The COR 22-033 LIDDA EDI Enhancements Project will develop an electronic data interface (EDI) between the LIDDA and the Long-Term Care Online Portal.
LIDDAs provide service coordination to individuals with IDD in the community and in some Medicaid waiver programs. Each LIDDA chooses their systems and software to complete assessments, develop services plans, and store documentation. There is not an electronic data interface (EDI) with the state’s LTC portal and LIDDA’s systems. As a result, service coordinators who enter information in the LIDDA’s system must manually enter the same information in the state’s LTC portal. Funds will be distributed in grants to LIDDAs to allow them to build an EDI with the LTC portal, gaining efficiencies as dual entry into multiple systems will no longer be necessary. State resources are allocated in an existing project to build the EDI in the state’s LTC portal. The development of an EDI will reduce manual work for service coordinators, creating efficiencies in their work processes and allowing staff more time to work directly with the clients they serve.
This project is complex and will require the knowledge, skills, and abilities of business analysts to work alongside existing program and contractor staff to successfully complete the project on time and within the budgeted funding. The Business Analyst II will be responsible for gathering, analyzing, and documenting requirements to fulfill the program’s business needs; serving as a liaison between IT and program staff and stakeholders to communicate the correct requirements needed to ensure a successful outcome; identifying and prioritizing the requirements to determine the best value to the agency; documenting and prioritizing the product backlog to ensure efficient use of resources; and managing operations team mobilization at project initiation and until demobilization for transition to operations. The program area does not currently have a staff resource with the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities required of a Business Analyst II.
