Combining this rule-based environment with an intuitive presentation layer and HP OpenVMS—a highly secure operating system that when deployed correctly has never been hacked—IQware released the IQware Development Platform v1 to the world on June 20, 2007. Founded in 2006, IQware is a new, patented (US #7,322,028) way of doing healthcare software. IQware is both a Master Data Management (MDM) application and a rule-based development tool to create new and/or enhance existing healthcare applications that deliver the right data to the right place at the right time. IQware is rule-based which means that the capabilities and functions that IQware delivers are controlled by rules. All decisions by IQware are made at run-time – not at compile time. When you change a rule, you change what IQware does – right away – with no programming required. This allows business process experts to develop functionality without translating the need to programmers writing code. Product Overview IQware developed a comprehensive, HIPAA-compliant health information delivery system for MTM plans. Providing a secure audit trail and comprehensive reports for reimbursement, the IQware MTM solution: • Eases administrative and reporting burdens through automation – Pharmacists have more time with patients and increased revenue opportunities. • More MTM patients = more MTM revenue for the pharmacist. • Tracks and taxes each MTM transaction – Creating revenue for the pharmacist each time an MTM encounter is logged into the system. • Tracks adverse drug effects and interactions – Specifically targets and maximizes positive patient outcomes, thereby reducing negative consequences of drug interactions. • Integrates seamlessly with all existing pharmacy systems. • Installs without cooperation with or intervention from current vendors. • Complies with HIPAA and PDP rules and regulations – Offers a complete audit trail of all transactions for governmental reporting and filing requirements. • Offers 100% resistance to desktop viruses hackers – With built-in security at the software level. • Identifies “dual- eligibles” – Alerts the pharmacist to lapsed or late payments by PDPs. • Identifies patients within the current population who could benefit from MTM/DSM services currently or in the future. Features & Options Where traditional application development methods usually require significant investment in terms of time and money, IQware MTM/DSM is based on IQware’s unique, patented rule-based architecture and revolutionary development methodology. Offering a paradigm switch from traditional software and development practices, IQware MTM/DMS enables you to: • Modify applications on the fly, eliminating the costly software development cycle; enabling you to comply with evolving regulatory requirements. • Deliver the right information to the right people at the right time. • Enhance information management security using HP OpenVMS— the highly secure operating system that when deployed properly, has never been hacked. • Set permissions based on access control at the object layer, enforced by cryptography. • Streamline development and deployment, working with any data source and running on any equipment, from a desktop to a handheld. • Seamlessly interoperate and integrate with your data and current fulfillment system. IQware is already helping address an immediate issue impacting Provider reimbursement, readmissions. IQware is providing the Information Technology backbone for a Transition of Care program that will serve as the foundation for the Patient Centered Medical Home at a hospital system in Florida. This will be the model utilized for the long term patient communication and education programs for collection of meaningful outcomes to address the requirement to verify positive results of care for part of the future reimbursement model. IQware will facilitate getting data from the hospital EMR, provide clinical tools and push data to other applications, participants (Pharmacist) and back to the EMR.
