Challenge
The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act revolutionized health care in the United States. Early efforts for an online marketplace at HealthCare.gov were met with major difficulties, but stabilized over time. Together with CMS and our prime contractor Ad Hoc, we were tasked with providing an online hub where Americans can learn more about receiving health coverage through a centralized, government-run health insurance marketplace.
Role
We worked with CMS stakeholders and partner companies to provide the American public with accurate, up-to-date information about health care options and enrollment. Our efforts helped to strengthen content documentation, governance, and process to ensure rapid delivery and consistent quality of content for HealthCare.gov users.

Impact
