Helping U.S. state health and human service agencies adapt to an ever increasing Medicaid environment, Accenture (News - Alert) has updated its Accenture Public Health Platform (APHP). According to Accenture, the new version, 3.1, represents the company’s committed efforts to provide increased functionality and enhanced flexibility in system configuration.


APHP is well suited for state Medicaid agencies to provide improved services to its customers. It provides a greater flexibility in program management and helps managers to deploy new technology quickly and effectively. It also reduces the cost of ownership, which should be good news to companies looking to do some cost cutting.

APHP has adopted industry standards and a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) approach. This approach is said to be suitable for the ever changing requirements of Medicaid programs. It also facilitates integration throughout different agencies with the help of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework.

The Accenture Public Health Platform (APHP) assists US states to handle budget pressures and initiatives in the healthcare domain. APHP improves administrative efficiency since it can support claims administration across all public health programs within a state. Other benefits provided include flexibility in program management.

“Our software platform will help states implement new Medicaid system functionality faster and at lower risk, reduce the burdens on agency staff, and streamline public health systems to enable more clinical data-sharing and interoperability,” said David McCurley, Accenture’s managing director for health and public sector software. “We are addressing strong needs in the market for a straightforward solution to the complex process of maintaining and upgrading Medicaid systems.”
