PATENT ABSTRACT
A high-performance capability assessment model helps a Medicaid program meet the challenges of the health market. As a result, the Medicaid program can achieve the clarity, consistency, and well-defined execution of core processes that reduce inefficiencies and waste that result from unnecessary process complexity and exceptions. In addition, the high-performance capability assessment model helps the Medicaid program to identify specific areas in which improvements may be made, to understand how to make said improvements, and to establish levels of capability along the way to reaching an ultimate capability goal.

PATENT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Technical Field 
     This disclosure concerns a system and method for identifying the performance of an organization on a scale of mastery across representative capabilities of the organization&#39;s industry. In particular, this disclosure relates to an efficient and cost effective way to assess the performance level of key capability areas within the processes of a Medicaid program. 
     2. Background Information 
     Modern Medicaid programs operate in an increasingly challenging environment. To survive, Medicaid programs must adapt to this environment and execute in a clear, consistent, and efficient manner. Furthermore, the competitive nature, regulatory requirements, low profit margins, and competitive challenges of Medicaid programs greatly increase the complexity and difficulty of surviving on a day-to-day basis. 
     Despite the need for Medicaid programs to meet the challenges of the health-related market, it is still often the case that the programs lack clarity, consistency, and well-defined execution of its core processes. These shortcomings severely constrain the programs, and lead directly to inefficiencies and waste due to unnecessary complexity, process exceptions, and customer dissatisfaction. At the same time, it can be very difficult to identify specific processes to which improvements may be made, either because the program management itself does not have the expertise to identify the processes or because the complexities of the programs frustrate attempts to clearly delineate the processes to be improved. 
     Even if the Medicaid programs, on their own, could identify one of the many processes that it needs to improve, the business or management would not necessarily know how to improve the process or be able to identify a concrete and measurable improvement goal. Another difficulty exists in determining whether there are any intermediate goals that should be reached along the way. As Medicaid programs struggle to meet the demands of the modern economic and health landscape, they fail to identify opportunities for maximizing efficiency, category expansion, multi-channel execution, customer satisfaction, and to reach other important goals. 
     Therefore, a need exists for an efficient and effective system and method to assess the performance level of key assessment areas within the processes of a Medicaid program. 
     SUMMARY 
     A high-performance capability assessment (HPCA) model helps a Medicaid program meet the challenges of the market segment by defining a scale of performance mastery along which the current practices of the program may be located. The HPCA model accelerates the discovery of process and performance gaps within program operations. In addition, the HPCA model also helps the program to identify specific areas in which improvements may be made, how to make the improvements, and how to establish performance measures during the course of attempting to achieve an ultimate goal. As a result, the programs can achieve the clarity, consistency, and well-defined execution of core processes that maximize the operating budget for optimum outcomes. 
     The HPCA model includes a key factor dimension and a performance mastery scale dimension. The performance mastery scale dimension defines multiple mastery levels. The performance mastery levels form a scale of increasing organizational performance. The scale includes a ‘Basic’ mastery level, a ‘Competitive’ mastery level, and a ‘Market Leading’ mastery level along a horizontal axis. Each performance mastery level includes criteria specific to a corresponding key assessment area. Each key assessment area identifies some aspect of a capability of a Medicaid program. 
     A capability can be defined as a bundle of closely integrated skills, knowledge, technologies, and cumulative learning that is exercised through a set of processes and that collectively represents an program&#39;s ability to create value by producing outcomes and results. Capability areas do not represent a delineation of organizational responsibilities because the outcomes of a capability may be the result of a number of cross-functional teams. Capabilities of a business may be grouped into areas and/or platforms, including platforms and sub-platforms, depending on the organizational structure of the business. 
     For example, the HPCA model groups the capabilities of the Medicaid program into nine main areas or platforms, which may also be thought of as “program areas,” namely a program management platform, a care management platform, a contractor management platform, a program integrity management platform, a business relationship management platform, a provider management platform, a member management platform, an operations management platform, and an enterprise platform. Each platform may include multiple sub-platforms. For example, the program integrity management platform may include three sub-platforms, namely an identify candidate case sub-platform, a manage case sub-platform, and a payment integrity sub-platform. 
     Some of the platforms and sub-platforms may include additional or further levels, while others may not, and may also include capabilities at their lowest level. Examples of capabilities within the program quality management sub-platform include, for example, a manage business performance capability and a manage quality, risk, and performance capability. 
     The key factor dimension establishes a set of key assessment areas in which to analyze the capabilities of a business. Key assessment areas include performance capability criteria. Performance capability criteria populate the performance capability assessment model. The performance capability criteria may be specific to any one of many different business capabilities. Any number of performance capability assessment models and performance capability criteria may be defined and stored in a capability detail pool for subsequent retrieval and application to a business under examination. Accordingly, the HPCA model provides a flexible and adaptive scale of performance capability against which business practices may be compared to ascertain where the capabilities of a program under examination fall along the scale. 
     Other systems, methods, features, and advantages will be, or will become, apparent to one with skill in the art upon examination of the following figures and detailed description. All such additional systems, methods, features, and advantages are included within this description, are within the scope of the invention, and are protected by the following claims.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       FIG. 1  shows a high-performance capability assessment (HPCA) model  100 . The HPCA model  100  specifies nine platforms, including a program management platform  102 , a care management platform  104 , a contractor management platform  106 , a program integrity management platform  108 , a business relationship management platform  110 , a provider management platform  112 , a member management platform  114 , an operations management platform  116 , and an enterprise platform  118 . Each platform  102 ,  104 ,  106 ,  108 ,  110 ,  112 ,  114 ,  116 , and  118  may include sub-platforms. The HPCA model  100  is not limited to the form shown in  FIG. 1 . Instead, the HPCA model  100  may be adapted and modified to full a wide variety of analysis roles. Additional, different, or fewer platforms may be used in other implementations, with each platform defining additional, different, or fewer capabilities. Each platform and/or sub-platform includes one or more multiple &lt;platform/sub-platform name&gt;capabilities  130 . 
     The HPCA model  100  establishes a multidimensional Medicaid program performance reference set that includes multiple key assessment performance levels  138 , further described below in reference Tables 1-3. The performance levels  138  establish a scale of increasing effectiveness in delivery of each capability. The key assessment performance reference tables include a ‘Basic’  140  delivery level, a ‘Competitive’  142  delivery level, and a ‘Market Leading’  144  delivery level. The performance levels establish a scale of mastery  146  along which current program practices may be located and identified with respect to any platform and capability within a platform according to an analysis of performance capability criteria (PCC). The capability under evaluation may be assigned the performance level  138  based on a delivery effectiveness position  158  along the scale of mastery  146 . 
     The ‘Basic’ delivery level  140  specifies ‘Basic’ performance assessment criteria, the ‘Competitive’ delivery level  142  specifies ‘Competitive’ performance assessment criteria, and the ‘Market Leading’ delivery level  144  specifies ‘Market Leading’ performance assessment criteria. The HPCA model  100  receives input data that specifies a Medicaid program platform (e.g., a Medicaid program area) and a Medicaid program key assessment area for analysis. The HPCA model  100  searches the multidimensional Medicaid program performance reference set for a matching key assessment performance reference table that matches the Medicaid program platform and corresponding program capability within the platform and the Medicaid program key assessment area, and retrieves the matching key assessment performance reference table. The HPCA model  100  initiates analysis of the matching key assessment performance reference table to obtain a resultant performance assessment level for the Medicaid program key assessment area. 
     Tables 1-3 below provide an explanation of each of the capability levels  140 ,  142 , and  144 .

     For  FIGS. 2-10  the capability under evaluation may be assigned a level of mastery  138  based on the program&#39;s position along the scale of mastery  146  (e.g., the ‘Basic,’ ‘Competitive,’ or ‘Market Leading’ delivery level). Performance criteria corresponding to the basic  140 , competitive  142 , and market leading  144  performance levels populate the HPCA model  100 . The performance criteria capture characteristics, and/or other features of the delivery of a capability at a particular performance level. Examples below illustrate performance criteria that provide analysis and benchmarking for Medicaid programs. The HPCA model  100  performance criteria provide a tool for determining where a platform and capability under examination fall along the scale of mastery  146 . 
     For example, business consultants and business process engineers may interview a business or receive data about the business to determine, measure, or otherwise ascertain the characteristics, criteria, and other features of a particular capability implemented within the program. The consultants and engineers may compare the characteristics of the business to the performance criteria in the HPCA model  100  and arrive at an assessment level  138  for the capability under examination. In doing so, for example, the consultants and engineers may identify where the capability under examination falls in terms of the performance level for each key assessment area of a capability and determine an overall position on the scale of mastery  146  for the capability under examination. Performance criteria may populate the HPCA model  100  in whole or in part. Multiple high-performance capability assessments may be collected and stored with the performance criteria for future retrieval and possible modification in a capability detail pool, discussed below.

     The tables provided in the appendix immediately following the abstract, which form part of this disclosure, provide an explanation of the capabilities and corresponding key assessment areas and performance criteria for some of the capabilities within the respective sub-platforms. Each capability may include one or more key assessment areas. Each key assessment area may include one or more additional key assessment areas. In other words, a business capability may include sub-capabilities, and therefore, key assessment areas corresponding to the multiple sub-capabilities. The tables in the appendix show specific criteria used to analyze each capability. 
       FIG. 11  shows a multidimensional Medicaid program performance reference set  1100  (“reference set  1100 ”) that provides a capability detail pool from which the system described below may obtain benchmarking tables for a Medicaid program. The reference set  1100  includes multiple key assessment performance reference tables (“reference tables”), two of which are labeled  1102  and  1104 . Each reference table may provide the benchmarking criteria for a specific capability, such as those noted above with respect to  FIGS. 2-10 . 
     One dimension of each table may establish the ‘Basic’ performance level  140  specifying ‘Basic’ performance assessment criteria, the ‘Competitive’ performance level  142  specifying ‘Competitive’ performance assessment criteria, and the ‘Market Leading’ performance level  144  specifying ‘Market Leading’ performance assessment criteria. Another dimension of each table may specify one or more key assessment areas (KAAs), several of which are labeled  1106 ,  1108 , and  1110 . As noted above, performance criteria, e.g., the PCC  1112 , populate each key assessment performance reference table to provide benchmark criteria for ‘Basic,’ ‘Competitive,’ and ‘Market Leading’ characteristics. 
     The reference set  1100  represents the HPCA model  100 . Consistent with the HPCA model  100 , the reference set  1100  may organize multiple reference tables into a hierarchical structure defining discrete changes in granularity. In one implementation, the hierarchical structure includes reference tables, high-level platforms, platforms, sub-platforms, and models.  FIG. 11  labels three sub-platforms  1114 ,  1116 , and  1118 . The reference set  1100  may further organize the platforms, two of which are labeled  1120  and  1122 . Platforms aggregate into the HPCA model  100  and corresponding reference set  1100 . Additional, different, or fewer levels of granularity may be defined in the HPCA model  100 . 
     The reference set  1100  may dynamically populate the reference tables with the most up-to-date performance criteria, for example upon retrieval and presentation by a business analysis consultant. The performance criteria may be retrieved from a performance capability criteria database or other information source. 
       FIG. 11  also shows an example of a database implementation  1124  of a portion of a reference table. In particular, the database implementation  1124  includes records (e.g., the records  1126 ,  1128 ,  1130 ) that establish each PCC  1112 . In the example shown, each record includes a PCC field  1132 , a category specifier field  1134 , and a KAA specifier field  1136 . Other fields may be provided, such as a reference table assignment field or reference set assignment field. The records categorize each PCC into a specific category (e.g., ‘Basic’), into a specific KAA, and, optionally, into a specific reference table in a specific reference set for any particular HPCA model. 
       FIG. 12  shows a high-performance capability assessment system (“system”)  1200 . The system  1200  includes a processor  1202  and a memory  1204 . Several databases support the operation of the system  1200 , including a performance capability database  1206 , a performance measured database  1208 , a capability detail pool database  1210 , and an assessment results database  1226 . The system  1200  may include a local display  1212  and input/output interfaces  1217  (e.g., including a keyboard, mouse, microphone, speakers, or other device), and, through the communication interface  1214  and networks  1216 , may communicate with remote devices  1218  and remote displays  1220 . The networks  1216  may be any combination of external networks (e.g., the Internet) and internal networks (e.g., corporate LANs). The displays  1212  and  1220  may, for example, present performance capability assessment models  1222  that the system  1200  retrieves from the capability detail pool database  1210  for review, modification, and application by process engineers or other individuals. With regard to local access or access by the remote devices  1218 , the system  1200  may include a login processing program  1224  to authenticate and/or authorize access to the system  1200 . To that end, the login processing program  1224  may include username/password verification, private/public key encryption, or other validation and data protection capabilities. 
     In one implementation, the capability performance database  1206  stores performance criteria. As will be described in more detail below, the system  1200  may populate performance capability assessment models with performance capability criteria suited to any particular platform or sub-platform (e.g., a program quality management sub-platform  220 ) and business capability at one or more capability levels across one or more key assessment areas. The performance measured database  1208  may store the determined, measured, or otherwise ascertained characteristics, criteria, and other measured data of a particular key assessment area as representative practice data  1248 . The representative practice data  1248  may be obtained through interviews with business consultants and industrial engineers, through online questionnaires, through manual or automated analysis of business data (e.g., year-end operating reports), or by other means. The capability detail pool database  1210  stores the capability detail pool  1100 , which includes pre-defined performance capability assessment models  1222 . The assessment results database  1226  stores determined capability levels for specific capabilities that have been analyzed. 
     The system  1200  facilitates the review, modification, creation, and application of performance capability assessment models. In that role, performance capability assessment model manipulation logic (“manipulation logic”)  1246  within the system  1200  creates, retrieves, and stores capability assessment data  1228  in the memory  1204 . The manipulation logic  1246  may establish capability assessment data  1228  in the memory  1204 , including a capability assessment data structure  1230  with multiple capability levels (“CL”)  1232  organized along a scale of mastery dimension, multiple key assessment areas (“KAA”)  1234  organized along a key factor dimension, and performance criteria (“PCC”)  1236  that populate the performance capability assessment model  1230 . The manipulation logic  1246  may vary widely in implementation, and, as one example, may include data storage logic  1252  that saves data in memory and user interface logic that accepts capability level specifications, key assessment area specifications, and performance capability criteria inputs to create new performance capability assessment models, to modify existing performance capability assessment models, to delete performance capability assessment models, or to retrieve performance capability assessment models for review. 
     In one implementation, the manipulation logic  1246  establishes the capability assessment data structure  1230  to include a multidimensional Medicaid program performance reference set that includes multiple key assessment performance reference tables in which the key assessment performance reference tables include a ‘Basic’ capability performance level, a ‘Competitive’ capability performance level, and a ‘Market Leading’ capability performance level. 
     The capability assessment data  1228  may also include a capability position specifier  1238 . The capability position specifier  1238  may record the capability level along the scale of mastery  146 , as determined for any particular capability. Thus, the system  1200  may store the performance level in the assessment results database  1226  or elsewhere for future retrieval and review. 
     In one implementation, the data population logic  1240  may be a data population program executed by the processor  1202  that populates template performance capability assessment models. For example, the data population logic  1240  may include input logic  1250  that accepts input specifying a capability of interest that indicates a particular performance capability assessment model. The data population logic  1240  may include query logic  1245  that executes database queries and prompts a user for input to obtain the corresponding performance capability criteria for the capability of interest. 
     In another implementation, for example, the query logic  1245  may receive an input specifying a Medicaid program area and a Medicaid program key assessment area with the Medicaid program area for analysis. The query logic  1245  searches the multidimensional Medicaid program performance reference set for a matching key assessment performance reference table that matches the Medicaid program area and the Medicaid program key assessment area, and retrieves the matching key assessment performance reference table. 
     The data population logic  1240  may further include storage logic that adds the retrieved performance capability criteria to the template performance capability assessment model. The data population logic  1240  produces populated performance capability assessment structures  1242  that may be stored in the capability detail pool database  1210 . 
     In addition to the analysis process described above, the system  1200  may provide an automated analysis of representative practice data  1248  that identifies relevant performance capability criteria and determines the position on the scale of mastery  146  of each key assessment area corresponding to the performance capability criteria for the representative practice data  1248 . As one example, the system  1200  may implement capability assessment logic  1244  that includes comparison and/or matching logic that analyzes the representative practice data  1248  with respect to performance capability criteria to locate key assessment areas for which the system  1200  can determine capability levels to obtain a resultant performance level for each key assessment area. 
     Furthermore, the capability assessment logic  1244  may determine an overall position on the scale of mastery  146  as the capability position specifier  1238  for a capability under examination given the knowledge of where the key assessment areas corresponding to the capability under examination fall in each capability level. Thus, for example, the capability assessment logic  1244  may determine an overall capability level for a capability corresponding to the capability level for the majority of the key assessment areas, or it may apply a weighted analysis technique to give more emphasis to some key assessment areas than others in determining the overall position on the scale of mastery  146  for a capability. As another example, the capability assessment logic  1244  may implement an expert system (e.g., based on a neural network trained on prior determinations) that analyzes the determined characteristics with respect to the performance capability criteria and ascertains where the capability under examination falls along the scale of mastery  146  for each of the key assessment areas, or overall on the scale of mastery. 
       FIG. 13  shows a flow diagram  1300  for creating performance capability assessment models. The performance capability assessment model creator (e.g., the manipulation logic  1246 ) establishes a key factor dimension for the performance capability assessment model ( 1302 ). The performance capability assessment model creator also establishes a capability scale dimension for the performance capability assessment model ( 1304 ). The capability scale dimension may define a scale of increasing organizational capability. For example, the structure creator may create the ‘Basic’ level  140 , the ‘Competitive’ level  142 , and the ‘Market Leading’ level  144 . The performance capability assessment model creator also populates the performance capability assessment model with capability performance criteria ( 1306 ). A capability detail pool  1100  may be formed to hold multiple tailored key assessment performance reference tables ( 1308 ). The performance capability assessment model creator may store the populated assessment structure in the capability detail pool for subsequent retrieval and analysis ( 1310 ). 
       FIG. 14  shows a flow diagram  1400  for retrieving and applying performance capability assessment models. A selection of a capability to be analyzed is obtained ( 1402 ). In one implementation, the system  1200  receives input data that specifies a Medicaid program area and a Medicaid program key assessment area for analysis. For example, the system  1200  may accept input from a business consultant that specifies a capability for analysis. The system  1200  may query the capability detail pool  1100  for a corresponding performance capability assessment model ( 1404 ). The corresponding performance capability assessment model may be pre-defined in the capability detail pool  1100 , or the data population logic  1240  (or other actor) may populate a performance capability assessment model template that the system  1200  newly creates, or that the system  1200  retrieves from a data store, such as the capability detail pool database  1210 . 
     In another example, the system  1200  searches the multidimensional Medicaid program performance reference set in the capability detail pool  1100  for a matching key assessment performance reference table based on the input data that specifies a Medicaid program platform and a Medicaid program key assessment area. The system  1200  retrieves the matching key assessment performance reference table and initiates analysis of the matching key assessment performance reference table to obtain a resultant performance level for the Medicaid program key assessment area. 
     The system  1200  obtains representative practice data  1248  for the capability under examination in the specific business under review ( 1406 ). For example, a business consultant may interview the business to determine how the business currently executes the capability under review. As another example, a representative from the business may complete a questionnaire, submit business data for analysis and parameter extraction, or otherwise provide the characteristics of their current capability execution. As a further example, the system  1200  may retrieve the representative practice data  1248  from a database of previously obtained representative practice data. 
     The system  1200  compares the representative practice data  1248  to the performance criteria in the performance capability assessment model ( 1408 ). For example, a business consultant may use his or her expertise to determine the level for the business and the capability under examination ( 1410 ). Alternatively or additionally, the capability assessment logic  1244  may perform an automated analysis of the assessment results data in the assessment results database  1226  and ascertain the performance level on the scale of mastery  146 . The system  1200  may store the assessment results, including the determined performance level, for future reference in the assessment results database  1226  or other location ( 1412 ). 
       FIG. 15  shows a flow diagram  1500  for analyzing representative practice data  1248  to determine a Medicaid program and a Medicaid program assessment area to which the representative practice data applies. The system  1200  receives representative practice data  1248  as input data ( 1502 ). The system  1200  may receive the representative practice data  1248  from a database query performed by the query logic  1245  that the query logic executes periodically, when instructed by an operator, and/or automatically against any number of available database sources that store representative practice data  1248 . The capability assessment logic  1244  analyzes the representative practice data  1248  to identify performance capability criteria in the capability detail pool  1100  that the capability assessment logic  1244  determines relevant to the representative practice data  1248  ( 1504 ). For example, the capability assessment logic  1244  may compare and/or match the content of the representative practice data  1248  with the performance capability criteria by using natural language processing (NLP), text string, and/or substring matching, by comparing tags linked to the representative practice data  1248  and that specify that any portion of the representative practice data  1248  is applicable to a specific PCC, by querying for a manual classification of the representative practice data  1248  to a PCC, or by using other matching techniques. The capability assessment logic  1244  may score and/or weight a performance capability criteria and compare the score and/or weight to a user specified relevance threshold to rank the relevance of the performance capability criteria to the representative practice data  1248  ( 1506 ). The user may specify particular terms and/or phrases to search and match between the performance capability criteria and the representative practice data  1248 , in order to score the performance capability criteria. 
     The capability assessment logic  1244  may determine, based on the number of performance capability criteria that meet or exceed the relevance threshold, that the capability assessment logic  1244  has identified a sufficient number of performance capability criteria for a specific key assessment area in order to determine a performance level for the capability as a whole or any key assessment area within the capability ( 1508 ). As one example, where at least 51% of the performance capability criteria for a particular key assessment area meet or exceed the relevance threshold, the capability assessment logic  1244  applies the performance capability criteria to the representative practice data  1248 . In another example, the performance capability criteria for a particular key assessment area may be ranked in importance and/or designated as mandatory in order to assess the key assessment area. In the event the capability assessment logic  1244  identifies the mandatory performance capability criteria for a key assessment area, the capability assessment logic  1244  applies the performance capability criteria to the representative practice data  1248 . 
     The capability assessment logic  1244  may apply the performance capability criteria meeting or exceeding the relevance threshold to the representative practice data  1248  to determine whether any particular PCC is met. Accordingly, as the capability assessment logic  1244  analyzes the PCC, the system  1200  tracks the best fit of the representative practice data  1248  to the PCCs in the key assessment performance reference tables. In other words, the system  1200  determines how the representative practice data  1248  meets (or does not meet) each PCC, thereby gaining insight into whether the representative practice data  1248  is indicative of ‘Basic,’ ‘Competitive,’ or ‘Market Leading’ practices. 
     The system  1200  may also gauge the position on the scale of mastery  146  of each key assessment area corresponding to the performance capability criteria ( 1510 ). The capability assessment logic  1244  may further determine an overall position on the scale of mastery  146  for a capability ( 1512 ). The capability assessment logic  1244  may establish that a desired number and/or designated mandatory performance capability criteria for the key assessment areas have been identified as relevant to a capability and sufficient to determine the position on the scale of mastery  146  for the capability. For example, the capability assessment logic  1244  may determine an overall performance level for the capability based on the performance level determined for the majority of the key assessment areas. The capability assessment logic  1244  may apply a weighted analysis technique to give more emphasis to some key assessment areas than others in determining the overall position on the scale of mastery  146  for the capability. Although selected aspects, features, or components of the implementations are depicted as being stored in computer-readable memories (e.g., as computer-executable instructions or performance capability assessment models), all or part of the systems and structures may be stored on, distributed across, or read from other computer-readable media. The computer-readable media may include, for example, secondary storage devices such as hard disks, floppy disks, and CD-ROMs; a signal, such as a signal received from a network or received at an antenna; or other forms of memory, including ROM or RAM, either currently known or later developed. 
     Various implementations of the system  1200  may include additional or different components. A processor may be implemented as a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a DSP, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), discrete logic, or a combination of other types of circuits or logic. Similarly, memories may be DRAM, SRAM, Flash, or any other type of memory. The processing capability of the system may be distributed among multiple system components, such as among multiple processors and memories, optionally including multiple distributed processing systems. Parameters, databases, and other data structures may be separately stored and managed, may be incorporated into a single memory or database, may be logically and physically organized in many different ways, and may be implemented in many ways, including data structures such as linked lists, hash tables, or implicit storage mechanisms. Programs may be combined or split among multiple programs, or distributed across several memories and processors. 
     The logic, circuitry, and processing described above may be encoded or stored in a machine-readable or computer-readable medium such as a compact disc read only memory (CDROM), magnetic or optical disk, flash memory, random access memory (RAM) or read only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) or other machine-readable medium such as, for example, instructions for execution by a processor, controller, or other processing device. 
     The medium may be implemented as any device that contains, stores, communicates, propagates, or transports executable instructions for use by or in connection with an instruction executable system, apparatus, or device. Alternatively or additionally, the logic may be implemented as analog or digital logic using hardware, such as one or more integrated circuits, or one or more processors executing instructions; or in software in an application programming interface (API) or in a Dynamic Link Library (DLL), functions available in a shared memory or defined as local or remote procedure cells; or as a combination of hardware and software. 
     In other implementations, the logic may be represented in a signal or a propagated-signal medium. For example, the instructions that implement the logic of any given program may take the form of an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or other type of signal. The systems described above may receive such a signal at a communication interface, such as an optical fiber interface, antenna, or other analog or digital signal interface, recover the instructions from the signal, store them in a machine-readable memory, and/or execute them with a processor. 
     The systems may include additional or different logic and may be implemented in many different ways. A processor may be implemented as a controller, microprocessor, microcontroller, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), discrete logic, or a combination of other types of circuits or logic. Similarly, memories may be DRAM, SRAM, Flash, or other types of memory. Parameters (e.g., conditions and thresholds) and other data structures may be separately stored and managed, may be incorporated into a single memory or database, or may be logically and physically organized in many different ways. Programs and instructions may be parts of a single program, separate programs, or distributed across several memories and processors. 
     The HPCA  100  model provides unexpectedly good results for a performance capability assessment model, particularly in the Medicaid program area. In particular, the combinations of key assessment areas and particular assessment criteria of the HPCA model, including the criteria noted in the Appendix of Tables, provide significant advantages over other assessment models. The unexpectedly good results include clearly identifying and delineating from among multiple related complex processes the specific processes to improve, how to improve the process, and identifying concrete and measurable improvement goals.
