We take a holistic approach to making Medicaid technology work upstream and downstream of your organization so you can focus on saving lives, protecting health, and promoting equity.

State Agencies

Agilian has worked with every kind of state health and human services (HHS) agency. We understand their systems, regulators, funders, standards, and how they work together to provide for the whole health of their enrollees and stakeholders.

Agilian has modernized Health Benefits Exchanges, Human Services, Child Welfare, Child Support, and both MAGI and traditional eligibility systems development.

Managed Care Organizations (MCOs)

Innovation in Medicaid flows through MCOs and the resulting health outcomes for enrollees are shaped and constrained by the quality of the data flowing in and out of payers.

We’ve helped MCOs with every aspect of their digital transformation including staying ahead of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) unwinding, meeting the FHIR requirements of the 21st Century Cures Act, and using data analytics to win managed care contracts in new and existing markets.

Community Health Providers

Community Health Providers are on the front line of health equity in America, serving marginalized people in their most vulnerable moments.

Agilian’s Digital Liberation methodology frees providers to focus on delivering better health outcomes. We work with not only clinical networks and FQHCs, but also home health care, school support, long term care, PACE, as well as community-based organizations (CBOs) that provide food-as-medicine and transportation.

Digital Liberation is a proven methodology delivering extraordinary results across thousands of projects in the Health and Social Equity Ecosystem

Agilian is a full service strategy, technology, and change management boutique consultancy. We are prepared to provide the full range of capabilities you need to improve equitable health outcomes for your community.

Innovation Architecture

Agilian helps our clients understand how their initiatives impact (and are impacted by) their entire ecosystem from end-to-end. We have a long list of satisfied customers who we’ve helped completely transform the most important parts of their businesses.

Enterprise INtegration and Interoperability

Health equity enterprises do not stand alone and are required to work closely with partners, funders, and regulators. Agilian has been taking the pain out of interoperability for organizations like yours for decades. We have been developing standards-based interoperability stacks for 20 years including: AWS Airflow, Oracle OIC, RabbitMQ, BizTalk, Mulesoft, and SeeBeyond.

Big Data & Analytics

It’s impossible to run an organization today without real time, actionable, accurate information about your organization and your clients. Agilian leverages services in the cloud that will put your health equity enterprise on the same footing as the FedEx, Netflix, or Disney.

Value Delivery Office

Agilian and its founders have more than 20 years of standing up Value Delivery Offices to help organizations transition effectively and confidently from Waterfall to Agile, and manage complex transformation portfolios — often in intricate, challenging environments.

Cloud Software

Agilian is often brought in by health equity enterprises to support their most intractable, complex, and challenging software. We turn around challenged software projects and successfully move legacy systems to modern cloud or hybrid environments.

Lean Startup Development

Agilian brings startup know-how, attitude, and discipline to organizations needing an entrepreneurial refresh due to innovation in the Medicaid ecosystem. We guide our clients to develop new business and technology using a startup approach by doing it with you. Lean discovery, design thinking, innovation accounting, and decision-making in the midst of ambiguity are in our DNA. Let us show you how.

People are the future of your organization.

The human side of the work is every bit as important as the technology, if not more.

Learning Development

It doesn’t matter how good your plans are if your team doesn’t understand how to execute. Agilian works with folks at every level of your organization to teach them how to get ready for the future you’ve envisioned.

Organizational Change Management

The Agilian team are masters at delivering phased transformational change: creating momentum, reducing resistance, and institutionalizing breakthrough results.

business process reengineering

You can’t change something you can’t see. Agilian helps you map out the who, what, where, and when of your most important work and re-engineer it to support your imperatives.

Agilian helps Health Equity Enterprises navigate transformational change: working with people to help them learn, grow, and change.

We deliver Learning Development, Organizational Change Management (OCM), Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), and Training services to our customers who don’t have that capability readily at hand internally.

Definition of Liberation

At Agilian, we use “Digital Liberation” to describe the core of what we do for our clients.  We think it’s important to talk about why we chose to include the word “liberation” in how we present our work as it has a special place in our human lexicon.

The word liberation has two definitions according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: 

1. the act or process of freeing a country or a person from the control of somebody else. 

   e.g., a war of liberation 

2. the act or process of freeing somebody from something that limits their control over or pleasure in their own life. 

   e.g., liberation from poverty 

What We Mean By Digital Liberation

At Agilian, we use the second definition when we refer to Digital Liberation.  

Over the past 20 years, we have developed the process and methodologies to liberate enterprises with health and social equity missions from the constraints of their legacy digital technologies as well as the control of the vendors who developed them. 

We typically liberate health equity enterprises from closed technology (e.g., proprietary software hosted in vendor-controlled infrastructure) to enable them to embrace—in whole or in part—open technology (e.g., open-source software engineered for cloud portability). 

Digital Liberation allows our clients to take control of their own systemic change through technology, thereby improving the outcomes of reorganizations, effectively adapting to regulatory changes, and realigning system automation with their values and the interests of the people they serve. 

We stand by the value of what we do and the fact that our work is technologically liberating in a legitimate sense for our clients and the people they serve. That being said, we feel it’s important to say a few words about the other, perhaps more important, definition of liberation. 

Agilian recognizes that many people around the world are in a life-and-death struggle for liberation.  People are being tortured, enslaved, invaded, oppressed, coerced, and exploited at the local, national, and international levels.   

Capitalism, Western imperialism, and the standards of white supremacy are frequently the root cause of these injustices—not only here in America, but also in Western-supported dictatorships in Africa, South and Central America, and parts of Asia.   

In our use of the word “liberation,” we are not equating our work with our clients with the liberation needed to free people from the harm of totalitarianism, war, dictatorship, and/or fascism. Indeed, we stand in solidarity with people struggling to achieve liberation around the world and with non-violent organizations that are supporting those in life-and-death struggles for liberation. 

Recognizing the vast resources that are needed to support such liberation efforts, Agilian offers our Digital Liberation services without cost to organizations that share our vision for social justice, antiracism, and gender liberation through our Digital Liberation Jumpstart Program.  We hope that this offering will contribute to efforts to make struggles for liberation a long-distant part of history.
