Identity & Access Management Compliance Modernization
Cybersecurity · Health IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The commission faces a hard January 2026 deadline tied to the MDHHS password security standard, and its current identity and access management posture does not meet the mandate. Failure to comply creates regulatory exposure and operational risk across integrated MDHHS and MiHIN infrastructure.
The opportunity
The approaching compliance deadline establishes a non-discretionary procurement window, and over $173M in identified federal health IT grant funding—alongside SLCGP resources—provides clear budget pathways. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces regulatory risk and supports broader public health data modernization goals.
Web Accessibility Remediation for WCAG Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The commission faces a documented WCAG compliance deadline of April 2026, signaling existing gaps in web accessibility across public-facing digital properties. Failure to remediate exposes the agency to legal liability and restricts equitable public access to health information and services.
The opportunity
The April 2026 mandate creates a defined, near-term procurement window to address accessibility gaps before legal and operational risk escalates. This effort may align with active Public Health Data Modernization initiatives, enabling potential bundling within existing grant-funded modernization investments.

Health IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's health IT commission faces a hard October 2026 deadline to obligate RHTP Year-1 funds, with a planned RFP for modernization technology already in motion. Cybersecurity gaps — including password management compliance due early 2026 — and endpoint management needs elevate operational and compliance risk across the public health ecosystem.
The opportunity
The October 2026 budget obligation deadline creates an active, near-term procurement window that must be met to preserve over $173M in available federal health IT funding. Acting now ensures compliance, strengthens data security, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles that streamline contracting for eligible agencies.
Close Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented gaps include no publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, no mass notification system, and no evidence of required exercises or drills. NIMS compliance mandates are unmet, elevating operational and public safety risk for staff and the communities served.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs—including HSGP, BRIC, and COPS—are identified funding sources aligned to this project, and a near-term budget obligation deadline reinforces urgency. Acting within the current fiscal window supports NIMS compliance, strengthens public readiness, and leverages cooperative procurement pathways to streamline acquisition.
