UFMS
Unified Financial Management
System (UFMS) - An integrated, department wide financial
management solution that aligns business and technology to enhance the
Department's ability to fulfill its mission.
During Fiscal Year 2001, HHS initiated the UFMS initiative - a critical component of the Department's efforts to modernize its financial management systems and information technology infrastructure. The UFMS is a critical element of HHS' efforts to improve financial operations and performance.
The unified system will be comprised of two primary sub-components - (1) the Healthcare Integrated General Ledger and Accounting System (HIGLAS), which is a system for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and its Medicare contractors, and (2) another system for the rest of HHS.
The UFMS initiative is projected to continue through Fiscal Year 2007; however, the system is expected to be substantially- implemented by the end of Fiscal Year 2005.
