Improving Digital Govt. Services |
|
The COVID-19 crisis has been so challenging for people across the City, but it did lay the groundwork to more efficiently serve Angelenos by forcing the City to adapt and innovate. In his latest report, “A Stronger Connection: Expanding Digital Government Services,” L.A. Controller Ron Galperin called for the City of Los Angeles to expand online and remote services. It has already started doing so through virtual meetings to facilitate public hearings, a telemedicine pilot program to reduce ambulance dispatches and prevent ER congestion, and online training sessions for seniors.
Also analyzed in the report is the City’s greatly expanded telework program, which began at 30 employees before the pandemic and swelled to more than 10,000 by March 19 due to safety concerns. Galperin found that the City’s experiment with working from home proved that telework is a sensible workforce strategy that can make department operations stronger and more resilient to emergency disruptions.
“People expect high-quality services to be delivered with as much ease and efficiency as possible,” said Controller Galperin. “This is especially true and necessary during a worldwide health crisis, and necessity is so often the mother of invention. In this unique moment, Los Angeles has the opportunity to step up and be a leader in providing high-quality digital government services, an effort that must be guided by a clear and comprehensive strategy that benefits all Angelenos.”
