A joint investigation with PennSERVE: The Governor’s Office of Citizen Service, Harrisburg, PA, found that Communities in Schools of Pennsylvania (CISPA), Harrisburg, PA, failed to conduct critical criminal history checks (CHCs) and falsely certified to CNCS that it was in compliance with all CHC requirements during a Corporation-wide assessment and amnesty.
The Oklahoma Health Care Authority (State agency) did not always pay electronic health record (EHR) incentive program payments to eligible hospitals in accordance with Federal and State requirements for program years 2011 and 2012. Specifically, the State agency overpaid seven hospitals a total of $1.1 million and underpaid four hospitals a total of $402,000, for a net overpayment of $680,000.
The Office of the Inspector General found Coal and Gas Services (CGS) met its reliability metrics for gas and coal in fiscal year (FY) 2015 through January, FY 2016. However, some of its cost-effectiveness and fuel flexibility targets during the same period were not met because of outside factors. We identified strengths related to (1) employee teamwork, (2) management support of its employees, (3) employee engagement, and (4) working relationships with other TVA organizations. However, we also identified issues that if left unresolved could negatively impact CGS's effectiveness both now and in the future. Specifically, we identified employee perceptions concerning management favoritism and lack of transparency in specific areas which could be the result of alignment and goal measurement issues in CGS performance reviews. In addition, we noted conditions that could negatively affect business relationships with gas pipeline companies and result in increased transportation risk. Finally, we identified issues related to knowledge transfer. TVA management agreed with our findings and recommendations and provided planned actions to address our recommendations.
