Accenture Picked to Help District of Columbia Healthcare Reform, Big4.com Reports
Jun 05, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --
Big4.com, the premier social networking forum for professionals and alumni of Accenture, Andersen, BearingPoint, Capgemini, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers PwC, reports that Accenture will work with the District of Columbia to enable integrated health and human service eligibility processes and support compliance with federal health insurance exchange deadlines for that area.
Big4.com reports that Accenture was selected as the District's IT Requirements vendor following a competitive bid process. The necessary steps to revamp the health and human services include: changing Medicaid eligibility processes, the creation of new self-service tools and capabilities and the creation of a Health Benefits Exchange to open access to affordable health insurance. Federal funding associated with healthcare reform also will allow the District to procure a new integrated eligibility system.
The new system will serve multiple health and human service agencies and programs, supporting the District's goal to improve city-wide integration of services.
Julie Booth, Accenture's human services North American managing director for State, Provincial and Local government comments:
"This plan will guide the District's ultimate replacement of a legacy system with a modern solution that enables district-wide case management and real-time functionality," she says. "The District is wisely moving to an IT approach that allows for more data-sharing, uses innovative technology and is more easily updated and scaled for growth through configuration rather than coding."
