Today I am at Nava PBC's (I work for Nava) Open Source Summit in Washington, DC. Nava today announced our open source Strata platform, and OSCER (Open Source Community Engagement Reporting) tool.

OSCER

A comprehensive platform for managing Medicaid community engagement requirements: built to help states implement and administer work requirements and exemption processes in compliance with federal regulations.

OSCER is a new tool for government agencies that now must require reporting of work or community engagement by HR1. OSCER is a "sidecar" app that can be deployed alongside an agencies existing systems to enable beneficiaries to easily report work activities, and agency staff to review/validate/process that data. There are well-documented integration touchpoints that make it easy to initiate the workflows and processing the outputs.

OSCER is built on Strata:
