Readying the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Information Technology Systems to Meet Emerging Needs

The mission of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is shifting from one primarily concerned with claims payment to one centered on improving the efficiency, quality, safety, and equity of U.S. health care services.

CMS is also responsible for testing innovative care and payment models and overseeing and supporting the state-based insurance exchanges called for in the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In light of these challenges, CMS asked the National Research Council to review the centers’ plans for modernizing and developing its information systems.
