Modernizing Health & Human Services is not about buying a platform.

It's about making the agency executable.

We partner with HHS agencies to streamline eligibility, improve access, reduce fraud, and meet compliance mandates - while actually delivering programs with the staff you have.

What "Agency of the Future" Looks Like for HHS

Three pillars that transform how you serve citizens and meet your mission.

Modernize the Mission

  • Citizens apply once, see status, get determinations faster
  • Providers onboard and stay in compliance without manual fax loops
  • You pass audits because you're documenting outcomes as you go

Operationalize Intelligence

  • Eligibility workers get assistance, not dashboards. The system tells them what needs attention now
  • Data unified across Medicaid, SNAP, TANF with trusted views for leadership and auditors

Deliver with Certainty

  • Governance that human beings will actually follow
  • PMO/Transformation Offices that states actually like working with
  • Help you land funding, not just PowerPoints

How We Help

Outcome-focused solutions tailored to HHS challenges.

Eligibility & Recertification Acceleration

The Problem: Backlog, timeliness risk, high error rates

What We Deliver: Process redesign + targeted automation + staff augmentation + change management

States have cut processing time per case by 20-40% and reduced error-driven rework without adding FTEs.

Integrated Data Layer for Program Integrity

The Problem: Fraud/waste/abuse pressure; siloed systems

What We Deliver: Data integration, entity resolution, case investigation workflows, audit-ready reporting

Agencies increased recoveries and protected benefits while strengthening audit defensibility.

Citizen Access / Digital Front Door

The Problem: Call centers overloaded, constituents confused

What We Deliver: Intake triage, guided self-service, status tracking, multilingual prompts, SMS nudging

Call center volume down double digits, faster resolution for simple cases.

PMO / Transformation Office for Federal Mandate Delivery

The Problem: Under a mandate (MITA, CMS, etc.) but can't stand up a cross-functional program fast enough

What We Deliver: Governance, program runway, workplan, tracking model, vendor coordination, reporting to CMS

Program stood up in weeks, not months, with stakeholder alignment and reporting hygiene from day one.
