served.
The opportunity
Budget-approved funding and pending HSGP and EMPG grant awards with fall 2026 deadlines create an immediate window to act. Advancing this initiative now closes compliance and readiness gaps while maximizing available federal funding before the cycle closes.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
MHMR Concho Valley sustained two vehicle total losses within a single year, exposing significant safety and financial risk for an organization operating within a self-funded risk pool. The absence of a telematics system leaves fleet operations without real-time visibility, driver behavior data, or loss-prevention tools to reduce future incidents.
The opportunity
Budget approval is already secured, positioning this initiative for near-term procurement. Relevant grant deadlines in fall 2026 explicitly align with fleet management solutions and can supplement local funding, reducing cost burden while advancing a safety-critical, board-supported priority.
Cybersecurity & Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces a HIPAA Security Rule mandate to protect electronic Protected Health Information, with audit findings requiring corrective action. FY2027 budget reflects a $179,582 increase in Systems and Software spending, signaling an active push to address cybersecurity gaps and reduce compliance exposure.
The opportunity
An active SLCGP grant application and fall 2026 funding deadlines create a defined, near-term window to advance cybersecurity investments with reduced local cost burden. Incoming executive leadership presents a timely opportunity to align modernization priorities with FY planning and long-term risk reduction.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
MHMR Concho Valley faces a documented mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards by April 26, 2028, with audit findings requiring corrective action across digital assets. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and restrict equitable public access to critical behavioral health services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 compliance deadline establishes a clear planning horizon, and staged remediation should begin now to reduce risk and distribute costs. Increased IT allocations in the FY2027 budget create a favorable funding environment for accessibility improvements this cycle.
Strengthen Identity & Password Management for HIPAA Compliance
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Access Control
High Priority
About this project
HIPAA Security Rule requirements for ePHI protection demand robust identity and password management controls, and audit findings have flagged corrective action needs. Credential and access management gaps present active compliance and operational risk for staff and the populations served.
The opportunity
An active SLCGP grant application and an increased IT budget create a concurrent funding environment, with cybersecurity-focused grant deadlines in fall 2026 offering a direct path forward. Addressing identity management now reduces audit exposure, strengthens ePHI safeguards, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
