We increase the value of information for our clients by identifying and fashioning solutions using new technologies. This increased value is often revealed in improved workflow processes, more productive employees and enhanced customer experiences. Below is a case study outlining a project which focused on creating an innovative system to transform the way our clients do business.
 
Case Study

In the insurance business, insurers often seek independent reviews from physicians, especially in cases where a diagnosis or treatment is in question. While working on their MBAs at LSU, Eric Arkin and Rich Krimmel had an idea to form National Independent Review Organization (NIRO), a system to provide insurance companies independent medical reviews delivered over the Internet. To transform this idea into a working system, they contacted Technology Engineers.

Using the latest Internet development tools, our team developed a strategy and set of requirements that would be an innovative approach to medical case management. The system of interfaces between insurers, doctors and NIRO administrators was built around a relational database designed from the ground up. The fully implemented database system accepts requests from insurance companies seeking independent reviews and allow NIRO administrators to assign the review to physician/specialist via the Internet. Once the physician is found and agrees to perform the evaluation, the secure medical records are transferred over the Internet for review; and upon completion, transferred back to NIRO. An administrator then performs a cursory review for thoroughness and sends the evaluation to the requesting insurer.

The entire process can happen within a matter of hours, with the insurer getting a completely independent review from a qualified, medical specialist. For providing this service, NIRO charges a processing fee, and can handle medical review cases anywhere at any time. The system is intricate technology allows insurers, doctors and NIRO administrators to all operate independently and in real-time. In a word, it’s innovation.
