The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) had been operating its current MMIS for over 20 years. In order to improve interoperability between systems and agencies, DHS launched a major initiative to modernize its MMIS within a common framework Service Oriented Architecture.
Strategy and Planning
Minnesota selected CSG to provide strategy and planning services for its MMIS modernization effort, including conducting their MITA 3.0 State Self-Assessment. CSG completed an alternatives assessment, feasibility study, and cost-benefit analysis to identify requirements and support buy/build decision making. CSG also developed an MMIS Modernization Roadmap for aligning the MMIS modernization effort with other State systems and technologies. The roadmap is built on a collaborative approach to integrate MMIS, Health Insurance Marketplace, and integrated eligibility systems. CSG also produced an Implementation Advance Planning Document (IAPD) to obtain federal funding for the project.
