Overview
Program Title
CMS Integrated Data Repository Cloud (IDRC)
Description
The Integrated Data Repository (IDR) is a cornerstone to the Agency's data environment. The rationale for establishing this integrated repository was to transition from a claims-centric data warehouse orientation to a multi-view data warehouse orientation that is capable of integrating data on beneficiaries, providers, health plans, claims, drug data, etc. This integration of data enables analytic reporting by providing users with the ability to analyze data in place rather than relying on voluminous extracts of raw data. The platforms chosen provide database scalability to meet current and expanding volumes of CMS data and transitions CMS from a stove-piped, disparate set of databases to a highly integrated data environment for the enterprise.
