A Simple App Solves A Big Problem

Researchers who present posters at scientific or medical symposia often have to create hundreds of scaled-down, hard-to-read printouts of their poster for handing out at the session. Dark Scorpion's Poster Commander is a less expensive and "green" alternative to poster handouts, and allows a researcher to transmit, using the iPhone's Bluetooth capability, an electronic file (PDF) of the poster from his or her iPhone to the iPhones of attendees who also have this app. Through the "Statistics" screen, poster presenters can keep track of how many times each poster is downloaded and, if selected, the contact information of the person who downloaded the application.

MedExpress is a fast-growing company managing patient medical records for an increasing number of clients extending across multiple states in the US. In addition to collecting and storing patient medical records, MedExpress handles requests from patients or their representatives for copies of personal healthcare documents. Before engaging Art & Logic, they struggled with the ability to track these requests. It is particularly important for them to be able to produce reports which indicate clearly a complete audit trail of a request from start to fulfillment. This report must also indicate exactly what personal healthcare documents had been delivered to the requester. MedExpress engaged Art & Logic to develop for them a web-based application, written in PHP and leveraging the Yii framework. This application will be used by multiple groups of users within the MedExpress organization to enter and then procress a request through the required workflow. Authentication is provided through an interface to the organizations LDAP system. Email notifications, using customizable templates are used to alert employees when a request has changed status, and needs some attention. The application allows for the upload and storage of scanned medical documents as well as the initial requests and any supporting documentation. Security levels ensure that only the appropriately authorized individuals have access to sensitive medical information throughout the process. The system assists in the generation of invoices and the tracking of those invoices and payments. In addition the system provides a feature which tracks attempts by workers to contact the initial requester for additional information if required. Once the requested healthcare documents have been gathered the system tracks the delivery method and confirmation of delivery. A report can be generated which details the particulars of an individual request as well as a listing of the documents that were delivered to the requester.
