Specifications include, but are not limited to: The STATE is soliciting proposals for a fully integrated Patient Access and Provider Directory API with Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) that will give patients access to their health information and move the healthcare system toward greater interoperability. These API’s are required to be developed utilizing Health Level 7® (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR) Release 4.0.1 as the foundational standard to support data exchange via secure APIs. The development, design, and implementation of these API’s must also comply to all federal requirements outlined under CMS-9115-F of the Federal Registry. Current CMS Federal deadline is July 1, 2021; however, the STATE has not targeted a go-live date with CMS. STATE may have the option to file for a good faith effort request waiver if the implementation does not meet the July 1, 2021 deadline. Offeror’s are asked to consider this deadline when completing proposed schedule below.
