In fiscal year 2005, CMS's total IT appropriations was about $2.55 billion, of which about $760 million, or 30 percent, was to support internal investments, and $1.79 billion was to fund the Medicaid Management Information Systems (MMIS) that states use to support their Medicaid programs. (GAO is using the term "internal" to refer to all of CMS' IT investments excluding state MMISs.) In light of the size and significance of these investments, GAO's objectives were to (1) evaluate CMS's capabilities for managing its internal investments, (2) determine any plans the agency might have for improving these capabilities, and (3) examine CMS's process for approving and monitoring state MMISs. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-12/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-12.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-12/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-12.pdf GAO-06-12 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-12 Other Written Product GAO-06-12; Information Technology: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Needs to Establish Critical Investment Management Capabilities; Information resources management Information technology IT investment management IT policies IT standards Management information systems Medicaid Medicare Program evaluation Systems design Systems evaluation General management reviews Policies and procedures Medicaid Management Information System Public Law 108-173
