Member-Centric Architecture

Updated over a month ago

Member-Centric Architecture

The Medecision Platform is designed around a foundational principle: every object, interaction, rule, and event is anchored to a single, unified member record. This architecture ensures that all data, workflows, and automation logic contribute to a longitudinal, real-time understanding of each member’s journey across care, utilization, outreach, and regulatory functions.


Core Principle: Member as the Source of Truth

Each member in the system has a unique ID and serves as the central node for all related entities:

  • Programs (Care Management, Appeals, UM, Engagement)

  • Tasks and assignments

  • Requests (Authorizations, Appeals, Grievances)

  • Assessments and screenings

  • Outreach history (digital or telephonic)

  • Clinical data (claims, ADT, SDOH, risk)

  • Correspondence and letters

  • Notes, timeline events, and interactions

This design allows for a 360-degree, real-time, and auditable record for each member.


Member Profile Data Model

The Member Profile aggregates and synchronizes multiple data domains:

Key Sections

  • Demographics: Name, DOB, gender, race, ethnicity

  • Eligibility: Payer info, coverage periods, PCP, risk stratification tier

  • Contact Info: Addresses, phone, language, communication preferences

  • Identifiers: Member ID, plan ID, internal UID, external mappings

  • Linked Entities: Programs, Tasks, Requests, Assessments, Outreach History

Data Sources

  • Eligibility and enrollment files

  • Claims and provider data

  • Social determinants and community data

  • ADT and HL7 feeds

  • FHIR-based API integrations

The profile updates automatically when new data is received via file feeds or APIs.


Comprehensive Member View (CMV)

The CMV is the platform’s core UI surface for viewing and interacting with a member’s full history.

Features

  • Chronological Timeline of all system and user activity

  • Visual indicators of active programs, open tasks, requests, and TAT risk

  • Filters by module (Care Management, UM, Digital Outreach, Appeals)

  • Linked assessments, letters, and call notes

  • Real-time updates and auto-refresh

Interaction Use Cases

  • Care managers reviewing member engagement before outreach

  • UM reviewers verifying prior authorizations tied to other programs

  • Compliance teams auditing appeals resolution steps

All items on the CMV are clickable and support drill-down into full detail views.


Timeline Architecture

Every event or interaction tied to a member is recorded on their timeline.

Types of Entries

  • Program enrollment or stage progression

  • Task assignments, completions, escalations

  • Assessment completions and results

  • Request status updates (e.g., submitted, in review, resolved)

  • Outreach messages sent (email, SMS, IVR)

  • Correspondence generation and delivery

  • Notes, calls, and user interactions

Technical Design

  • Indexed by event type, date/time, actor (system or user)

  • Fully filterable and auditable

  • Integrated with reporting and event-based triggers


Role-Based Views and Access

Access to member data is role- and context-aware:

  • Care Managers see care programs, tasks, assessments

  • UM Nurses see requests, decisions, peer reviews

  • Outreach Coordinators see campaign history, journey steps

  • Compliance staff see appeals, grievances, and correspondence

Permission sets control edit/view rights across modules. Audit logs are maintained at every interaction.


Integration with Builders

The member-centric model is tightly integrated with builder tools:

  • Rules Builder: Conditions evaluated against member data (e.g., age, risk tier, program status)

  • Program Builder: Uses member attributes to trigger eligibility or progression logic

  • Assessment Builder: Launches member-specific screens, prefilled with known data

  • Journey Builder: Sends outreach based on member preferences and timeline activity


FHIR & API Alignment

The platform exposes member data via both REST and FHIR APIs:

  • GET /member/{id}: Full member profile

  • GET /member/{id}/timeline: All associated events

  • POST /member/{id}/request: Submit a new prior auth

  • PATCH /member/{id}: Update member attributes

APIs support integration with external EMRs, HIEs, call center systems, and payer portals.


Member Identity Resolution

The platform supports:

  • Use of external master member index (MMI)

  • Client-specific member IDs or internal UIDs

  • Multiple identifier types per member (e.g., Medicaid, Exchange, Medicare)

  • Deduplication via deterministic and probabilistic matching

This ensures consistency even across multiple plans, lines of business, or incoming data sources.


Analytics & Reporting

Because every object is tied to the member, downstream analytics can:

  • Measure engagement across programs per member

  • Track request turnaround and resolution time by member cohort

  • Compare outcomes by SDOH, age, or geography

  • Visualize longitudinal clinical activity (e.g., IP admits, risk scores)


Compliance and Auditability

  • All user/system changes to member data are logged

  • Correspondence and decisions tied to requests/programs are date-stamped

  • Reporting extracts include full member history and associations


This architecture powers all workflows in the Medecision Platform by ensuring that the member is always the single source of truth. Every builder tool, decision engine, and user interface is optimized to reflect and act on the member's complete context.
