Effective Health Systems, provider of web-based applications, recently released a new application in the BaseLine Platform as a Service (PaaS) to enhance communication between the technologies of claims organizations and third party partners. With the new BaseLine application, a company can easily increase the effectiveness of the professional staff and deliver effective healthcare services in a timely fashion.

"BaseLine is a Platform as a Service that improves the effectiveness of frontline managers by integrating the various technologies engaged in the medical management process," said James Schlueter, President of Effective Health Systems, in a statement. "BaseLine senses when a decision has been made that requires action. At that point the business rules in BaseLine dictate all the incumbent tasks that naturally follow the decision and will instantly carry them out; even when it involves engaging multiple technologies and stakeholders. By handling all the routine decisions, tasks and paperwork, BaseLine enables professional staff to focus on things that require their individual knowledge and expertise."

BaseLine Third Party application was first adopted by One Call Medical, a nationwide leader in MRI-CT-EMG services, with the California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA). Also, MedAllocators, an ASN Company providing MSA and medical management services integrated BaseLine with their medical management software. According to the top officials from both the companies, the application has helped them streamlined the workflow across several technologies.

Bob Zeccardi, Vice President at OCM, noted that the BaseLine platform technology "offers a significant value to all stakeholders. It cuts all the task-clutter adjusters face once the decision is made to send us a referral. With BaseLine, everyone has more time to do what they do best."

Ken Loffredo, President of MedAllocators, said, "BaseLine delivered several applications that supplemented our CaseWorks technology. These have allowed us to offer a broader and more effective medical management service to our clients. Information now flows seamlessly through many different technologies."

"Our medical case management and UR systems integrate with client's claims data system so intake and reporting are streamlined. Internally, the transmission of UR requests to and from our client's peer groups now happens instantly; and, when a request is approved, BaseLine senses the approval and is able to electronically transmit the referral to our client's preferred service partner immediately. Bottom-line, managers throughout the system have more time to focus on the important metrics of their jobs, rather than necessary but routine functions. That's a win for everyone."
