About ExpressMips
ExpressMips is an intuitive tool designed by FIGmd for MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) and the goal is promoting the ongoing improvement and innovation to clinical activities in the USA. ExpressMips provides a smartly designed combination of couple of measures in MIPS viz. PI and IA measures that would incur minimal efforts on the part of providers to avoid negative payment adjustment or penalties in just three simple steps.
The Challenge
Business Analysis and Time to churn out the product within a stipulated period of time was the challenge. Luckily the engineering team at FIGmd helped with the right UI/UX designs. The Designs were immediately converted into React JS code and Codemischief pulled out a solid backend on Node JS. The deployment was done on Google Cloud as part of the existing Kubernetes Cluster in FIGmd.
Why Codemischief
- Technical architecture design and Project management - Time is the essence.
- Software Development (Frontend - React.js + Redux, Backend Services - Node.js, Database - MongoDB, Deployment - Google Cloud Platform)
- QA and UAT with FIGmd and publish to the public domain.
FIGmd has consulted with Codemischief in 2018 since the ExpressMips program started and in 2019 and the product was re-designed and engineered in 2019 to support new rules specified by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services). The product was discontinued in 2020 due to COVID Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Exception act. Codemischief will be immensely happy to work with FIGmd for ExpressMips-2021.
The key features implemented were NPI validation with NPPES Registry, Selection of measures as per CMS rules and an algorithm for score calculation, E-signing using Adobe E-sign, Integration with Stripe and Paypal for payment collection and calling CMS API for submitting the calculated scores. The application also had a full fledged notification engine for sending SMS and emails to stakeholders when needed. The overall project management was carried out with JIRA.
The product being in data sensitive space, adhering to data security was crucial. With Codemischief’s expertise in security compliance in healthcare organizations, data security was handled with foremost priority in Architecture design.
