DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

MCS seeks to expand its desktop ArcGIS environment to a more robust, sustainable enterprise cloud platform to promote data sharing. This will help Medicaid identify where there are gaps in geographic coverage of Medicaid providers, as compared to client locations so that program can make adjustments to service areas, and also for Medicaid to publish geographic maps that better assist in connecting clients and providers. Currently they only have a desktop environment and cannot publish sensitive data to ESRI’s public cloud offering due to it having PHI/PII. Without this being extended to an enterprise server environment, Medicaid will continue to struggle to make those vital connections for clients and providers.
