Military Health SystemOffice of the Chief Information OfficerIntegrated Requirements-Design Overview Data Quality Course August 12, 2008 Deputy Director, Integrated Requirements-Design
Purpose • Data Quality Course attendees will gain familiarity with: • The MHS Integrated Requirements-Design (IRD) Process • The MHS Concept of One • The IRD Process and Data Quality • The IRD Organization • MHS IM/IT Governance • MHS Related Internet Sites
Integrated Requirements-DesignWhat Problem Are We Solving • Improve alignment – ability to deliver information systems that • Support the business objectives of MHS Leadership and Stakeholders • Deliver the value MHS Leadership seeks from their IT investments • Improve interoperability – the ability of MHS information systems to • Work together as one seamless MHS solution • Share information with MHS partners • Improve agility – the ability to deliver information systems • More quickly • At a lower cost • Alignment, interoperability and agility are characteristics that lead to improved • Cost • Schedule • Time to market • Performance • Quality
Integrated Requirements-DesignImproves Alignment, Interoperability & Agility Governance Master Planning Individual Projects IM/IT Strategic Plan Alignment Alignment Direct Future State Architecture Fund Monitor Alignment Individual Projects Are Led By Information Managers Reporting to Governance MHS Transformation Plan MHS IM/IT Initiatives Interoperability and Agility IRD Creates Minimum Essential Information to Ensure Convergence and Quality • MHS Vision – Concept of One • One MHS • One MHS requirement • Satisfied by one solution Functional War Peace Disaster Service Orientation Integrated Requirements-Design Decision Support Program Execution Clinical Business Data Hardware Software Execute Programs According to Convergence and Quality Plan Systems
Important Concepts – Mindset Changes • MHS concept of one - There is one MHS with one set of MHS enterprise requirements which are satisfied by one MHS enterprise solution. This solution is acquired/built as multiple components. • Business processes and IT systems are intrinsically related • Requirements discussions must include people who understand the technical capabilities available to satisfy the requirements • Design discussions must include people who understand the business needs • Requirement design discussions are documented using enterprise architecture methodologies • Developed to represent the complexities found in the MHS in an unambiguous way • Developed to ensure enterprise design integrity • Government reclaims it’s responsibility to determine the future of the MHS • Government as integrator • Government furnished design specifications • Transparency - Maintain broad-based (technical and business), external and internal visibility and review throughout the process • Reduce the size of functional/system entities that move through the lifecycle
Integrated Requirements-Design Process Develop, Test, Implement, Deploy & Sustain Perceived Functional Needs, Gaps and Technical Opportunities Define Needs, Gaps & Technical Opportunities 1.1 Create Initial Requirements -Design Alternatives 1.2 Refine Selected Requirements -Design Package 1.4 ID Needs to Work On Make Execution Decision 1.5 Make Investment Decision 1.3 Triage Phase Pre-Investment Phase Receive, document, analyze and prioritize all of the perceived needs, gaps and technical opportunities throughout the MHS and decide which ones to analyze in depth for an investment decision Pre-Execution Phase Execution Phase Analyze requirements and associated design alternatives (requirements-design packages) and document MHS leadership investment decisions Complete design specifications for selected requirements-design packages and verify MHS leadership desire to move to execution (acquisition) Acquisition
Governance Decision Governance Decision Integrated Requirements-Design ProcessConceptual Flow Establish Core Team IM Lead1 Create IRD Project Plan Inform Governance Decision with process results - Concept of Operations (CONOPS)2 • Overarching Description • Behavioral Description • Structural Descriptions • Specification • Implementation • Deployment • Business Case • Recommendation • Cost Analysis • Alternatives/Options • Shall Statements Decision to work on a need or Investment Decision Create/ Refine Overarching Description Arrange For SME Participation Develop Requirements-Design Content Information Management Lead1 Acquisition Review Relevant Existing Capabilities Investment Decision or Execution Decision • Use best practices to accomplish this step • DASD sponsored SME workgroups • Pilots • Prototyping • Joint (SMEs and technologists) development • Technology demonstrations • Integrated research teams • New approaches not thought of yet Create Strawman Artifacts • Notes: • The IRD core teams and the process to develop the requirements-design content are lead by Information Managers who work for the MHS functional owners (DASDs, Deputy Director TRICARE & CIO) • 2. The output of the IRD process is a requirements-design package or CONOPS which contains all of the information necessary to guide and constrain system development or COTS purchase
Integrated Requirements-DesignFacilitates Data Quality • MHS Requirements-Design – identifies, and obtains agreement on specific standards and terminologies • Data Standardization - at the structure, code set, input, and interchange level • Data Management Plans – for all standard message transactions, data sets, code & value sets exchanged by more the one system • MHS Contract Language – enforces usage of Data Standards • MHS Data Standards Configuration Management Board – oversees data issues and facilitates solutions • IT Data Quality IPT - EIDS
