FY2007
8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
This investment funds the maintenance & operations for the Drug Data Processing System (DDPS). The primary purpose of DDPS is to collect, maintain & process information on all Medicare covered & non-covered drug events, including non-Medicare drug events, for Medicare beneficiaries participating in Part D voluntary prescription drug coverage under the Medicare program. MMA provided new opportunities to ensure that seniors & people with disabilities receive safe, up-to-date care involving prescription drugs & to develop better evidence on risks, benefits & costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries using claims data. The claims data functions serve many critical purposes including effective management/oversight of the Part D benefit, support of quality improvement & medication therapy management activities, collection of new evidence about risks, benefits & costs of prescription drugs, prescribing practices & reconciliation of payments made to plans in the areas of Low Income Cost Sharing, Federal Reinsurance & risk sharing/risk corridors. Medicare obtains a specific set of Part D claims data consisting of 30 data elements based on the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs pharmacy claim format. The Prescription Drug Event (PDE) records are submitted electronically to CMS, validated & stored in a Drug Claims Data repository. The data will also be utilized in the payment reconciliation process of comparing actual expenditures to prospective payments made to plans & correcting any overages/underpayments to plans. The Drug Claims module processes all Medicare covered & non-covered PDEs, including non-Medicare PDEs for Medicare beneficiaries. Each validated/verified PDE is loaded into the Integrated Data Repository. The data is also replicated to the Drug Benefit Calculator. PDE data is used to compute beneficiary/plan utilization, in conjunction with other CMS data on prospective payments, for the purpose of payment reconciliation for LICS, Federal Reinsurance & risk sharing/risk corridor reconciliations. These reconciliations will be performed within the Payment Reconciliation System for a benefit year. DDPS became production ready for 'live' processing on January 1, 2006 and has processed over a billion PDEs. The investment is linked to the CMS strategic Action Plan by supporting High Value Health Care. It also supports Budget Performance Integration, Expanded E-Government & Eliminating Improper Payments under the PMA.

SUMMARY OF SPEND


1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.

All amounts represent Budget Authority

Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).

Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

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.

Enterprise Architecture


In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA.
1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
yes
2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
yes
2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
CMS Drug Claims (DDPS)
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
no
4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.

Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.
