Challenge
The Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Quick Disability Determination (QDD) process takes several days to run on an unwieldly desktop solution. Those suffering with medical conditions so serious who clearly met the Agency’s disability standards were waiting several days before receiving an outcome.
Approach
ITC developed an algorithm within 6 months by creating two models that merged data from multiple sources into a single solution. We developed and created SAS analytic files, generated statistical output, formulated program approaches, wrote, tested, implemented, refined code, and performed QC/QA including bench-marking.
