of the MiHIN Technical Work Group. This collaboration with the MiHIN and the Medicaid
agency allowed for the natural progression of coordination between the MiHIN project and the
Medicaid EHR Incentive Program.
The Medicaid EHR Incentive Program is also led by the Director of Medicaid Operations and
Quality Assurance. Several of the MiHIN Program Office staff are members of the Medicaid
EHR Incentive Program planning initiative. The State’s HIT Coordinator is a member of the
EHR Incentive Program planning steering committee. The MiHIN Project Lead is a member of
the Medicaid EHR Incentive Work Group. The Medicaid EHR Incentive Work Group was
charged with developing the Michigan Department of Technology Planning – Advanced
Planning Document (HIT P-APD).
Through the coordinated planning process of the MiHIN and the Medicaid EHR Incentive
Program, two shared objectives were identified. Both initiatives seek to accelerate Medicaid
beneficiaries’ coordination of care and streamline eligible professionals’ meaningful use
reporting requirements through the secure electronic exchange of health information.
The strategies Michigan will take to accomplish these objectives are:
1. To continue the coordinated planning efforts of the MiHIN and the Medicaid EHR
Incentive Program
2. To leverage existing State of Michigan health information technology assets
3. To develop electronic services and directories shared between the MiHIN and the
Medicaid agency.
Michigan will continue to have members from both initiatives participate in the planning and
implementation efforts to ensure the shared objectives are accomplished. The project
management of the implementation of the Michigan Medicaid EHR Incentives and the MiHIN
implementation will be coordinated. An overall project plan will be developed to synchronize the
timelines of the shared tasks and deliverables.
To improve the Medicaid beneficiaries’ coordination of care, MiHIN Shared Services will
leverage the data warehouse integration capabilities and extract pertinent administrative and
clinical information making it electronically available in a Continuity of Care Document (CCD)
format to Medicaid providers through the Michigan Health Information Network. MiHIN Shared
Services in partnership with the sub-state HIEs will also leverage the repository capacity and
analytical capabilities of the data warehouse to support the quality reporting requirements.
Michigan’s Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS), Community Health Automated
Medicaid Processing System (CHAMPS) will be enhanced to aid in the administration and
monitoring of the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program. CHAMPS will also be leveraged to
streamline eligible professionals’ meaningful use reporting requirements. Eligible professionals
will be able to report directly from their EHRs, sending the data through the sub-state HIEs into
the MiHIN Shared Services and then into CHAMPS.
