March 5, 2000
Columbus, Ohio…PerDatum Incorporated, a Columbus based software development
company, is pleased to announce that Managed Health Care Services, Inc. a Navisource
Company (MHCS) has selected PerDatum’s award winning PROGNOS software to assist them
in providing manage care services to Ohio’s injured workers. MHCS has implemented
PROGNOS-MCO at their Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati facilities. MHCS expects
the new software to increase the efficiency and cost effectiveness of their medical
management services, and help to ensure their client’s injured workers receive the
best possible medical care and are returned to work quickly and efficiently.
PerDatum’s MCO software facilitates efficient data management for its clients and
assists in complying with all Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation HPP guidelines.
The easy-to-use Windows based application provides capabilities for incident reporting,
case management, treatment planning, fee bill processing, check writing, statistical
analysis, and electronic data interchange (EDI). The system contains a fully integrated
EDI module for electronically transmitting and receiving first reports of injury, medical
fee bills, treatment plans, and company information directly with the Ohio Bureau of
Workers’ Compensation.
Mark Tochtenhagen, PerDatum’s President states "Our primary objectives are to
increase the efficiency of managing occupational injury and illness data, provide flexible
analytical tools for evaluating the effectiveness of medical management services, and to
ensure injured workers get the best possible medical care and are returned to work quickly
and in good health. A good example of this is our new EDI module; it lets our clients send
and receive data directly with the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. This
eliminates the need to use a Value Added Network, and reduces our MCO clients monthly data
transmission costs.
PerDatum also offers software products specifically designed for employers and medical
providers. These applications are designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
safety, workers’ compensation, and occupational health programs.
