About LifePlans

LifePlans, based in Waltham MA, provides risk and care management products and services to insurance companies to determine whether individuals are qualified for the insurance coverage.

Project Summary

PCA developed a healthcare risk assessment database in MS Access that allows nurse associates to analyze diagnosis risk factors and determine long-term health care implications.  LifePlans uses the application internally and markets, sells and supports the application commercially.

Business Need

LifePlans' existing system was built using a FoxPro database -- the system was missing key functionality, was difficult to use, and system performance and reliability was degrading with continued use.

PCA Solution

PCA converted the FoxPro database to a modern multi-user platform comprised of Visual Basic and Microsoft Access.  PCA evaluated LifePlans workflow and functional needs during the applicaiton migration process, filled in the functional gaps and streamlined the workflow.  PCA also developed several versions of the solution to support different customer deployment scenarios e.g.  standalone and networked use, and administration controls.
