RFP MED-12-001 | Technical ProposalIowa Medicaid Enterprise System Service Procurement | MMIS and Core MMIS OperationsFigure 8-107. New MMIS Documentation Process. Team Noridian’s deliverable process for the newMMIS implementation and operations is a comprehensive deliverable process. The process involves theDepartment, Team Noridian, and other stakeholders associated with the new MMIS project to ensure thatdelivered documentation meets the Department's business needs.This clear understanding of expectations, which is established prior to the start of development of thedeliverable, is documented in the DXD (designated DXD to avoid confusion with the data elementdictionary (DED)) which is prepared for each deliverable approved by the Department. The DXDsignificantly facilitates the development, review, and ultimate approval of the deliverable by theDepartment. The DXD provides the basis for the development and acceptance of documentation byidentifying the contents to be included in the deliverable so that it includes the information theDepartment requires to manage the new MMIS project during both implementation and operations.DXDs apply specifically to deliverable documents and not the actual software application. The softwareapplications, which are themselves deliverables, use the approved detail system design (DSD) as their DXD.8 | 197
