SysTest Labs is providing Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services to the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) to support its implementation of a Total Health Record (THR) system.  The THR Project represents a full Health Information System which includes a full Health Information Exchange (HIE) for the Medicaid recipients/beneficiaries in the State of Wyoming. 

The project is being implemented in two phases.  First is the portal standup exercise where data is loaded from multiple sources into the THR, including the Medicaid system and the pharmacy system.   Additionally, a full ePrescribing solution for participating Providers is also being implemented.  The second phase is focused on rolling out a full HIE where the HL7 standard 2.x is implemented, as well as the Continuity of Care Document (CCD) per beneficiary.  This is a high profile project for WY with the expectation that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 2009 will provide grant funding to facilitate Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the future after “Meaningful Use” standards are developed and the transmittal of those records between multiple Providers using the HL7 standard. As Wyoming’s IV&V partner, SysTest Labs’ primary services include:

The genesis of focused Federal support for statewide automated child welfare information systems (SACWIS) sprang from the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1993, enacted on August 19, 1993. That legislation provided states with the opportunity to obtain funding through the Title IV-E program of the Social Security Act to plan, design, develop, and implement a SACWIS. In exchange for the additional funding provided to a State that elects to implement a SACWIS, the State must agree that the SACWIS will be the sole case management automation tool used by all public and private social workers responsible for case management activities. Furthermore, staff are expected to enter all case management information into SACWIS so it holds a State's "official case record" - a complete, current, accurate, and unified case management history on all children and families served by the Title IV-B/IV-E State agency. Since the inception of the SACWIS program in 1993, 40 states and the District of Columbia have chosen to develop SACWIS systems. Twenty-seven of these systems are now operational.
