Healthcare Consulting and Solutions for Providers and Payer Organizations

Project Description

Ninestone was brought in by a Northeast health plan with 165,000 members to provide support for a QNXT implementation that had been in process for more than a year. Several go-live dates had been missed and it was imperative that the organization meet the next go-live date.

Our primary role was to provide:

Project Management support for the customer, addressing go-live planning, parallel testing, etc.

Leadership for business decisions, sign-off and testing of financial modules, including premium billing, accounts receivable, capitation, check runs, etc.

Team lead for unit testing and parallel testing

Interim Director of Business Analysis and Configuration

Lead for TriZetto day-to-day vendor relationship management

Lead analyst for Configuration team

Reporting analyst support, including development/revision of requirements and specifications and development and execution of test plans

Project administration and coordination

Our client went live on QNXT within a few months, and Ninestone was engaged throughout the remainder of the year for post go-live support. We continued to provide support for another year, acting as the lead business analyst for key automation improvements in QNXT integration with other key databases and applications in the organization.

Project Description
Ninestone was engaged by a 130,000 member health plan based near San Jose, CA, to provide project management support for a HealthTrio xpress implementation that had been in process for nearly four years. A change in IT leadership allowed the organization to review progress to date and engage Ninestone to provide project management support to complete the implementation.

The engagement included an assessment of progress to date and the development of a new timeline, including implementation milestones and re-engagement of the management team and end users throughout the organization. The customer ultimately went live as projected in the revised go-live plan.

Ninestone provided the following services:

Project Management

Project administration and coordination

Testing coordination

End-user training – material development and training execution

Production job schedules and documentation

We continued to be engaged by our client for an additional year, supporting a variety of initiatives. Throughout the tenure of the engagement, we had formal and informal discussions with key management team members about IT staffing, job descriptions, organizational structure, etc.
