Arkansas' approach to Medicaid management

Arkansas Medicaid covers more than one-third of state residents through a $9 billion program and needed better systems to manage, assess, monitor and measure program effectiveness. The state implemented an enterprise data warehouse called the Decision Support System (DSS) as the backbone for key program components, plus a Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) Early Warning System that runs weekly data-quality audits to catch abnormalities early. This helps resolve data issues before official CMS assessments, supporting improved results in payment accuracy, legislative reporting, and overall Medicaid management performance on monthly CMS evaluations.
