Community Health and Counseling Services

Accelerated Web Development with EGL

  • Challenge: When the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) instituted plans for a behavioral health managed care system, Community Health and Counseling Services (CHCS) needed to rapidly develop managed care modules for its electronic medical record (EMR) system.

  • Solution: CHCS used Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) to implement a Web-based prior authorization tracking system and establish a foundation for quickly responding to evolving regulatory demands.

  • Key Benefits: In fewer than three months, a small CHCS development team completed its first system with EGL more than four months ahead of the state mandated deadline. By accelerating in-house software development, the company is now better able to respond to changing regulatory requirements in short time frames.

“We have very experienced programmer analysts that know RPG very well. With EGL, we are not going to lose that strength; we are going to complement it with the ability to deploy browser-based user interfaces.” - Ehab Abdelwahed, Lead Valerie Levy, MIS Manager
