Below is a list of proposed IT Projects that are currently in the PAL review and approval process with the California Department of Technology (CDT). For purposes of this list “PAL Stage” refers to the last document officially submitted to CDT.
Projects are removed from this list when they exit the PAL process because: 1) the Agency/state entity receives CDT’s approval to begin project implementation; 2) CDT approves a Project Delegation Request; 3) the Agency/state entity withdraws the project; or 4) the CDT denies the project approval.
The purpose of the proposed project is for the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), as the State Medicaid Agency (SMA), to implement Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for Patient Access, Provider Directory, and Drug Formulary to comply with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Interoperability and Patient Access Final Rule. The APIs will enable beneficiaries to access personal health information, list of providers, and outpatient prescription drugs via Third Party Applications. The implementation of APIs will empower beneficiaries to coordinate their own health care, provide opportunity for providers and beneficiaries to make informed health care decisions, and reduce the burden to payers and providers that can lead to better health outcomes for beneficiaries.
