Rapid Digital Transformation | Legacy Transition
Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (GA DBHDD)

The transition for the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (GA DBHDD) was one of the most time-sensitive and mission-critical projects of my career. Tasked with replacing a legacy infrastructure with a modern EHR, I served as the primary architect for the implementation design and planning. The goal was not simply to replace a system, but to digitize a complex, nine-stage clinical and administrative workflow that handles the state's most sensitive person-centered planning and case management functions.

I led the technical design of an end-to-end process that mirrors and enhances Georgia’s legacy business logic. This workflow encompasses the entire lifecycle of an individual: beginning with Intake and Initial Assessments, moving through Planning List Enrollment and specialized Clinical/Support Needs Assessments, and culminating in Funding Enrollment, Individualized Planning, and the final generation and transmission of Authorizations to the provider network. Achieving this level of functional depth required a high degree of Business Analysis and a rigorous approach to Data Governance to ensure that legacy records were migrated without loss or corruption.

Beyond the internal platform configuration, I orchestrated the development of several customized interfaces with external vendors, including a critical link to the Georgia MMIS. These interfaces were essential for ensuring that authorizations generated within the system were accurately communicated for fiscal processing. As the primary lead, I managed the Release Management and UAT Planning, coordinating directly with state leadership to ensure the platform met every regulatory requirement. Despite the limited timeline, the project was successfully driven to go-live, providing Georgia with a high-performance, integrated system that has fundamentally improved their case management velocity.
