Making data matter at Mathematica

The power of partnership

Bell’s predecessor built a strong networking and security infrastructure, while her role has been focused on migrating to the cloud, building the analytical platform, and developing new client-facing professional services. Like others, Bell’s data scientists face challenges such as data cleanliness and interoperability, and Mathematica will at times partner with other organizations to overcome those challenges.

For example, Mathematica partnered with New Wave to develop a cloud-based data quality platform, Imersis, which helps state Medicaid agencies meet required data quality and certification requirements. The tool has been adopted by New Jersey, West Virginia, and the US Virgin Islands to help address quality issues and improve data submission to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Services.

Errol Blake, director of product innovation and strategy at New Wave, says both companies share the same core values of integrity and social responsibility and developed the tool to help state Medicaid agencies meet Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) data outcome-based assessments and Medicaid enterprise system certifications requirements.
