Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
1 INTRODUCTION1.1 Project Overview
Cognosante is under contract to the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) to provide consulting services for the Kentucky Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) Procurement. As part of that work effort, Cognosante is contracted to update the previous Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) State Self-Assessment (SS-A). Cognosante submits this Gap Analysis deliverable in accordance with Takeover and Replacement Project Amendment 1.
The four key deliverable documents for the Kentucky MITA SS-A update are as follows:
1. Kentucky MITA SS-A As Is update – This deliverable outlines the current capabilities and maturity levels for the various MITA business process (BP) areas.
2. Kentucky MITA SS-A To Be update – The amendment required an examination of the previously produced MITA SS-A document and a determination regarding the impact of the recent Kentucky enhancements to the As Is maturity levels and a review of the impacts that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Enhanced Funding Requirements, Seven Conditions and Standards (7C&S) will have on the To Be MITA maturity level goals. This document presents the results of the examination of the To Be assessment of future goals, objectives, opportunities, and challenges.
3. Gap Analysis – This deliverable will identify the gaps between the As Is and the To Be, encompassing the Kentucky Medicaid program’s needs for business process improvements. This deliverable will also include the MITA Framework 2.01 Appendix E, which provides the justification documentation required by CMS for Implementation Advance Planning Document (IAPD)-planned improvement funding requests for the MMIS.
4. Transition Plan – The Transition Plan will highlight a plan to transition from the current MMIS architecture to future business and technology needs and services.
This document represents Deliverable 8: Gap Analysis and will present CHFS with a description and maturity level for the To Be business processes provided by the MITA Framework Version 2.01, Business Process Model (BPM) Version 2.01. This deliverable will describe the capabilities and maturity the Commonwealth wants to achieve (To Be) and provide the supporting detail for maturity level determination.
Section 2 presents Kentucky Medicaid’s goals and objectives as they relate to MITA.
V 2.0Page 6
Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
Section Error: Reference source not found provides details on the current and future levels of maturity of each Division for Medicaid Services (DMS) business process. This section provides a summary overview of the MITA management area within the Kentucky Medicaid Enterprise (KYME). Each subsection includes bulleted capability recommendations for maturity development and a detailed table for each business process. The tables provide the As Is and To Be maturity levels for each process. The tables also provide a description of maturity gaps that need to be met in order to achieve the desired To Be goals.
1.2 Cognosante Methodology
Because the schedule for this engagement was aggressive, Cognosante used the original Kentucky MITA Framework 2.01 material as a foundation with its eight business areas and 79 business processes, as the baseline. The original material was reviewed and placed in standardized templates. A review of recent changes to the MMIS, legislation such as the ACA, and CMS requirements was conducted and any updates and new findings were added to the templates. The detailed templates were used as the basis for the final deliverables. These completed templates will be delivered in a soft copy form because of the size and the need to be able to search the documents electronically. This process assured that all MITA business areas and processes would be addressed.
As a result of the review, the MITA To Be goals of certain business process capabilities were revised in order to meet the new requirements. The gap between the current As Is capabilities and the desired future To Be capabilities is the focus of this document.
1.3 Terminology Clarifications
Several concepts and entities are used in specific sense throughout this document, and the following definitions serve to clarify the in-depth discussions they precede.
1. Enterprise
The term enterprise is used throughout this document. It is preceded by an adjective to describe the processes and systems that make up the Medicaid solution. In this document, the term enterprise means:
A group of organizations (e.g., CHFS operating agencies)
Staff, systems, and interfaces that have a common purpose (e.g., Medicaid)
The following enterprise definitions are used to help the reader understand the context of terms used throughout this document.
CHFS Enterprise – The staff, systems, and interfaces that make up the Kentucky CHFS organization

Commonwealth Council on Developmental Disabilities
Kentucky e-Health Network Board
Kentucky Health Information Exchange Coordinating Council
Medicaid Enterprise – The staff, systems, and interfaces that are used to process, hold, or distribute Kentucky Medicaid information across the operating agencies
2. Silo
Silo is another term used throughout this document. Along with the term “compartmentalized,” silo is used to describe the lack of system interoperability, communication, and common goals across two or more business areas. For most of the CHFS enterprise management systems, the focus is inward and information communication is vertical. In general, staff members serve as information gatekeepers, making timely coordination and communication among departments difficult to achieve. Information gatekeepers also make seamless interoperability with external parties impractical. In general, silos tend to limit productivity in practically all organizations and provide greater risk for security lapses and privacy breaches.
3. MITA Maturity Model, Maturity Level, and Capability
The MITA Framework is grounded in several significant terms. Among the most significant terms are MITA Maturity Model (MMM), Maturity Level, and Capability.
MMM – A maturity model serves to measure and guide the performance of a specific business area (e.g., a long-term care waiver program) or business function (e.g., enrolling members) across time. The MMM provides each state’s Medicaid Enterprise with a structured timeline for realizing certain performance standards (e.g., within five years, enrolling members occurs online and information is automatically transferred from the application to systems for enrollment).
Maturity Level – Within the MMM there are five maturity levels for the each business process. These maturity levels are the summation of a set of performance standards and represent steps along the MMM. The maturity levels for individual processes are described in the tables beginning with Section 4. Each business process is assessed at one of its five maturity levels. This will be described as a certain business process having been assessed at a “MITA Maturity Level.”

Table 1: MITA Maturity Model
Definition of State Medicaid Levels of MaturityLevel 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5
Agency focuses on meeting compliance thresholds for State and Federal regulations, primarily targeting accurate enrollment of program eligibles and timely and accurate payment of claims for appropriate services.
Agency focuses on cost management and improving quality of and access to care within structures designed to manage costs (e.g., managed care, catastrophic care management, and disease management). Focus on managing costs leads to program innovations.
Agency focuses on adopting national standards, collaborating with other agencies in developing reusable business processes, and promoting one-stop-shop solutions for providers and consumers. Agency encourages intrastate data exchange.
Agency benefits from widespread and secure access to clinical data and focuses on improvement of healthcare outcomes, empowering beneficiaries and provider stakeholders, measuring objectives quantitatively, and ensuring overall program improvement.
Agency focuses on fine tuning and optimizing program management, planning and evaluation since it has benefited from national (and international) interoperability and previously noted improvements that maximize automation of routine operations.
Capability – The “performance standards” referred to in the two definitions above, are commonly referred to in the MITA Framework as capabilities. Each of the 79 business processes discussed in these deliverables has a set of capabilities associated with them. For each business process, the sum of capabilities is known as a Business Capability Matrix (BCM). The KY MITA SS-A update was completed using the BCM from MITA Framework 2.01. As noted by CMS, below are the main types of capabilities:1
Timeliness of Business Process – Time lapse between the agency’s initiation of a business process and attaining the desired result (e.g., length of time to enroll a provider, assign a member, pay for a service, respond to an inquiry, make a change, or report on outcomes)
Data Accuracy and Accessibility – Ease of access to data that the business process requires and the timeliness and accuracy of data used by the business process
Efficiency; Ease of Performance – Level of effort necessary to perform the business process given current resources
Cost Effectiveness – Ratio of the amount of effort and cost to outcome

Quality of Process Results – Demonstrable benefits from using the business process
Utility or Value to Stakeholders – Impact of the business process on individual beneficiaries, providers, and Medicaid staff
1.4 MITA Framework 2.01
The goal of this assessment is to bring the previous SS-A materials up to MITA 2.01 in conjunction with the development of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the MMIS Procurement Project. Cognosante is performing the following activities building upon the existing KY MITA SS-A:
Identifying business processes affected by the CMS published guidance in its 7C&S
Identifying impacts to business, information, and technical state that are different than otherwise specified in the existing Kentucky MITA SS-A
Developing a Gap Analysis of the differences in where the current KYME is and goal of the “To Be” direction
Developing a Transition Plan that outlines the path to satisfy the gaps
The intent of the SS-A update is to identify MITA capabilities that will need to be improved in order to meet CMS requirements and the future needs of the Kentucky Medicaid. These requirements will be reviewed for possible inclusion into the Kentucky Medicaid Enterprise Management System (MEMS) RFP.
The Office of Administrative and Technology Services (OATS) will be leading the effort on the SS-A update to MITA v3.0.

3 RESULTS OF THE MITA BUSINESS PROCESS GAP ANALYSIS
3.1 Overview
The MITA Framework Version 2.01 includes 79 business processes. However, the Authorize Referral (OM01) business process is not performed in Kentucky which reduced the total processes performed in Kentucky to 78. The majority (61 of 78) of business processes in Kentucky function at a MITA Maturity Level 1 with a few (17 of 78) functioning at Level 2. However, Kentucky is making significant progress toward increasing maturity levels on several fronts, including increased automation, process improvements, and the implementation and coordination of Health Information Exchange (HIE). Kentucky will also see capabilities increase with the implementation of the Kentucky MEMS. It is Kentucky’s expectation that all processes will be elevated to a maturity level of 2 or higher with the implementation of the new system.
The Gap Analysis results of the MITA business process assessment are presented below by the appropriate MITA business area. Each business area and focused area also includes a bulleted list that summarizes the To Be Gap for each business area. The bulleted lists are included as a starting point for strategic planning within business areas, operating agencies, and the KYME.
3.2 Future Capabilities of the Kentucky MITA Business Areas
Enhancements to the future capabilities of the KYME will focus on improved interoperability, direct access to shared databases, increased web technology, and the use of workflow tools to improve efficiency. The enhancements will also promote self-service for clients, providers, stakeholders, and other members of the Kentucky health community.
Sections 3.2.1 through 3.2.2 provide a detailed As Is level, To Be level, and gap descriptions for each business process. The 78 MITA Business process evaluated in the Commonwealth of Kentucky are separated into the eight MITA Business Areas as follows:

Figure 1: To Be Maturity Level Summary
There are several internal and external drivers that will need to be considered and addressed as part of MITA Strategic Roadmap. The key drivers are provided below.
Major External Drivers
CMS Enhanced Funding Requirements: Seven Conditions and Standards
The 7C&S require such significant change to the MMIS Enterprise that Kentucky changed its approach from enhancing the current system to issuing an RFP to replace the system. The 7C&S include a Modularity Standard, MITA Condition, Industry Standards Condition, Leverage Condition, Business Results Condition, Reporting Condition, and an Interoperability Condition.
V 2.0Page 17
Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
Affordable Care Act
The ACA will drive changes in eligibility determination, enrollment, and covered services.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
The opportunities for improvement through both MITA and ARRA will be met as part of a larger health information technology (HIT) improvement strategy. The projects outlined for the ARRA will dovetail the projects outlined in the MITA Strategic Roadmap and potentially provide an additional funding source for the KYME to realize projects.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Standards Legislation
On January 16, 2009, CMS issued two new HIPAA Modification Rules that require the promulgation of several more regulatory mandates in the next few years. The areas most impacted include Privacy and Security and Transactions and Code Sets compliance. CHFS must therefore integrate improvements into its strategic planning that bring existing systems and processes into compliance with these rules.
The first rule requires adoption of significant changes to transaction standards, including X12 (Accredited Standards Committee [ASC] X12) Version 5010 and (National Council for Prescription Drug Programs [NCPDP]) Version D.0, by January 1, 2012. Also included in the rule is a new standard for Medicaid subrogation for pharmacy claims, known as NCPDP Version 3.0.
The second rule requires adoption of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10) by October 2014. ICD-10 is an extensive revision to the current methodology for coding patient diagnoses, and as such, will require significant planning and coordination to upgrade system functionality.
Finally, standards for some HIPAA Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transaction types, notably the claims attachments (278) type, remain in draft form. Once promulgated into law, implementation of these standards will be a requirement to maintain HIPAA compliance. Monitoring the issuance of new transaction standards and integrating into strategic planning efforts must remain a continued focus of the KYME.
MITA
Through the MITA Initiative, CMS has directed states to progress up the MMM. The compartmentalized and complex nature of systems and processes within an entity the size of the KYME will require a thorough review and improvement strategy to transform the MITA maturity capabilities.

3.2.1 Business Relationship Management
3.2.1.1 Overview of Business Relationship Management
The Business Relationship Management (BR) business area encompasses those relationships that do not require contracts and may or may not require an exchange of data. Some of these relationships may be formalized by Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), while others are more informal in nature. Electronic exchange of data is not always required, but there may be an exchange of information. These relationships will be more critical as Electronic Health Records (EHRs) become more prevalent and covered entities develop policies regarding how related clinical data may be exchanged.
Figure 2: Business Relationship Management
This business area owns the standards for interoperability between the agency and its partners. It contains business processes that have a common purpose (i.e., establish the interagency service agreement, identify the types of information to be exchanged, identify security and privacy requirements, define communication protocol, and oversee the transfer of information).

3.2.1.2 Business Relationship To Be Summary
In reviewing the Business Relationship Management business area, all four business processes are determined to be at a MITA maturity level 1, while a number of these processes are approaching MITA maturity level 2 capabilities. The To Be goals for the Business Relationship Management business area calls for all 4 of the business processes to increase to a maturity level of 2.

3.2.2 Care Management
3.2.2.1 Overview of Care Management
The Care Management (CM) business area illustrates the growing importance of care management as the Medicaid program evolves. Care Management collects information about the needs of the individual member, plan of treatment, targeted outcomes, and the individual’s health status. It also contains business processes that have a common purpose (i.e., identify clients with special needs, assess needs, develop treatment plan, monitor and manage the plan, and report outcomes). This business area includes processes that support individual care management and population management. Population management targets groups of individuals with similar characteristics and needs and promotes health education and awareness.
Figure 4: Care Management
Care Management includes Disease Management; Catastrophic Case Management; Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT); Population Management; Patient Self-Directed Care Management; Immunization and other registries; Waiver Program Case Management; and programs yet to come. With individual patient and case manager access to

clinical data and treatment history, Care Management continues to evolve and increase in importance in the Medicaid Enterprise.
Members with special needs are the initial focus of Care Management. As the Medicaid Enterprise evolves, all beneficiaries could have access to care management, including self-directed decision-making.
3.2.2.2 Care Management To Be Summary

3.2.3 Contractor Management
3.2.3.1 Overview of Contractor Management
The Contractor Management (CO) business area accommodates states that have managed care contracts or a variety of outsourced contracts. Some states may, for example, group Provider and Contractor in one business area. The Contractor Management business area has a common focus (i.e., manage outsourced contracts), owns and uses a specific set of data (i.e., information about the contractor or the contract), and uses business processes that have a common purpose (i.e., solicitation, procurement, award, monitoring, management, and closeout of a variety of contract types).
Figure 6: Contractor Management
Creating a separate business area for Contractor Management allows the MITA BPM to highlight this part of the Medicaid Enterprise, which is becoming increasingly important to state Medicaid agencies. Indeed, it is the primary focus in some states that have comprehensive managed care or multiple-contractor operations. In the Contractor Management business area, the many types of healthcare service delivery contracts (i.e., managed care, at-risk mental health or dental care, primary care physician) and the many types of administrative services
V2.0Page 32
Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
(i.e., fiscal agent, enrollment broker, Surveillance and Utilization Review (SUR) staff, and third-party recovery) are treated as single business processes because the business process activities are the same, even though the input and output data and the business rules may differ.
3.2.3.2 Contractor Management To Be Summary
In reviewing the Contractor Management business area, 8 business processes are determined to be at a MITA maturity level 1. The business process, CO01: Produce Administrative or Health Services Contract is at a level 2. A number of these processes are approaching MITA maturity level 2 capabilities. The To Be goals for the Contractor Management business area call for 8 of the 9 business processes to increase to a maturity level of 2 with 1 increasing to level 3.

3.2.4 Member Management
3.2.4.1 Overview of Member Management
The Member Management (ME) business area is a collection of business processes involved in communications between the Medicaid agency and the prospective or enrolled members and actions that the agency takes on behalf of the member. These processes share a common set of member-related data. The goal for this business area is to improve healthcare outcomes and raise the level of consumer satisfaction.
This business area is transformed in the future from agency staff performing eligibility and enrollment functions to more patient self-directed decision making. Member Management business processes consolidate many eligibility and enrollment functions into a single, generic business process.
Figure 8: Member Management
Medicaid eligibility in Kentucky is determined by the Department of Community Based Services (DCBS) using the Kentucky Automated Management & Eligibility System (KAMES). Case workers at local offices in each of Kentucky’s 120 counties use a computer-based interactive interview using the KAMES system. KAMES is used to capture data and process eligibility determinations for various programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
V2,0Page 41
Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
(SNAP, formerly referred to as the Food Stamp Program), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP), Presumptive Eligibility (PE), as well as Medicaid.

3.2.5 Operations Management
3.2.5.1 Overview of Operations Management
The Operations Management (OM) business area is the focal point of most State Medicaid Enterprises today. It includes operations that support the payment of providers, managed care organizations (MCOs), other agencies, insurers, and Medicare premiums and support the receipt of payments from other insurers, providers, and member premiums.
This business area focuses on payments and receivables and “owns” all information associated with service payment and receivables. Most states have automated operations that support these payments and this area is probably the part of Medicaid that is most representatively aligned for all state Medicaid programs.
Common business processes include validating requests for payment and determining payable amount; responding to premium payment schedules and determining payable amount; and identifying and pursuing recoveries. The MITA Operations Management business area is illustrated by the diagram below:
V2.0Page 50
Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
Figure 10: Operations Management
Outside the Medicaid Enterprise, numerous other programs within CHFS have a role in a number of processes associated with this business area. This is especially true for any program that covers targeted services for eligible members, receives requests for payment for services rendered, processes payment requests, and makes payments.
The Authorize Referral Business Process is no longer performed by DMS and has been removed from the assessment. The previous Primary Care Case Manager (PCCM) process, called Kentucky Patient Access and Care (KenPAC), was replaced with an expansion of the managed care program. The MCOs are now responsible for managing any provider to provider referrals.
3.2.5.2 Operations Management To Be Summary
In reviewing the Operations Management business area, 15 business processes are determined to be at a MITA maturity level 1 and 10 are at a MITA maturity level of 2. The To Be goal for the

3.2.6 Program Integrity Management
3.2.6.1 Overview of Program Integrity Management
The Program Integrity (PI) business area incorporates those business activities that focus on program compliance (i.e., auditing and tracking medical necessity and appropriateness of care and quality of care, fraud, waste, and abuse, erroneous payments, and administrative abuses).
Program Integrity collects information about an individual provider or member (i.e., demographics; information about the case itself such as case manager identification, dates, actions, and status; and information about parties associated with the case). The business processes in this business area have a common purpose (i.e., to identify case, gather information, verify information, develop case, report on findings, make referrals, and resolve case). As with the previous business areas, a single business process may cover several types of cases. The input, output, shared data, and the business rules may differ by type of case, but the business process activities remain the same.
Figure 12: Program Integrity Management
3.2.6.2 Program Integrity Management To Be Summary
The two Program Integrity business processes have been determined to be at MITA maturity level 1. The DMS To Be goal for both of the Program Integrity business processes is MITA maturity level 2.

3.2.7 Program Management
3.2.7.1 Overview of Program Management
The Program Management (PG) business area houses the strategic planning, policy making, monitoring, and oversight activities of the agency. These activities depend heavily on access to timely and accurate data and the use of analytical tools. This business area uses a specific set of data (i.e., information about the benefit plans covered, services rendered, expenditures, performance outcomes, and goals and objectives) and contains business processes that have a common purpose (i.e., managing the Medicaid program to achieve the agency’s goals and objectives such as by meeting budget objectives, improving customer satisfaction, and improving quality and health outcomes).
This business area includes a wide range of planning, analysis, and decision-making activities, including benefit plan design, rate setting, healthcare outcome targets, and cost-management decisions. It also contains budget analysis, accounting, quality assessment, performance analysis, outcome analysis, continuity of operations plan, and information management.

Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
4 CONCLUSIONThe Kentucky MITA SS-A focuses on assessing the current status of Medicaid business processes, future goals for improvements, and identifying the gaps that need to be overcome. The continued prevalence of manual processes, compartmentalized operations, and restrictive policies that hinder increasing business process automation have kept Kentucky Medicaid in the compliance mode for most business processes.
For all business processes, Kentucky is currently at a MITA Maturity Level of 1 or 2. The Commonwealth’s goals are to increase the MITA capabilities to a maturity level of 2 and address the capabilities required to meet the CMS 7C&S Requirements. Kentucky is currently in the process of procuring a replacement for its current MMIS. The upcoming Kentucky MEMS procurement is an opportunity to address the gaps identified in this analysis by including new requirements for the replacement system that address the needed capabilities.
Business Relationship Management –The Business Relationship Management processes are working well for transaction based data exchanges. The non-standard requests would benefit from workflow tools and the standardization of requests and data. DMS should develop internal standards and adopt HIPAA data standards.
Care Management –The shift to managed care will shift the care management process from a task-oriented process to one of management and evaluation. DMS should develop standards and monitor MCO performance against those standards. The care management goals should also be incorporated into the MCO contracts. DMS will need to have access to Data Warehouse/Decision Support System (DW/DSS) tools to monitor effectiveness of care to capitated members.
Contractor Management – As a result of the shift to managed care, the health services contracts will need to be standardized and efficient. The ACA expands eligibility which will result in increased enrollment in the program and subsequently the MCOs. The ACA will also expand the covered services so the contracts need to allow for the policy changes. The data transfers to and from the MCOs need to utilize the standard HIPAA transactions and MITA formats.
DMS should work with other agencies to automate contract data, access, format, and eliminate duplication. While the contracts are currently stored in electronic format in a central location, the process needs better access to the centralized data.
Member Management – The Member Management business area suffers from many obstacles seen in other business areas and will see improvement from many of the same solutions. The implementation of the Health Benefit Exchange (HBE) system will improve automation in the eligibility determination and enrollment processes. The development of open interfaces and
V2.0Page 85
Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
increased system interoperability will result in better access to the global view of the member’s activity.
The increased use of managed care has resulted in the additional step of assigning the members into a managed care plan. The use of managed care has also shifted the focus from claims processing and administration to monitoring the quality and effectiveness of care.
Operations Management – Within the Operations Management business area, manual processes and paper documents are the primary drivers for the business processes. In order for the KYME to move to the next levels of MITA Maturity, manual processes need to be replaced by automation and inputs and outputs need to be in electronic format. The automation of tasks using workflow tools and a separate business rules engine will serve a dual benefit by improving MITA capabilities and also meeting 7C&S requirements.
The shift to dual model with MCOs handling the majority of the members will reduce the utilization of the Operations Management processes but not entirely eliminate the activity.
Program Integrity Management – The process needs to be integrated among the stakeholders in the enterprise. This would improve coordination. The program should also utilize more automated tools to improve the efficiency of the process. Other improvements needed to meet the To Be goals include the full use of HIPAA standards for transactions and the use of standard electronic interfaces for data exchange.
Program Management – The Program Management area has several opportunities for maturity improvement. The leading capability improvements are in the areas of improved data access, improved data accuracy, improved reporting, and the automation of manual tasks. DMS has already begun using HIPAA standard transactions and that process should be adopted as the standard.
The current political environment has generated numerous program policy changes that the Division will be required to implement. The political environment will continue to change and the Division needs a flexible and rules driven system that can rapidly adjust to change.
With the change to the dual model, the Division will need improved access to the encounter data to monitor the quality of care delivered to the MCO enrolled members.
Provider Management – Kentucky is making strides in offering automated, self-service channels for providers such as the KYMMIS and KYHealthNet websites. Significant barriers still exist to achieving higher MITA Maturity Levels. Continuing reliance on hardcopy forms prevents complete automation of some processes in this business area (e.g., provider enrollment).
V2.0Page 86
Kentucky MMIS Procurement 2012MITA SS-A Gap Analysis
The key areas required for maturity level improvement include the use of a rules engine in the enrollment process, establishing the NPI as the ID of record, establishing standard interfaces for provider validations, and improving the timeliness for enrollment.
In the next SS-A Deliverable, Cognosante presents the Transition Plan. The Transition Plan is a high-level work plan and narrative that identifies key projects that are needed to enable the KYME to address the gaps that have been indentified between the As Is and the To Be states, and transition the Medicaid Enterprise to an increased level of MITA Maturity.
