This reference model takes these drivers into consideration while defining its required technology services. Additionally, the model adheres to the CCIIO/CMS Guidance for Exchange and Medicaid Information Technology (IT) Systems and aims to be aligned with the Technical Architecture defined in the Medicaid Information Technology Architecture (MITA) Framework. 1.2 Evolution of the Model This Technical Reference Model should be revised on a cycle of no less than two years from its last implementation/revision date. The technology services and logical components defined in the model are expected to be relatively clearly defined; it is recognized that the requirements will need to accommodate revision, as fidelity will increase as the project progresses. Significant changes to the Exchange guidance and/or the MITA Framework, although not likely, would have direct impacts on
