Medicaid Information Technology Architecture: An Overview

The Medicaid Information Technology Architecture MITA is a roadmap and tool kit for States to transform their Medicaid Management Information System MMIS into an enterprise wide, beneficiary centric system. MITA will enable State Medicaid agencies to align their information technology (IT) opportunities with their evolving business needs. It also addresses long- standing issues of interoperability, adaptability, and data sharing, including clinical data, across organizational boundaries by creating models based on nationally accepted technical standards.
