Delaware Selects Fox Systems to Conduct Its MITA SS-A and MMIS Planning
MCLEAN, Va. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Fox Systems (FOX) has been awarded the Medicaid Information Technology
Architecture (MITA) State Self-Assessment (SS-A) and Medicaid Management
Information System (MMIS) Automated System Planning project for the Delaware
Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Medicaid and
Medical Assistance (DMMA). With tools and methodologies used for
MITA assessments in 18 States, FOX will guide DMMA through both the MITA
SS-A and procuring enhancements to its current MMIS.
FOX's work will incorporate the principles of both MITA and the new CMS
MMIS Certification Toolkit. At the conclusion of the project SS-A, DMMA
will have four important documents: 1) "As-Is" and "To-Be" MITA maturity
levels for the 79 MITA business processes, 2) a MITA transition plan
that incorporates DMMA's strategic MITA vision, 3) the MITA SS-A
documentation necessary to submit an Implementation Advance Planning
Document to CMS, and 4) an RFP for the MMIS enhancement procurement. FOX
has been a key contractor to CMS in developing MITA since MITA's
inception in 2002 and firmly believes, with CMS, that MITA provides the
opportunity for States to redesign their Medicaid programs, and the
systems that support them, to be more flexible and efficient.
