AirLogix Rolls Out New Technology For Managing Chronic Respiratory Disease Programs and Members

(Dallas, TX, February 4, 2003) AirLogix, the pioneer in respiratory disease management, announced that it has implemented a new integrated information system for managing its chronic respiratory disease management programs. The new system, called AirWorx, has been in development for over three years and impacts many aspects of the disease management company's operation.

AirWorx replaces the current information system, RDM, and represents an entirely new system that's been built from the ground up to accommodate greater capacity and optimum operational efficiencies. AirWorx expands the patient record and processing capacity 10-fold over the previous system.

The fully integrated AirWorx system is designed to more effectively collect, track and present complete detail on a participant's health and progress through the various care programs, said Susan B. Riley, President of AirLogix

"AirWorx allows us to provide data more quickly, reliably and thoroughly which ensures better care, better customer relationships and better operational efficiencies," said Riley

The core of the AirWorx system is a member-level workflow engine which moves members through the disease management programs based on rules established by the customer while still providing AirLogix' clinicians a significant latitude in making personalized decisions that are best for the care of the member.

"AirWorx is the result of a solid understanding of the needs of our customers, providers and care givers," said Riley. "The system represents the best thinking in the disease management industry, our years of respiratory experience and a focus on the uniqueness of treating chronic respiratory diseases."

AirLogix is the industry's leading expert and resource for comprehensive respiratory disease management. Since 1994, AirLogix has managed more than 300,000 patient lives specializing in respiratory ailments including asthma and COPD. With a focus on high-touch care and high-tech systems, the company provides innovative programs that are flexible to meet the diverse needs of the managed care organizations providing assistance in managing chronic respiratory diseases and reducing medical costs.
