ssa-hit-architect

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the knowledge gap for solution and segment architects working on SSA disability program integrations, providing authoritative, up-to-date domain knowledge of SSA's medical evidence collection ecosystem, legacy system constraints, and regulatory requirements that prevent non-compliant or non-functional solution designs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• SSA Systems Reference: Detailed breakdown of core SSA HIT and case processing systems (MEGAHIT, EDCS, CEF, ERE, DCPS, eView) with their functions, integration relevance, and technical constraints.
• Policy & Compliance Guidance: Critical POMS sections, SSA-827/e-827 authorization rules, accepted document format standards (CCDA, IHE XCA), and FedRAMP requirements to ensure solutions meet SSA's regulatory and technical guardrails.
• Opportunity & Integration Matrix: Ten identified structural gaps in SSA's evidence collection workflow with specific integration touchpoints for solution plug-in, plus RFI context, market landscape (TEFCA, eHealth Exchange, key partners), and architect guidance for common integration scenarios (AI/NLP layers, identity resolution, record collection vendors).
• Use Case: An architect designing an AI/NLP layer to process incoming medical records for SSA examiners can use this skill to identify the correct integration point (CEF → eView/DCPS), required FedRAMP impact levels, policy constraints around PDF/TIFF conversion, and mandatory human review gates for medical equivalence findings.

Quick Start

Use the ssa-hit-architect skill to map your proposed electronic health record integration solution to SSA's MEGAHIT, CEF, and DCPS system touchpoints and validate compliance with POMS policy and technical standards.
