8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
The core objective of Beneficiary e-Services is to create a virtual enterprise-wide multi-contact channel for handling beneficiaries' inquiries that maximizes resources & service effectiveness across all systems. E-Services modernize & improve CMS customer service through one-stop service by employing industry best practices in Customer Relationship Management. The result promotes access to quality health care and provides premier customer services to our special needs & elderly population. Beneficiary eServices is an integral part of CMS' goals of modernization, contracting reform, accelerated use of electronic health information and implementation of Medicare prescription drug benefit as well as the PMA eGovernment. E-Services include Contact Center Technology & Operations, two public web sites and a beneficiary web portal. Contact Center technology uses a single toll free # to connect callers to an Interactive Voice Response system (IVR), improving beneficiaries' ability to get information when & how they need it. The IVR will provide automated self-service information & transactions to callers. Based on selections made, callers will be routed to the next available, best qualified Agent using Intelligent Call Routing (ICR) software. The Next Generation Desktop (NGD) application accesses CMS data systems to answer Medicare inquiries on enrollment, claims, health care options, preventive services & prescription drug benefits; the NGD integration layer is also used by the IVR and MyMedicare.gov beneficiary portal to access data from a variety of CMS mainframe shared systems thus achieving cost efficiencies, improved manageability, data consistency & reduced systems development times & improved network security. This investment comprises the IT supporting 1-800 MEDICARE. Data from the various contact channels is stored in a data warehouse & will be leveraged to offer improved services to callers. The www.medicare.gov & www.cms.hhs.gov websites offer 1-stop shopping to beneficiaries, providers & CMS partners. www.medicare.gov has interactive tools on Prescription Drug Plan Finder, Nursing Home & Hospital Compare & other tools. MyMedicare.gov beneficiary portal is a part of www.medicare.gov & allows users to log in & have access to personalized information such as enrollment, preventive services, claims, prescription drugs. www.cms.hhs.gov, is the official Agency website targeted to healthcare professionals, policy makers, researchers, & the media.

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.

Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

Enterprise Architecture


In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA.

1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
yes
2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
yes
2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
CMS Beneficiary e-Services
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
no
4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.

Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.
