Bureau of Health Care Services
OCTOBER 18, 2012 – Former Director Hilfinger announced the
creation of the new Bureau of Health Care Services. The new
bureau brought together the bureaus of Health Professions and
Health Systems under one umbrella.
This move simplifies the health care regulatory structure,
breaking down artificial government silos that are inefficient and
impeding improvements in customer service.
By combining these bureaus, the department is able to leverage
natural synergies in the licensing of providers and facilities, and
develop common, effective customer service protocols serving
multiple facets of the health care delivery system.
