Many states are in some stage of transition to a more modular environment. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge for states and vendors. CMS is encouraging the Medicaid IT ecosystem to evolve from developing custom solutions, toward using more COTS and SaaS solutions. This opens the door for more non-traditional Medicaid vendors who may provide innovative solutions.
This will be a collaborative roundtable focused on what states need from vendors so innovative solutions can be introduced into their environment. We will discuss any modules across the enterprise with focus on care management, analytics, and population health solutions. A sample of the topics that will be discussed include:
- What are the short and long-term goals of state IT departments?
- What challenges are states having as they move towards modularity?
- What does a non-traditional vendor need to understand to better meet a state’s needs?
- Are you finding that certain modules of the Medicaid Enterprise are better aligned to move away from custom solution?
- What are innovative ideas that states, and vendors can do to partner for better solutions?
