Cloud and modular development most government systems have lagged way behind However we are now in a period of rapid system change so we need to adopt the industry standards for faster development cycles, increased software functions, sharing and lower costs as we move forward 07/12/2012 4 Observations of the MMIS Industry Landscape Multiple Vendors at 2016 MESC demonstrating Modular MMIS Framework. Multiple new players in the space:
Systems Integrator PMO Data Warehousing Provider Enrollment seems to have growing traction with modular solutions being developed and offered. MMIS Modularity Toolkit UpdatesDrivers 6 Technology Driver Lean Agile
Cloud Open Source COTS/SaaS Open API Business Rules Engines Interoperability Rapid Technological Advancements is enabling MMIS systems modernization. Innovative technological approaches that automate Medicaid business processes and services, such as systems related to: member eligibility and enrollment, claims payment, member benefit management and financial management A common security framework, cloud computing, data analytics, common
data repository, consumer-facing portals New business models, such as shared services (inter and intra state) Adaptations of existing business solutions from comparable sectors, such as: banking commercial healthcare large provider systems MACBIS Modular Toolkit UpdatesDesign 9 MACBIS Background In 2012, in recognition it was an agency priority to improve access to
timely, complete, and accurate Medicaid and CHIP data, CMS created MACBIS. Effectively managing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the state Medicaid and CHIP programs requires extensive system design and development efforts. The previous Medicaid and CHIP data environment did not adequately meet the needs of Medicaid and CHIP data users. Data, data products and technology did not provide the agency with sufficient access to information on the Medicaid and CHIP programs to facilitate effective program administration and oversight. 10 MACBIS Pillars The 4 Functional Areas of MACBIS MACPro WMS

program Engage strong domain knowledge to ensure continuity of operations while transitioning from legacy to new development and technological platforms Also, make sure your business teams are prepared for what Agile development means, what is going to be asked of them and how their roles are different as compared to Waterfall development methods.
