DRV FlexTools Case Study: Midwest Health System Data Center

DRV FlexTools help small, rural hospitals control costs and save thousands of man-hours / dollars per year. DRV Technologies’ software generates electronic medical forms and archives Siemens MedSeries 4 financial reports on the IBM i platform.

Overview: Switching report management software saves money and yields additional benefits

Sometimes, an ending is just the beginning of a better solution. That’s what Ken Abendshien, Director of Information Systems at Midwest Health System Data Center (MHSDC), discovered when his forms management software vendor announced it would no longer support the IBM i platform.

Because the IBM i is cost-effective for the small, rural hospitals that MHSDC serves, Abendshien was determined to find a software replacement that would deliver the same features, yet would promise continued support of the IBM i (i5, iSeries, AS/400).

Abendshien was pleased to find that DRV Technologies’ FormFlex software was more cost-effective than their previous software vendor. He also discovered the benefits of DRV’s SpoolFlex software for archiving IBM i reports and distributing them to multiple locations via PDF. Both software solutions address MHSDC’s unique needs for routing and report formats.
