The core objective of Beneficiary e-Services is to create a virtual enterprise-wide multi-contact channel for handling beneficiaries' inquiries that maximizes resources & service effectiveness across all systems. E-Services modernize & improve CMS customer service through one-stop service by employing industry best practices in Customer Relationship Management. The result promotes access to quality health care and provides premier customer services to our special needs & elderly population. Beneficiary eServices is an integral part of CMS' goals of modernization, contracting reform, accelerated use of electronic health information and implementation of Medicare prescription drug benefit as well as the PMA eGovernment. E-Services include Contact Center Technology & Operations, two public web sites and a beneficiary web portal. Contact Center technology uses a single toll free # to connect callers to an Interactive Voice Response system (IVR), improving beneficiaries' ability to get information when & how they need it. The IVR will provide automated self-service information & transactions to callers. Based on selections made, callers will be routed to the next available, best qualified Agent using Intelligent Call Routing (ICR) software. The Next Generation Desktop (NGD) application accesses CMS data systems to answer Medicare inquiries on enrollment, claims, health care options, preventive services & prescription drug benefits; the NGD integration layer is also used by the IVR and MyMedicare.gov beneficiary portal to access data from a variety of CMS mainframe shared systems thus achieving cost efficiencies, improved manageability, data consistency & reduced systems development times & improved network security. This investment comprises the IT supporting 1-800 MEDICARE. Data from the various contact channels is stored in a data warehouse & will be leveraged to offer improved services to callers. The www.medicare.gov & www.cms.hhs.gov websites offer 1-stop shopping to beneficiaries, providers & CMS partners. www.medicare.gov has interactive tools on Prescription Drug Plan Finder, Nursing Home & Hospital Compare & other tools. MyMedicare.gov beneficiary portal is a part of www.medicare.gov & allows users to log in & have access to personalized information such as enrollment, preventive services, claims, prescription drugs. www.cms.hhs.gov, is the official Agency website targeted to healthcare professionals, policy makers, researchers, & the media.

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

PART THREE


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.
1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2007-07-23
1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
yes
1.c. If yes, describe any significant changes:
The Next Generation Desktop (NGD) Risk Assessment was revised and updated in accordance with findings in the independent auditor's annual assessment of security controls. Information including Operating System updates, Database upgrades, and new technology implementations were considered and incorporation into the security documentation. Siebel Application Server expansion was completed for the My.Medicare.gov environment to increase capacity for portal users. While revision sections were considerable this year, updates, changes, and additions to the NGD and My.Medicare.gov assessments did not impact the overall system security level specified in the Risk Assessment. Internet Systems MA was significantly changed to represent the transition of the associated production environments for these applications to an Enterprise Data Center. Additionally, the 1-800 Medicare Risk Assessment was updated to reflect expansion of the National Data Warehouse as the system expanded to provide additional storage resources and capacity. The addition of a Secure File Transport site, expansion of the development and production servers, and upgraded perimeter routing equipment was installed to provide increased capability and security for the 1-800 architecture. Penetration test results were reviewed and potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses that could result in the loss or disclosure of CMS data were documented and mitigated to improve security. The updates, changes, and expansions to the 1-800 Medicare architecture did not impact the overall system security level specified in the Risk Assessment. The public websites' risk assessments were updated to reflect the move to the Enterprise Data Center (EDC). Additionally, results from the most recent security audit are being reflected in the updated risk assessments.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Was operational analysis conducted?
yes
1.a. If yes, provide the date the analysis was completed.
2007-08-31
What were the results of your operational analysis?
CPI = 1.02; SPI 1.00 Costs are running slightly lower than planned and the project is on schedule. Investment has been rebaselined as of this Operational Analysis. Requests for funding to mitigate risks are submitted regularly through the agency's Information Technology Investment Review Board. Application maintenance contract requires consistent service levels, which results in very low schedule variance based on the performance requirements of the contract.
