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 overall goal of Q-Net is to provide a common IT platform to support QIO operations, promote application, data & information sharing, & to support management information. Under the QIO program CMS maintains contracts with independent community-based organizations to ensure that medical care paid under the Medicare program is reasonable & medically necessary, meets professionally recognized standards of quality, & is provided in the most economical setting. QNET is also the gateway to QualityNet Exchange which is the only CMS-approved website for secure communications and healthcare quality data exchange between QIOs, hospitals, physician offices, nursing homes, ESRD networks and facilities, and data vendors. The purpose of QualityNet Exchange is to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries through increased efficiencies in information exchange. QualityNet Exchange accomplishes this goal by providing secure, real-time communications & data exchange (within their secured password-protected pages; depending on the roles they have been assigned) between two or more organizations (hospitals, QIOs, Performance Measurement Systems, CDACs, CMS, & other facilities as directed by CMS). QNET was developed in response to ongoing information requirements of the QIOs, other affiliated partners (e.g., CDACs) to fulfill their contractual requirements. The contract SOWs cover 3-year periods, and includes data center operations, application development, telecommunication fees, and other IT infrastructure. QNET also provides the application, data, and physical infrastructure to support the SOW with the efficient collection, analysis, dissemination, & management of data guiding policy & intervention, as well as SOW evaluation. QNET, operational in May 1997, interfaces with CMS CO/ROs, QIES, ESRD networks, 53 QIOs, and CDAC systems. As CMS has moved development to the Web, & as the QIO program mission has changed via legislative requirements, QNET has expanded greatly. In FY06, the QNET system supported the CMS' P4P program in its initial phase (the Physician Voluntary Reporting), and now includes QualityNet.org, (initial web portal for all external customers). The QNet directly supports goals in PMA Initiative "Expanded E-Government" & the HHS strategic plan of "Improving Health Care Quality, Safety, Cost and Value."

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.

Cost Type	Py-1 & Earlier -2007	PY 2008	CY 2009	BY 2010

Government FTE Cost	3.000	3.200	3.200	3.300
# of FTEs	18	18	18	18

2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?

yes

2.a. If "yes," how many and in what year?

8 new FTEs to support new requirements and growth of system. Proper federal oversight of this system will require addtional FTE resources.If the agency is not given the addtional FTE's proper managment and oversight may lax. These should have been added starting in FY08. This is due to a new scope of work and increase in effort. A zero base budget drill was performed and showed the need for at least 8 new FTE's to keep all work moving and properly managed.

3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.

Spending has increased from the FY2008 President's budget request since the Q-NET exhibit E300 now includes the costs needed to suppport the QIO 9th Scope of Work (SOW).

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.

3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:

Project slack has been built into DME schedules to accommodate schedule variations and uncertainties. Where possible, firm fixed price contracts have been used to limit government risk and maintain the stability of life cycle cost estimates. Performance-based statements of work are being put in place moving forward to allow the government more control over outcomes and costs versus outcomes. Life cycles costs are risk adjusted; some of the development work carries more risk due to the nature of unfolding requirements and changing technologies. The development costs have been adjusted to accomodate the risk. A SDLC framework is followed for every project to help mitigate risk, these cost are built into the investment.
