MITA Governance Board Overview
The MITA Governance Board (MGB) was established in 2016 and is the collaborative body responsible for the strategic direction and tactical oversight of the MITA framework. The MGB also provides a forum for State Medicaid Agencies (SMAs), providers, and the vendor community to share their perspectives in support of MGB goals.
MGB has sponsored and kicked off the following workgroups:
- MITA NextGen Workgroup - Update and refine the roles of Business Architecture (BA), Technical Architecture (TA), and Information Architecture (IA) in the evolution of MITA.
- MITA Interoperability Workgroup - Promote the principles of interoperability and open standards in Medicaid, including Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), and produce guidance to help State agencies in their journeys toward interoperability.
- State Self-Assessment (SS-A) Workgroup - Research and recommend a reimagined SS-A that is less burdensome and more useful to states and CMS.
- MITA Communications Workgroup - Promote awareness of MITA at conferences, distribute news about MITA changes, and design an improved approach to publishing MITA guidance.
