DMH Better Government

Operational Excellence

Missouri government, including the Department of Mental Health, has embarked on a plan to transform how we do business. Each state agency has committed to providing a state government that is more focused, more efficient, and one that delivers quality services to our citizens.

As a part of our transformation, there are a number of activities and initiatives that have been implemented statewide to help agencies define where they are headed, how they should lead, and how they can improve. By transforming how agencies conduct business, we will become:

  • More transparent about where we are heading and how we are doing;
  • More citizen friendly to serve our fellow citizens as they deserve;
  • More efficient to deliver higher quality services to our consumers;
  • More focused on what we should be doing and scaling back where we should;
  • More accountable to our consumers, our co-workers, and our citizens.
