WA State Department of Social & Health Services

OCG provided project management, business design and vendor management for the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) Re-Procurement project. The MMIS is one of the largest transaction and decision support systems in the State. This 5 year, $137 Million project will replace the aging legacy MMIS and other ancillary systems within the department as well as implement new capabilities that will result in the new MMIS being the primary enterprise system for paying providers of services to DSHS clients. The new system impacts every administration within DSHS.

The project successfully completed the procurement phase in December 2004 resulting in a contract with a primary vendor responsible for the design, development and implementation of the system.  OCG is responsible for managing all aspects of the project in conjunction with the Vendor’s Project Manager. On the DSHS side, the project includes a core team of 37 FTE’s with an additional 21 FTE’s representing the various administrations assigned to the project. At peak staffing, there will be up to 180 vendor staff assigned to the project.

OCG also provided project management, business design and vendor management for the MMIS HIPAA project.  This was a project to upgrade the Medicaid Management Information System to be compliant with the then new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rules. The project developed front-end and middleware functionality to allow the MMIS system to receive, process and transmit HIPAA compliant transactions.

NextRx

OCG consultants were principal designers and developers of a revolutionary automated hospital pharmacy system, which dispenses true unit dose medications into secure mobile carts - from which medications are removed and administered to patients. The commercial product prototype, developed by Seattle-based NextRx, included a robust object-oriented architecture.

The NextCentral System controlled the automated dispensing of true unit dose medications in the hospital pharmacy into secure carts.  The system interfaced directly into hospital’s patient record systems for up to the minute patient assignment and prescription orders.

The NextPatient System consisted of mobile secure carts deployed to the hospital wards and hand-held devices which allowed nurses to retrieve medications, verify the patients and meds via bar code scanning, and record medication administration.

The system includes operator touch screens, hand-held personal PCs with built-in scanners, wireless mobile laptops, workstations and multiple servers. OCG's senior consultants played pivotal roles in the development of the architecture, and designed 100% of the interfaces for the commercial product. Technology: J2EE, Java Swing, HTML, DHTML, XML, XSLT, Oracle.
