About MITA
Understanding the MITA NextGen capability-based framework
What is MITA?
The Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) is a national framework to support improved systems development and health information exchange for the Medicaid enterprise. MITA provides a foundation for improved program administration, beneficiary health outcomes, and provider satisfaction.
MITA NextGen Framework
The MITA NextGen framework uses a capability-based approach organized around five key dimensions known as ORBIT:
- Outcome: Business results and objectives
- Role: Who performs functions and responsibilities
- Business Process: Workflows and procedures
- Information: Data structure and sharing
- Technology: Technical implementation
Maturity Levels
Each capability is assessed across maturity levels from 1 (Initial) to 5 (Optimized), helping states understand their current state and plan for improvements.
