Complex issues comprising of a set of interlinked problems.
Changing requirements.
No unique and permanent solution rather only a temporary resolution.
Stakeholders have different views of the problems and contradictory solutions.
Problems of a social nature with a great impact on people’s lives.

Mess Mapping

(viz. stakeholder matrix)
• Information collection (viz. surveys)
• Visual representation of stakeholder perspectives (viz. rich pictures)
• Deriving inter-relationships between perspectives
Resolution Mapping
• Prioritizing outcomes in case of conflicting stakeholder requirements. (viz. MOSCOW methods)
• Selecting the desired end state to be the current state.
• Determining the events leading to the end state
• Deciding upon the relevant actions to achieve the End state.
Solution assessment & validation
• Assessment of the potential risks and changes to the problem domain. (viz. maintenance of issue logs, risk to risk mapping)
• Iterative implementation of the ‘plan, do, check, act’ cycle.

Postponement of the Individual Mandate for 2014
• Owing to technological challenges, the SHOP module implementation in health insurance exchanges (HIX) was delayed in 2014 and therefore all such potential SHOP enrollees who missed coverage in 2014 were exempted from the Individual Mandate. Exemplifies a temporary change in solution to handle a change in requirement.
The Small Business and Family Relief Act
• Introduced to delay the health insurance tax for two years starting 2014, providing immediate financial relief to those impacted by the tax.
Introduction of PPACA safe harbors
• Introduction of look-back/ stability periods for determining full time employees of small employers.
• Introduction of the 90 day limit on waiting periods.
• The original proposition of a payment through the HIX each time an enrollment or a renewal happened was later amended due to payer and end customer requirements.
Direct payment at insurer’s site for renewal of enrollments
