recent IT leadership changes at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>New Acting Deputies:<\/strong> HHS added new acting deputy chief information officer (CIO) David Hong and acting deputy chief AI officer Arman Sharma to its IT leadership team.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Changes in Roles:<\/strong> Kevin Duvall, previously holding both deputy CIO and acting deputy CAIO positions, is no longer listed in any of these roles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Unclear Comments:<\/strong> HHS did not respond to inquiries regarding these changes, while attempts to reach Duvall separately also went unanswered.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Context of Shake-Up:<\/strong> The shifts coincide with reports of a broader personnel shake-up within the agency, though it remains unclear if this is connected to the new IT leadership appointments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Recent Update:<\/strong> The webpage detailing these changes was recently updated, indicating a relatively recent shift in role assignments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Acting Positions:<\/strong> Currently, seven out of the 10 listed positions on the webpage are held by individuals in acting capacities, rather than permanent ones.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Michael McFarland&#8217;s Role:<\/strong> Michael McFarland has been designated as the acting executive officer in the CIO\u2019s office, a new addition to the acting roles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This summary captures the major points concerning the reorganization of IT leadership roles at
