A review of management at the Arkansas Health
Department has revealed the agency should streamline its
organization so the chain of command is more clear.
The report concluded an earlier move to include more team-based
elements to running the department did not reduce bureaucracy or
improve communication.
Health Department Director Fay Boozman says it is worth the
extra time it takes to make a decision because more people have a
say. But the consultant says there needs to be more clear authority
within the agency.
