Florida Health Care Connections (FX)
The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration is modernizing its approach to overall Agency functions in order to build better connections to relevant data sources and programs and improve health care options and outcomes.
FX Vision
Transforming Florida's Medicaid Enterprise to provide the best value, highest quality health care to Floridians.
FX Guiding Principles
Technology Trends
Health Care
- The value-based care model is becoming more common, which requires tracking health care outcomes rather than services delivered
- Interactions with managed care plans are changing the traditional roles and responsibilities
Technology
- Information Technology (IT) vendors are becoming more specialized in what they do
- Data sets and data needs are increasing in complexity
- Compatibility between different systems is of increasing importance
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
- CMS issued a rule in 2016 requiring states to follow a modular approach to Medicaid IT acquisition, which reduces system risk compared to a single vendor system
- Modularity means States can take advantage of vendor specialization in niche offerings and that the latest technology and processes can be implemented more quickly and cost effectively
