Project Overview:
The Agency requested and received a general budget appropriation to procure and implement a data collection auditing system (herein referred to as Auditing System). This system and process modernization is expected to create efficiencies and cost savings for both the Agency and submitting providers, as well as ensure future stability for this statutorily required and critical core Agency function. The primary objectives for this modernization effort include:

  • Improve Process Efficiency – minimizing the time and resources required to submit/collect, certify, and make available more timely data through process automation and system modernization (reducing the 5-month certification period);
  • Protect and Preserve Data Quality – maintaining, at a minimum, the current data quality and certification levels that have historically resulted in Florida being recognized as a national leader in health care data consistency and quality; and
  • Facilitate Improved Data Integration and Sharing – increasing the frequency, availability, and interoperability of data between the discharge data system and other data systems both internal and external to the Agency.
  • This will require the development and delivery of a new data collection auditing application that will connect to the Agency’s tracking system. The application will integrate an audit functionality with the Agency infrastructure.

This contract is to procure the IT staff augmentation resources required to build a custom wrap-around system which will integrate with one or more third-party software components to provide capabilities such as pre-submission (file testing and editing) tool for data scrubbing, auditing, and grouping. This hybrid will integrate with an in-house solution that incorporates a new submission website utilizing industry standard web service and integration technologies and Agency enterprise IT standards.
