MDI's E.A.R.L. Analytics Tool to be Featured in Keynote at MIX10 - Microsoft's Annual Conference

"Our customers have been using the E.A.R.L. technology for almost two years," said MDI Healthcare Solutions President Ted Willich. "We have been working on this latest iteration for the better part of 2009, and what we've created is a detailed graphic representation of data that up until now has been very hard to understand. To be recognized at this very important gathering of industry professionals is very gratifying."

E.A.R.L. is a user-friendly graphic tool that visualizes a patient's medical history, including diagnoses, claims and pharmacy information. Through an interactive visual interpretation of the human body, users are able to review claim-supported patient history at a glance. Color identifies the severity of the affected organs, bones, and other areas within the body, allowing customers to quickly identify high-risk situations and manage future healthcare costs. E.A.R.L. is accessed through a secure portal by MDI's customers, protecting patient identity and privacy.

The second-generation E.A.R.L. is part of the company's newly launched MDI Analytics Suite, which allows users to analyze and manipulate data to manage current and future healthcare costs in an easy-to-use, flexible, web-based reporting gateway. MDI's driven staff, along with Silverlight's rapid development capabilities, made it possible to create and implement this revolutionary product in a very short timeframe.

"Silverlight enables a variety of business application scenarios, and Microsoft looks forward to seeing how the healthcare industry will benefit from MDI Healthcare Solutions' new Silverlight-based E.A.R.L. technology," said Steve Sklepowich, director for Silverlight at Microsoft Corp. "E.A.R.L. is a great example of how companies can use Silverlight to power rich, line of business applications that provide users with an efficient, visual way to interpret data."

The MDI Analytics Suite also includes powerful health data analysis tools that make a variety of standard and customizable reports available to assist in decision-making and understanding medical claims data.
