Project Approval Lifecycle (PAL) Information Technology (IT) Projects

Below is a list of proposed IT Projects that are currently in the PAL review and approval process with the California Department of Technology (CDT). For purposes of this list “PAL Stage” refers to the last document officially submitted to CDT.

Projects are removed from this list when they exit the PAL process because: 1) the Agency/state entity receives CDT’s approval to begin project implementation; 2) CDT approves a Project Delegation Request; 3) the Agency/state entity withdraws the project; or 4) the CDT denies the project approval.

On April 22, 2024, CMS released the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services Final Rule (“Access Final Rule”) (CMS-2442-F). DHCS proposes to streamline efficiency, facilitate transparency, and synthesize reporting by maintaining and standardizing DHCS’ programmatic data and decisionsupport framework that allows DHCS to ensure critical incident reporting and management for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS). DHCS proposes to enhance critical incident management processes and solutions to ensure compliance with the Access Final Rule. This initiative will streamline the reporting, investigation, and/or management of incidents across various HCBS programs. By improving these processes, DHCS aims to maintain compliance and provide timely, high-quality services to Californians.
