Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
OCHN is actively working toward WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance following a recent website redesign, with ongoing legal and public access risk if accessibility standards are not fully met. Failure to achieve compliance exposes the agency to ADA-related liability and limits equitable access to critical public health and crisis services.
The opportunity
A projected $5.4M net operating surplus for FY26 and strategic initiatives explicitly prioritizing website accessibility create a near-term procurement window. Advancing this project now addresses an active compliance mandate, reduces legal exposure, and ensures equitable digital access for the communities OCHN serves.

Emergency Management · Crisis Preparedness
High Priority
About this project
OCHN lacks an agency-specific Emergency Operations Plan, has no dedicated mass notification system, and has not conducted documented exercises or after-action reviews. Reliance on county-level infrastructure leaves the agency exposed during crisis events and out of compliance with NIMS/EOP review mandates.
The opportunity
A $1M state grant for crisis-continuum infrastructure and a projected $5.4M FY26 operating surplus create immediate, accessible funding pathways. Leadership transitions and NIMS compliance urgency make this the right moment to close preparedness gaps and strengthen agency-level crisis response.

Emergency Management · Crisis Communications
High Priority
About this project
OCHN currently has no agency-owned mass notification system, relying solely on a county-level platform that limits independent outreach during crises. This gap directly threatens the continuity of 24/7 crisis line and mobile crisis team operations, leaving staff and communities underserved when it matters most.
The opportunity
A projected FY26 operating surplus, a $1M state crisis-continuum infrastructure grant, and alignment with NIMS/EOP compliance mandates create a well-funded procurement window. Acting now reduces operational risk, strengthens crisis response capacity, and positions the agency ahead of upcoming preparedness review requirements.

Cybersecurity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
OCHN faces a hard HIPAA privacy and security compliance deadline of October 2025, requiring immediate cybersecurity remediation. Legacy endpoint protection and gaps in identity and credential security management elevate regulatory and operational risk for staff and the populations served.
The opportunity
The October 2025 HIPAA deadline creates a time-bound mandate for action, while a projected FY26 budget surplus and a county-wide initiative to streamline procurement support near-term investment. Modernizing now reduces audit exposure and strengthens the security posture protecting sensitive health data.
