Microsoft’s platform, Azure. Family
Health Network (FHN), a group of not-for-profit health plans
governed by local medical providers, went live with the software,
VIDASuiteTM, on November 3.
VIDASuiteTM solutions offer a cost-efficient approach for FHN
to add flexible and scalable functional capabilities to its
administrative system and efficiently integrate new capabilities in a
rapid deployment window. By utilizing Microsoft Azure, a global,
enterprise-grade cloud platform, and Service-Oriented Architecture
(SOA), VIDASuiteTM is component-based, core system agnostic
and easily interactive with multiple third-party and client-developed
applications. With laser-focused, incremental delivery goals, together
with FHN, the Invidasys roll-out was completed in less than six months,
all with minimal disruption to its existing core system.
“The modular Invidasys platform provides all the benefits of a single
core administrative platform without the heavy overhead and annual
upgrade cycles,” said Keith Kudla, CEO, Family Health Network. “Rapid
cloud-based delivery of new core and custom capabilities means we can
focus on business and regulatory requirements without worrying about
application scaling and deployment.”
FHN and Invidasys worked together and initially deployed component
solutions VIDACounterTM, VIDABilityTM and VIDAProTM.
Once all three were brought online, additional components, including
VIDAPlanTM, VIDAClaimTM, VIDAServTM and
VIDAContractTM were recently added to FHN’s existing VIDASuiteTM
platform.
“We are grateful to FHN for its confidence in realizing Invidasys’
vision for delivering software in a timelier, customer-friendly and
manageable component basis,” said Sherwood Chapman, chairman and chief
executive officer, Invidasys. “Rather than a high-risk, 18-24 month
implementation cycle, we successfully rolled out six separate, multiple
component, go-live events over the course of the past 24 months. We
avoided the high-risk, ‘big bang’ approach to delivering all-or-nothing
platforms; instead, we implemented a series of solutions that evolve
with FHN as its business expands and adjusts to the ever-changing
healthcare regulatory landscape.”
All of Invidasys’ software is developed in the United States, and is
built on proprietary workflow platform (VIDAFlowTM), which
enables the seamless integration of the stand-alone components available
in the VIDASuiteTM. The majority of the component software is
code-generated, enabling a swifter, reliable software development
environment.
