Document Summary
This memo is to inform you of changes to receiving memos as well as
information, numbered and operation memos from the Department of Health
and Family Services (DHS
). As of July 1, 2006, the Bureau of Quality
Assurance (BQA) memo series, BQA quarterly updates and BQA Pharmacy
Newscapsule, the Division of Disability and Elder Services memo series,
and the Division of Children and Family Services memo series will only be
available on the DHS
web site. You will no longer receive paper copies of
memos via regular mail. When a new memo has been posted on the web site,
an email notification will be sent to everyone who has signed up on the
Department's Listserv.
The electronic Listserv will:
- provide quicker access to information;
- provide an efficient way to share the information with staff in your
agency who need it;
- reduce the number of paper copies you produce and/or maintain?;
- provide an online search feature, reducing your time to find memos;
and
- provide your agency with an electronic back-up of the memo series.
If you are interested in receiving electronic notification of
policy-related information, numbered and operations memos for the
Divisions of Disability and Elder Services and Children and Family
