Software AG Works with Alabama Department of Public Health to Address Affordable Care Act Requirements

Business Wire
Software AG today announced that the Alabama Department of
Public Health (ADPH) has selected the company to help them meet
Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements through modernizing their
legacy eligibility determination systems.
Healthcare reform is necessitating dramatic programmatic and
system transformation for states. The need for technology to keep
pace with changes in business processes has never been more
apparent. The Alabama Department of Public Health is the
primary state health agency for the state of Alabama. Through the
application of Software AG’s ARIS technology and its webMethods
Business Process Management Suite (BPMS), along with SOA Governance
capabilities, the ADPH will be able to meet near term ACA deadlines
by January 2014 while streamlining the eligibility and enrollment
process and creating a system that automates application
processing. The result: faster, more accurate eligibility
determinations for the state’s citizens, and savings of millions of
dollars.
The ability to quickly take new ACA business processes from a
strategy and design point of view in ARIS Business Architect and
transform them into models for process automation in webMethods was
a key differentiator as the state looks to be a model for Medicaid
Information Technology Architecture (MITA) maturity guidelines
provided by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
“The Software AG team was very accessible to us throughout the
selection process and were able to show exactly how their ARIS and
webMethods solutions would help us map the key Medicaid eligibility
processes and integrate all of our systems more effectively,” said
Regina Patterson, Director of Business Operations for the Alabama
Department of Public Health. “Implementing these solutions will
enable us to meet the healthcare needs of Alabamians more quickly
and effectively in coordination with the Affordable Care Act.”
“The Alabama Department of Public Health is approaching the
Affordable Care Act and the needs of its citizens in an innovative
and cost-conscious manner,” said Dave Barber, Vice President of
State & Local Government, Software AG. “We are pleased they
selected us to support them with this advancement and look forward
to a great working relationship.”
