California's Multi-Purpose Senior Services Program(MSSP) is one of more than two-hundred Medicaid waiver programs that provide community-based long-term care services to low-income consumers who would otherwise be institutionalized . MSSP serves approximately 10,000 frail elderly individuals in California at 1 sites with a 25% expansion currently budgeted. However, in spite of the program's growing importance in the health care system, there is little information available on its impacts and costs. Current data tracking systems are out-dated, paper-based and cumbersome. MSSP sites and the MSSP Site Association (MSA) have expressed frustration with current systems and a desire to build a standardized information system to collect data that can be used for meeting stricter state and federal reporting requirements, policy planning and development and ongoing program and clinical improvement. This project aims to develop the information base called for by MSSP sites and State agencies responsible for funding them. The project will build a standardized, integrated information system for MSSP based on an existing RTZ associates software system for adult day services and use this system to develop a cross-site database for ongoing analysis. In completing the project's aims, RTZ Associates will collaborate with the MSA and the Partners in Care Foundation. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS: The software and the data warehouse follow a financially successful model for the applicant of leasing software to Community Long Term Care Providers. The initial marker will be MSSP sites in California followed by Case Management and Medicaid waiver programs throughout the country. The MSSP Association and its members are participating in the development and the pilot group has committed to lease the system. Future revenues will come from software leases and the sale of data reports.

加州的多用途老年服务计划(MSSP)是200多个医疗补助豁免计划之一，这些计划为原本会被制度化的低收入消费者提供基于社区的长期护理服务。MSSP在1个地点为加利福尼亚州大约10,000名虚弱的老年人提供服务，目前预算扩大25%。然而，尽管该计划在医疗保健系统中的重要性与日俱增，但关于其影响和成本的信息很少。目前的数据跟踪系统过时、纸质和繁琐。MSSP网站和MSSP网站协会(MSA)表达了对当前系统的失望，并希望建立一个标准化的信息系统来收集数据，这些数据可用于满足更严格的州和联邦报告要求、政策规划和制定以及持续的计划和临床改进。该项目旨在开发MSSP网站和负责资助这些网站的国家机构所要求的信息库。该项目将在现有的RTZ Associates成人日间服务软件系统的基础上，为MSSP建立一个标准化的综合信息系统，并利用该系统开发一个用于持续分析的跨站点数据库。为了实现该项目的目标，RTZ Associates将与MSA和关爱合作伙伴基金会合作。拟议的商业应用：软件和数据仓库遵循将软件租赁给社区长期护理提供者的申请者在财务上成功的模式。最初的标志将是加利福尼亚州的MSSP网站，然后是全国各地的病例管理和医疗补助豁免计划。MSSP协会及其成员参与了这一开发，试点小组已承诺租用该系统。未来的收入将来自软件租赁和数据报告的销售。
