Brazil: Convênio Médico Policlin Saúde digitalized its health plan management

Convênio Médico Policlin Saúde needed to automate some of its management processes. Its business relied on a single program for health care records, and functioned on computers connected to a virtual machine network.

The company searched the market for a system to optimize the development of a solution capable of fulfilling all requirements involved in a computerized health plan,  including the management of records related to clients and plan beneficiaries.

Solution:

To comply with such requirements, the company hired the firm Dash Engenharia de Sistemas, a GeneXus agent that developed the tool in record time using Low-Code. This allowed significant timesaving in relation to other system development apps.

Results:

After two years of positive results with the tool, the company decided to go for its own GeneXus licenses, so it created a system development department to pursue the computerization process that commenced with the systems developed previously by Dash.

From there on, the health care plan of the Policlin Group acquired the status of a health care plan operator, and this called for adjustments in all their existing systems, to comply with regulations in place. This was made easy thanks to the effective GeneXus platform, both for new implementations, as well as for maintenance of the systems they were already operating with. 

The company also used the platform to develop a web portal for information exchange, in real time, with the providers of the medical network. They acquired licenses of the .Net version to automate all management and administration processes for the health care operator.

In addition to the initial systems developed with the GeneXus tool –such as Registry Controls, Invoicing, Medical Audits and Costs–, they also developed a web services management system that allowed for an agile authorization of services for nearly 50 thousand lives included in the beneficiary services portfolio. The system includes the possibility of electronically forwarding monthly medical bills generated by the 560 providers authorized in the Policlin network.
