The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) has selected NTT DATA, a digital IT services provider, to support the modernization of the state’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS).
With the new contract, NTT DATA has been selected as the System Integrator Technical Advisory professional services contractor for the State of Idaho. For the new Medicaid project, NTT DATA will work with IDHW to provide strategic and technical expertise in several areas, including:
- Strategic planning and design: NTT DATA will assist IDHW in developing a comprehensive technical framework for the modernization effort to include a standardized design for the development, integration, implementation, and operational standards for the System Integrator Hub.
- Integration and implementation support: NTT DATA will provide technical and operational recommendations and specifications for the architecture, design, and implementation of a state-led System Integration Hub to integrate the MMIS modules.
- Data management, governance, and training: NTT DATA will develop and implement a comprehensive Data Governance Board to create procedures and policies that help to ensure that IDHW’s data is of the highest quality and is accurate, consistent, and secure. This will include training and support for IDHW staff.
“We’re honored to support this crucial project for the state and the residents of Idaho who receive vital healthcare services through Medicaid,” said Dave Turner, NTT DATA’s division president for state and local government and education. “We look forward to collaborating with IDHW staff to modernize the state’s MMIS capabilities to ensure the efficient and effective delivery of high-quality healthcare services.”
