PONTE VEDRA, Fla., — MDI Healthcare Solutions, based in Ponte Vedra, Florida announced today that the second-generation E.A.R.L.® , part of the MDI Analytics Suite, will be featured in the keynote address at Microsoft’s MIX10, The Next Web Now Conference in Las Vegas on Monday, March 15^th. (http://live.visitmix.com) The MDI Analytics Suite is a collection of practical data visualization and analytics solutions for the complex healthcare environment. E.A.R.L.® (Empowered Analysis and Reporting Log) was created with Microsoft Silverlight, a browser plug-in that powers rich interactive experiences through Web, desktop and mobile applications.

“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.
