Home and Community Based Waiver Information System (COMPASS)  

COMPASS, the successor to MI Choice Information System (MICIS) supports the HCBS waiver by gathering assessment information, care plan and service plans, and vendor bills.  Medicaid claims are also processed.  The system provides both standard and ad-hoc reports, including all reports based on the MDS-HC algorithms (Quality Indicators, CAPS and Triggers, and RUG III HC reports).

Vendor View

Vendor View is a HIPAA-secure web portal that shares important information about participants and services with service providers.  Vendor View automates service authorizations and eliminates the need to fax or mail these documents.  Service providers log in to get notices of new or changed services, changed care settings (e.g. person is hospitalized) and other information, and can run reports when they wish.

PICK for Quality Assurance Reviews (PICQAR)

PICQAR (PICK for Quality Assurance Reviews) was created in conjunction with the University of Michigan Center for Frail and Vulnerable Elderly, which contracts with the Michigan Department of Community Health to provide quality assurance reviews for the Home and Community Based Elderly and Disabled Waiver.  The portable quality assurance software groups a series of standards into categories, and allows reviewers to mark each standard as not evident, or partially or completely evident.  In addition, depending on the response, the software displays review guide material and draft comments to assist in the review.

New Hampshire ADRC Project and Bailit Associates  

CIM was hired by Bailit Associates to review the existing data collection processes, develop data specifications and data elements required for the new state ADRC project, and develop a new business process for the pilot projects.  In addition, CIM drafted the request for proposal, led the proposal review process, developed an assessment of each software vendor, and consulted on the final decision for software vendor.   The selected software was successfully installed, and is now in use statewide in support of the ServiceLink project.
