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 |
