Case Study: MySQL/DB2
We were recently mentioned in a case study by Hit Software. Below is the excerpt from the case study referencing Vertigo Group. The complete white paper may be accessed here: Whitepaper HIT Software MySQL DB2.
Oregon Health Systems (OHS), a leading managed care organization, has a provider network of approximately 1500 physicians. OHS’ sophisticated medical management system serves thousands of workers in its region for workers compensation plans and care.
OHS, as an independent managed care organization (MCO) of physician and clinical treatment for occupational injuries and illness, is responsible for managing the patient history from enrollment through resolution, identifying key events and communicating on a regular basis with physicians and claims adjusters. First certified in limited areas in 1991, OHS now offers services to workers throughout the entire state of Oregon. It is the only MCO certified for the entire state. OHS also offers managed care services in Montana as Montana Health Systems, and other case management and cost containment services in several other western states.
MCOs are utilized by workers’ compensation insurers and self-insured employers to provide injured workers appropriate, cost-effective medical treatment and disability management, and to ensure the claims process and medical care are moving forward. Oregon Health Systems requires the ability to integrate patient, insurance, treatment and disability information in their process of overseeing worker care.
According to Ryan Hopman, Systems Integrator and Consultant, Vertigo Group LLC(3), “OHS faced a common situation where they had to integrate data from various formats and databases. As a management service, they have to be able to see data holistically in order to determine optimized treatment and physician recommendations, as well as track the patient history.” OHS’ critical requirement was to be able to use IBM DB2 data in their provider management system, and key considerations were time-to-value and a streamlined and efficient IT system. “Using HiT Software’s DBMoto data replication capabilities, we were able to quickly and easily integrate data from MySQL, IBM and other systems in our solution for OHS, as well as reduce development time,” added Hopman. “OHS now has a reliable solution that can scale to fit their growth and expansion plans.”
