Regardless of our home state, in the Medicaid industry we face similar challenges due to the nature of our work and the various requirements set forth by the federal government. The National Medicaid Enterprise Hub (NMEH) is a workgroup whose goal is to share solutions to common challenges. Within the workgroup, we can collaborate and share ideas in an effort to minimize unnecessary time "reinventing the wheel," thereby increasing our efficiency and effectiveness.

NMEH has been effective since inception, but we took a large step forward in early 2014 by establishing our collaboration portal. NMEH chose the IBM SmartCloud framework for our collaboration portal and has tailored the framework to NMEH's unique needs.

Our unifying goal is to share solutions to common challenges. As such, it is logical that our collaboration portal includes a library of documents, such as APDs, RFPs and other similar reference material. Historically, states have been dependent on personal networks when planning an enterprise solution to key compliance measures such as MITA, ACA and HITECH. However, with the assets available in our portal, states can easily tap into a wealth of information about how other states are effectively solving the same problems.

The portal is not just a library of reference documents. Users can leverage the portal to facilitate online meetings, capture action items and solicit secure surveys.

Users can create their own library of documents as well as contribute to other group libraries. In addition, sub-workgroups can form to allow small groups with a common goal to collaborate closely and effectively.

The above only scratches the surface of how the portal improves our ability to collaborate more effectively in solving common challenges…
