HHSI2

What is HHSi2?

The Illinois Health and Human Services Innovation Incubator (HHSi2) is a program office within the Governor’s Office of Management & Budget which partners with Departments of Healthcare & Family Services, Human Services, Children & Family Services, Public Health and Aging, and is supported by the Department of Innovation & Technology. HHSi2 seeks to drive innovation and improve the delivery of health and human services programs throughout the state.

Our Key Initiative: ISIP – Illinois Shared Interoperability Platform

The Illinois Shared Interoperability Platform (ISIP) is the cornerstone of HHSi2’s mission. Approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and United States Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), ISIP is funded via a 90/10 federal match.

The goal of ISIP is to provide coordinated and collaborative service delivery by establishing an interoperable environment for stakeholders of Health & Human Services (HHS) programs, which will integrate data from disparate sources and provide a comprehensive 360-degree view of the full complement of services a specific person and their respective family or household receives across all Illinois HHS agencies.

ISIP will enable State agencies to securely access more accurate and reliable data across the HHS enterprise to support better decision making and improve the delivery of critical services to those in need.
