  • HIMSS 2018 Reference Architecture Abstract

“States’ IT systems are critical for successful operation of Medicaid, the nation’s largest public health insurance program. Increasingly, modular and interoperable Medicaid IT systems are becoming vital for making sure that programs are able to address the changing needs of the beneficiaries, stay in compliance with regulations, and result in reducing program costs per beneficiary. A Medicaid Reference Architecture (RA) defines a standard, extensible set of business processes, object definitions, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for State Medicaid Agencies and provides technical specifications to help ensure interoperability and reusability of modules and information across multi-organization, multi-vendor, and multi-technology systems nationwide. This session will discuss the goals, principles, and guiding practices for a nationwide Medicaid architecture and will present service definitions for key Medicaid functional areas to generate discussion and feedback.”
