Be Careful What You Wish For

• eMPI – Client Numbering and Normalization

• Confusion – Applicants/Members/Partners/Co-workers

• Human Services – County Coordination is Imperative

• Call Centers – Staff Up!

• Organization – Enrollment Operation Structure

• Automation – Data Driven System (the good, the bad & the ugly)

• Conversion – Auto-populate what you don’t have

• Compatibility – Browsers and Pop-up Blockers

• Staffing – You’re going to need some experts!

• Design Outside Box – Generic Family & Optional Denial Letter
