Advanced Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) Mobile App for Hospices
About
Based in North Carolina, the client is a well-recognized name in the clinical healthcare industry. They operate one of the largest hospices in the region. In recent years, their prime focus has shifted towards managing costs and optimizing the clinical decision-making process. Thus, they approached Brainvire to develop an advanced Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) mobile app.
Project Highlights
The mobile app was ideated to support the existing web-based PBM and help hospice employees in providing superior patient care. Account-wise access for hospice employees, a complete overview of patients, calculation of their day-wise costs, and claims management are the features of this app. Similar to the web version, the app complies with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) standards.

- HIPAA ComplianceAs the mobile app handles patient data, it should comply with HIPAA standards.
- Lack of API Documentation and APIsAll the required APIs had to be developed from scratch.
- <h3>Involvement of Multiple StakeholdersThe project had multiple stakeholders and they had different thoughts over the scope.
