Wisconsin BadgerCare Reform Approval Period: October 29, 2024 through December 31, 2029 Page 55 Attachment A – SUD Health Information Technology (IT) Plan

Section I. This section is a continuation of milestone 5 to detail the use of the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) and the State Medicaid Health IT Plan (SMHP). As described in Table 1, Wisconsin Medicaid has developed and implemented an enhanced prescription drug monitoring program (ePDMP). Wisconsin Medicaid recognizes the value of developing new and innovative tools to connect individuals with timely and appropriate SUD treatment and reduce administrative burden for treatment providers and other healthcare partners. The DHS eHealth Team conducts a Health Information Technology (HIT) landscape assessment each year to evaluate current HIT capabilities and define strategies Wisconsin Medicaid can pursue to advance health IT maturity and objectives. Initial research identified key priorities to assess and further the adoption and use of HIT among treatment providers, including the need to conduct a behavioral health specific HIT landscape assessment, develop consent management tools to facilitate the flow of clinical information, and improve access to care through telehealth delivery of services. Details on Wisconsin Medicaid’s strategic approach to these priorities will be included in an upcoming version of the SMHP. Wisconsin Medicaid provides assurance that there is existing health IT infrastructure that may be leveraged in conjunction with future HIT initiatives to accomplish the goals of this demonstration.
