2018 State HIT Connect Summit

States have been adopting the Medicaid Enterprise Certification Life Cycle (MECL) and Toolkit (MECT) for MMIS implementations, and the Medicaid Eligibility and Enrollment Life Cycle (MEELC) and Toolkit (MEET) for IE&E implementations in alignment with CMS guidance. Compliance with the processes and milestone reviews reduces overall project risk, assures the continuation of federal funding, and prepares states for final MMIS Certification and IE&E system acceptance. While CMS has standardized the process for certification/system acceptance, the experiences within each State are very different. The goal of this session is to help favorably position you for each of your milestone reviews, including the important final system certification/acceptance. Join us as we discuss our experiences and lessons learned as the PMO and IV&V partner across ten state projects. We will share salient takeaways and provide recommended actions and considerations for you whether you are implementing one module or are in the middle of the full-system implementation.
