Nava Announces Groundbreaking Open-Source Initiative

In a significant move to improve the implementation of Medicaid services, Nava Public Benefit Corporation has unveiled an ambitious initiative aimed at developing an open-source software solution designed to help states comply with the requirements set forth in H.R. 1. This recent federal legislation has the potential to impact millions of Americans' eligibility for critical benefits, making the need for effective implementation more important than ever.

Nava, decorated for its decade-long experience in aiding agencies with high-stakes deadlines, is set to provide a comprehensive framework that includes:

• - Modular, Open-Source Architecture: This foundational component will jumpstart development, allowing states to adopt a flexible approach to modernization.
• - Digital Service Tools: A suite of software and infrastructure tools will be available to quickly and safely build, operate, and maintain essential applications for state agencies.
• - Collaborative Progress Updates: Regular demo days will be hosted, encouraging transparency and the sharing of lessons learned amongst participating states.
• - Philanthropic Support: Opportunities for philanthropic contributions will be available to help offset implementation costs and further enhance the initiative.

Through this initiative, Nava demonstrates its commitment to simple and effective government services. Rohan Bhobe, CEO and co-founder of Nava, emphasized the importance of evolving technology in government systems: “States shouldn't have to rely on slow, expensive updates to aging systems.
