Results-based Government

Vision Shared successfully created legislation in 2008 to centralize all information and permits required to start a business in one online location. The single web portal is being compiled by the Governor’s Office of Technology. Click here to read the legislation.

In 2009, Vision Shared managed the Roadmap to Health Project: a collaboration of volunteers established by the Legislature. Legislation passed in 2009 creates the Governor’s Office of Health Enhancement and Lifestyle Planning to coordinate government health care providers, launch pilot projects using the patient-centered medical home care model, encourage the use of health information technology and focus on wellness and health promotion.
