HHS Technology and Management Assessments

Reviews, Recommendations, and Strategic Vision for Infrastructure, Applications, and Service Management

States and the federal government have invested billions into Health and Human Services (HHS) systems, including Integrated Eligibility (IE) and Medicaid Enterprise Systems (MES). As states consider procuring new systems or enhancing existing systems, they should assess where they are today and set a road map for the future. 

These HHS programs need third-party reviews of their infrastructure, applications, and system management. CMA has over 30 years of experience supporting HHS and is uniquely qualified to assist in this work.

 These independent reviews help:

  • Minimize the risk of repeat security incidents
  • Confirm ITIL-based processes are in place for operations
  • Identify issues with infrastructure, architecture, and functionality
  • Assist with federal funding and advanced planning documents
  • Assess statutory and regulatory compliance

CMA reviews the processes and collaborates with the customer to determine critical areas of improvement. We use techniques such as process shadowing, staff and management interviews, documentation reviews, tool reviews, and reporting reviews.
