This included reading the HL7 files, editing the data and building the IMS data base segments for all ADT transactions in PMAS system* Create COBOL programs for post payment process to read 835 formatted Lock Box file and post payments for Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial and Patient payments to IMS data bases. * Authored online interface from CARE system to HBOC written in ADSPLUS. The interface took O/P pre-admits, admits, discharges and E/R admits and discharges from the CARE system and updated the HBOC system. * Enhanced online interface from CARE system to HBOC to include the insurance modules. This included adding, updating, deactivating, reprioritizing payers and financial class changes, to include the updating of the MSP for Medicare payers* Setup HBOC archive and purge jobs. Modify purge process to store purge date on historical IMS data base. Created restore process that allows the user to request an account to be restored through an online process written with ADSPLUS. Created COBOL batch programs process that only requires the operator to submit one job. That job will then build and submit the JCL with sort parameters for each year that has an account to be restored. This eliminating the need for the operator to know what tape data set the accounts are located on to do the restore *Served as technical lead on installation of HBOC PMAS release 10.5, 6.0, 6.1 and 7.0 for ADT, Patient Accounts and Medical Records. *Key player in closing down HBOC. Including meeting with user Management teams and IT Management team to determine functionality and reports necessary to maintain system as it winds down. Meeting with outside Vendors to help choose a platform to store HBO instead of mainframe. Including modifying production run schedule and removing jobs as they become obsolete. Show less

This includes the analysis, time estimating, attending of all meetings with P.A. management team, writing of specifications and writing new COBOL and ADS programs Create charging system that allow direct posting from any department from dynamic charge screens that are tailor for each department. The process allows the charge screens to be created and modify by the user through online process and request to have screen generator run. This removed the programming staff from the maintenance of these charges screens Develop system to meet hospital requirements for restructuring from a traditional nurse station with ancillary charging to a decentralized environment with sub-ancillaries though out the hospital. This included development of multiple charging and ordering processes that allowed revenue to be routed to any of the 25 different cost centers under each nurse station or any cost center of the sub-ancillaries. This was done with both COBOL batch programs and ADSPLUS online programs.  Key member of install team for IBAX release 87.2 for ADT, Patient Accounts and Medical Records systems. This was a conversion from the NDC system Key member of install team for IBAX release 10 for same systems plus CCS.
