Burlington, Mass. – Dec. 15, 2009 – HealthEdge, provider of the only modern, enterprise-class software platform for healthcare payors, today announced that it has entered into a partnership with iWay Software, a leading provider of enterprise integration tools, that will enable HealthEdge clients to quickly and cost-effectively integrate their internal systems, partner networks, and exchanges with HealthEdge’s award-winning HealthRules product suite. iWay’s simple but powerful integration approach allows HealthEdge’s staff, partners, and customers to easily build interfaces to and from the HealthRules software. The iWay products utilize a state-of-the-art integration and transformation engine, and a collection of modular, reusable “adapters” to provide a robust, highly scalable offering that is able to meet the needs of enterprises of all sizes.
“Healthcare payors are faced with a rapidly changing and an increasingly complex environment,” explained Gerald Cohen, CEO and president of iWay Software. “To be successful in this new world, payors must integrate all of their systems and workflows and they must collect, use and communicate information more efficiently. Leveraging the iWay offerings with HealthEdge’s innovative, game-changing HealthRules product suite will enable payors to reduce implementation risk and enjoy a faster, less costly, and more robust integration effort.”
“Our partnership with iWay is enabling us to provide some of the most timely and cost-effective implementations in the healthcare industry,” said Rob Gillette, CEO of HealthEdge. “This is yet another example of how HealthEdge is leveraging the capabilities of cutting-edge partners like iWay to provide organizations deploying our software with an implementation experience that is second to none.”
Using HealthRules, payors are able to quickly and easily design and implement any type of benefit plan or provider contract, regardless of complexity, in only hours or days, not the weeks or months that are normally required with other systems. They are also able to immediately take advantage of new market opportunities, automate all of their existing lines of business, and enjoy the benefits of new standards like ICD-10.
