Job description:

• The Division of Medicaid (DOM) is seeking a hands-on Project Manager for the implementation of a cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) Enterprise Master Person Index (EMPI). The EMPI will be used by DOM to maintain accurate identity management (Medicaid beneficiary identity data) across the DOM enterprise. Medicaid beneficiary identity data can include Medicaid ID, name, gender, date of birth, race, ethnicity, social security number, current address, contact information, and insurance information. The

• Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has mandated the Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) strategic vision for all State Medicaid Agencies. A core component of the MITA vision and framework is the collection, aggregation, and utilization of Medicaid beneficiary clinical data by State Medicaid Agencies. This Medicaid beneficiary clinical data will come primarily from clinical systems such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs) via interfaces to external stakeholders such as Medicaid providers, the Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) and the State of Mississippi’s Health Information Network, MS-HIN.

• The Division of Medicaid (DOM) is implementing an Agency-wide Enterprise Master Person Index, or EMPI, the EMPI will provide new Medicaid identity management services for DOM to programs including the Medicaid Enterprise System Assistance (MESA), provide identity management in partnership with the Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) for the DOM – MDHS Health and Human Services Transformation Project (HHSTP), as well as support other DOM Agency programs and systems with identity management services including the existing Clinical Data Interoperability Program (CDIP) EMPI. The new, Agency-wide DOM EMPI will provide a source of truth for 2 Medicaid beneficiaries, and allow multiple, disparate DOM programs, systems and services, and the DOM-MDHS HHSTP, to access and validate Medicaid beneficiary identities in real-time.

• DOM’s multiple systems contribute to duplicate identities across the agency, which causes challenges as there is no single source of truth for identities. With the implementation of the EMPI solution, DOM expects each Medicaid beneficiary to be assigned a unique identifier, so they are represented only once across multiple DOM systems. Below is a description of two of DOM’s major projects that must be addressed by the initial EMPI solution.

• The Health and Human Services Transformation Project (HHSTP) was established with a goal to develop an interoperable Health and Human Services model that provides coordinated client services, reduces fraud and abuse, achieves greater administrative efficiency, promotes self-sufficiency, and introduces innovation to improve the lives of Mississippians served by DOM and MDHS.

• DOM and MDHS developed a joint roadmap to implement a series of modules to accomplish the vision of HHSTP and comply with the provisions of the Hope Act. The existing DOM Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), provided by DXC Corporation, provides the foundation of a modular design and development services infrastructure for HHSTP. All modules implemented between the two agencies shall utilize the DOM ESB for real-time and standards-based connectivity.

• The EMPI solution will act as a centralized identity management service for DOM and the HHSTP project, with the hope that it will eventually support the broader system-to-system interoperability for other Mississippi e-health initiatives. Most importantly, the EMPI will provide the cornerstone for electronic records containing client personal and health information in the State of Mississippi. The main purpose for an EMPI is to create unique and non-duplicated client identities across agencies and systems. The EMPI has an essential role to play, facilitating trusted data exchange while protecting the privacy of client information. The EMPI provides a real-time way to locate, identify, match and cleanse information about a person from many sources to create a unique view. It is proven to reduce duplicate records within and across systems to improve client administration and care. Member identification and authentication will also enhance program integrity.
