LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s social services agency is making a series of changes to become more responsive to its users under a plan unveiled by Gov. Pete Ricketts.

Ricketts on Monday announced a 25-part “business plan” for the Department of Health and Human Services. The plan is a list of priorities and goals for the agency through June 2017, many of which are already under way.

Some of the goals include reducing out-of-home placements for at-risk youth, expanding the use of a prescription drug monitoring program to prevent overdoses and starting construction on the new Central Nebraska Veterans Home in Kearney.

Department CEO Courtney Phillips says the changes are intended to increase the agency’s transparency and accountability.
