Blue Chip Consulting Group Introduces LTCIntegrator - Pharmacy Mgmt System Platform Migration

Blue Chip (Blue Chip), a Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner, announces the immediate availability of a structured Application Platform Migration program that securely archives and integrates existing pharmacy management data directly into FrameworkLTC®. SoftWriters Inc. is a Microsoft Certified Partner and their pharmacy management software, FrameworkLTC®, is the only major offering written on the Microsoft platform. Blue Chip's LTCIntegrator suite of solutions enables SoftWriters' clients the confidence to accurately and efficiently plan, configure, migrate and validate legacy data in FrameworkLTC®.

Tim Hutchison is Vice President of SoftWriters Inc. "We provide a pharmacy mangement system designed for Pharmacies servicing Long Term Care and Institutional Facilities. There are few 3rd party vendors that complement our solution with offerings such as this comprehensive data migration program. Blue Chip provides the technology transition differentiator that is lacking in the LTCP industry."

An influential player in the LTC industry, Pharmacy Management Group (PMG), needed a reliable partner to assist with an Application Platform Optimization project and the subsequent implementation of FrameworkLTC®. Additionally, the most crucial aspect of their platform transition was entrusted to Blue Chip; the migration of their legacy Rescot Systems LTCP pharmacy management information comprising of 3 pharmacies and some 7500 beds.

"We understood the cost and risks of manually populating the FrameworkLTC® program, but thought we had little choice - Anthony Coury, Chief Financial Officer, Pharmacy Management Group". Mr. Coury continues, ". . . the Blue Chip team understood our business, as well as our infrastructure and data - they secured our trust in very short order. Their Solution Architects and Consultants created the technical and business Roadmap suited to our needs and timelines. They uncovered our existing Business Processes necessary to assure proper migration of our key data."

"Blue Chip's tools were flexible enough to assess our current data structure and built custom 'Business Rules' based on our operational model. They more than migrated existing data, they actually transformed our Patient, Physician, Rx, Insurance and Facilities data into information, helping PMG meet corporate and industry standards."

Joel Caracciolo, Senior Consultant with Blue Chip, assumed the lead technologist role through the life of the implementation. He worked very closely with Tony and PMG's Associate Director of Pharmacy, Bob Traffis. "Although their business model was very complex, we were successful in capturing all of their information through the existing LTCIntegrator Business Rules. Where we discovered very specialized situations, I was able to create custom, 'complex' Business Rules relatively quickly."

As technology transition specialists, Blue Chip prides themselves on understanding and creating eBusiness and Enterprise solutions for clients in the Health and Life Sciences industries. This unique and completely customizable solution maximizes FrameworkLTC® clients' technology investment.

"Blue Chip is proud and honored to gain the trust of such an influential Long-Term Care Pharmacy as Pharmacy Management Group. Through collaborative communication with SoftWriters, their clients and prospects, as well as our participating in industry associations and related events, Blue Chip is committed to providing extended and adjacent solutions to the LTCP industry." - Jim Peelman, Managing Partner of Blue Chip.
