Case Study: Nevada Department of Health and Human Services accelerates statewide health information exchange with Capgemini

The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services - Customer Case Study

The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services faced the challenge of implementing a federally mandated statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE) system. The department needed to integrate thousands of providers and overcome hurdles like rapid population growth and a fragile economy, all while meeting strict federal requirements and planning for long-term financial sustainability without ongoing state funding. To address this, they engaged Capgemini for its consulting services to develop a strategic and operational plan.

Capgemini applied its healthcare IT expertise to create a comprehensive plan focused on establishing a sustainable non-profit entity to operate the HIE and a scalable technical architecture. The solution was approved by the federal government, paving the way for a system designed to improve care coordination, reduce costs, and help providers meet meaningful use requirements. The collaboration with Capgemini provided Nevada with a solid foundation for its statewide health information exchange.
