The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is conducting a massive overhaul of its healthcare management technology systems to improve integration and provide better information to providers, American Medical News reports.
New configurations – known as the Greenfield projects – are expected to provide the foundation necessary to transform the agency into a data-driven business. The CMS is attempting to develop a single convenient resource to share information between Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Such a strategy would both promote healthcare transparency and support advanced information technology, according to the agency.
