Medicaid Management Information System IV&V
SLI is delivering IV&V services for the Wyoming MMIS project. The project, called WINGS (for Wyoming Integrated Next Generation System), is a complex, multi-vendor endeavor that is critically important to Wyoming citizens and healthcare providers. SLI is helping Wyoming’s Department of Health (WDH) reduce risks inherent in this large-scale IT project by using IV&V as a means to independently assess and improve the health of WINGS over the life of the project.
As WDH’s IV&V partner, SLI conducts lifecycle Project Initiation Milestone Reviews, Operational Milestone Reviews, and MMIS Certification Final Reviews for each of the following six separate WINGS component procurements:
- Pharmacy Benefit Management System
- System Integrator/ Enterprise Service Bus
- Data Warehouse with Business Intelligence Tools
- Fraud, Waste, Abuse Analytics and Case Tracking
- Third-Party Liability Services
- Benefit Management System
As a means of risk mitigation, WDH has engaged the services of SLI’s Government Solutions Division to provide the following IV&V services:
- Perform independent review of major deliverables and processes
- Identify deviations from plans or execution of those plans that jeopardize the WINGS
- Recommend risk mitigation options and corrective actions
- Ensure findings are clearly documented so the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and WDH can incorporate the findings in its decision-making process
