- Meeting the urgent need to understand enrollment patterns and anticipate growth while assessing operational risks and policy needs.
- Predicting and mitigating risks by optimizing case management and service delivery (such as staffing requirements and fraud prevention efforts) while adapting to the pace of ongoing changes.
