First, carving out about half their time to further plan and develop our Department realignment. We had a half-day retreat and are meeting 3 times a week to continue developing our Transition Project plans. We're about ready with charters for our workgroups, a project schedule, and a communications plan. In addition, all Directors are keeping our ongoing services and administration going. It's been a challenge.
Data systems are a very critical factor for the success of our realignment.
We cannot integrate our client care unless we link our databases together. We'll be doing a detailed analysis of our current systems and developing a detailed plan for a linking of our databases and developing new tools for our workers, such as on-line scheduling, an intranet and electronic documents. Until that plan is completed, we won't have a definite date. We will keep you informed as soon as a schedule is projected. Very soon, several workgroups will start.
