6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2010?
Operations and Maintenance
7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?
FY2001 or earlier
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 primary purpose of this investment is to establish an accurate, current, and comprehensive database containing standardized enrollment, eligibility, and paid claims of Medicare beneficiaries to be used for the administration of Medicaid at the Federal level, produce statistical reports, support Medicaid related research, and assist in the detection of fraud and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Medicaid Data Systems includes the Medicaid Statistical Information System (MSIS), as well as data storage (flat files, data warehouse, and data marts). This investment satisfies the core business function for the information needs of Center for Medicaid and State Operations (CMSO). It is critical for CMS to develop the State Phased-down contribution by States for full dual eligibles entitled to Part D benefits to support CMS' strategic goal of promoting fiscal integrity. Besides being the core information system for CMSO, MSIS supports much of the Medicaid research and analysis performed by the Congressional Budget Office and the Congressional Research Service. MSIS and the accompanying data storage is also a key resource for other Federal agencies and research projects involving Medicaid. The first business driver is the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997. The BBA requires all States to submit MSIS files containing eligibility and claims utilization information to meet the program needs of CMS and to provide required information for congressional staffs and other Federal agencies and researchers. The second business driver is the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003. MMA created a new drug benefit as Part D of Medicare. One of the provisions of MMA was to use MSIS data to develop a per capita payment amount for full dual eligible beneficiaries that each State will pay to CMS on a monthly basis under the State phased-down contribution provision of the MMA. If this investment was not funded, legislative mandates would not be able to be met. This investment also directly supports the PMA initiative of Expanded E-government through electronic data transmission and data sharing. Additionally, it helps achieve the HHS Strategic goal of 'Improve health care quality, safety, cost, and value'. The annual operational analysis indicates this investment continues to provide the expected benefits and fill the gap for which it was designed. It continues to be the most cost-effective solution.

SUMMARY OF SPEND


1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.

All amounts represent Budget Authority

Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).

Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

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?
no
2.b. If no, please explain why?
New major initiative that is being added to the target architecture and will appear in the next transition plan.
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.
