Increasing Transparency

Transparency Accountability and Belonging Initiative. Eliminating Health Inequities by 2030.
Making working with OHA simple, getting you answers in a timely manner, and showing how our work is making a difference for the things that matter most to you.

Sharing data is an important compotent of agency transparency. While OHA has a significant amount of data from both internal and external sources, the data the agency shares publicly is not always standardized or easy to find. OHA has committed to making its data dashboards more accessible, better aligned to strategic priorities and easier to navigate via a centralized landing page.

​

Administrative rules are created by most state agencies to implement and interpret their statutory authority. Recognizing that the rulemaking process can be confusing and opaque, OHA is revising and standardizing its internal processes to make rulemaking more transparent and understandable, including establishing an annual rulemaking calendar and publishing a centralized page with all rulemaking updates.

​

Increase public awareness of OHA deliverables, events, and program announcements and strengthen Agency alignment on strategic messaging. Implement more proactive and strategic messaging from top to bottom and develop an editorial calendar.

​

​​​Establish a Centralized Data Office, to support cross-divisional agency data needs, Data Office Service Catalog to track and inventory agency data, Data Stewardship Structure to outline roles and responsibilities, and its associated staffing. Prepare an Agency-wide Data Strategy Plan to outline how the agency will use data to better inform agency and program goals, including a Data Governance Plan and Data Inventory Plan, which will outline the processes to receive, house, and track data and data sources. ​

Develop, implement, and train on a revised Agency-wide policy for report development, review, and publishing to ensure all external reports are published in a timely and transparent manner.
