Computers and Keeping Staff Still a Weakness for the Board

Internal Audit and Staffing - Notes from the June 2008 Texas Medical Board Meeting

An internal audit was conducted concerning risk and probability for the Texas Medical Board and the two highest areas of risk were found to be the IT infrastructure and the salary structure for staff. There are many very old programs making it difficult to repair them if something should happen. The staff compensation levels have proved to be too low to even compete with other government agencies.

My Thoughts: These are two long standing issues for the Board and it is unlikely these matters will be solved anytime soon.
