While many divisions and offices of the Department of Human Services (DHS) do employee background screenings, this rule would streamline a process Department wide. In the assessment of processes and resources, it has been determined that DHS will be buying into the DACS background screening database system owned and managed by the Department of Health. This memorandum of understanding (MOU) is nearly complete between the two departments, and programming on the system will be done in 2017. Until then, the status quo processes of background checking will continue in DHS. To ideally manage employee background screenings, the DACS system will be used. This will also be the pilot for moving all background screenings done by the Office of Licensing into that system that was largely built with federal funds and is utilized now by the Department of Health.
