CMS Master Data Management (MDM)
Investment ID: 009-000314914
Overview
Program Title
CMS Master Data Management (MDM)
Description
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), H. R. 3590, was signed into law on 23 March 2010. Implementation of the ACA requires CMS to link and synchronize Beneficiary, Provider, and Organization data from multiple disparate sources. Provider and Beneficiary data must be obtainable through a single call to a trusted, authoritative data service. The Master Data Management (MDM) project provides services that allow CMS to meet ACA provisions that require master data management across internal CMS applications and external systems. These services include: Master Index that provides a universal entity identifier and contains definitions of identifiable attributes that define a master data type. Profiles and relationships that provide the relationship between an entity and an organization and provides the profiles of the entity. MDM also provides data products/services that provide business applications access to integrated MDM profile data and relationships.
