Abstract

Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) is a business initiative of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in cooperation with State programs. It is intended to stimulate an integrated business and technological transformation of the Medicaid enterprise in all states. MITA can improve Medicaid program administration by aligning business processes and supporting technology with national guidelines. The MITA Framework is a consolidation of principles, business and technical models, and guidelines that provides a template for states to use in development of their individual enterprise architectures. It is utilized in a manner that is consistent with CMS‟ expectations. In the future, MITA guidelines will support states‟ requests for appropriate Federal financial participation (FFP) for their Medicaid Management Information Systems (MMIS).
