CH Mack Announces New Managed Health Care Software

 

‘Evergreen’ Product Allows Users to Reconfigure as Demands Change

 

Cincinnati, OH -- The price of health care may be rising, but one Cincinnati health care software company is determined to help managed care providers cut costs-- and improve patient care.

 

CH Mack announces development of its new MedCompass™ product—software that allows health care providers to track and treat patients with its patient-centric system.

 

MedCompass utilizes easy-to-use, next-generation, browser-based media and interactive Web applications. It employs service-oriented architecture (SOA) to help users integrate claims, care guidelines, payroll, EMR, lab data and billing. CH Mack’s platform architecture is easily configured and can be extended with client needs, improving business agility, simplifying integration, and supporting business process management (BPM) and .NET initiatives.

 

 “These functions allow a provider a virtual one-stop shop in caring for a patient.,” said Chris Boue, CH Mack president. “A user can track a patient and treat that patient as he or she moves through the health care system.”

 

MedCompass is also adaptable to health care user needs. “When health care organizations invest in a system, they don’t want to spend additional revenue to re-organize their business or work flow process,” he added. “Inevitably, though, we all tweak our systems. With our ‘evergreen’ software, once an associate is trained or certified, he or she can easily make work flow and procedural changes.“

 

 The software is also user-friendly. “We understand that health providers need software that new hires and newly-trained employees can easily operate,” said Melinda Rea, marketing director. “Our software has a low learning-curve and a high adoption rate.”

 

 From a technical perspective, MedCompass allows changes to workflow, task queues, and standard objects like patient, care plan, clinical data, and provider. It also links to external systems such as claims, care guidelines, standard data formats like Health Level VII and HIPAA Transaction Sets, robust assessment/surveys, and reporting capability and tools.

 

CH Mack is a 16-year-old company with 95 managed care, government and health care customers. Its software helps case workers serve seven million people.
