2020: PAthway SaaS Product Launch
PAthway is a SaaS application used by hospitals to manage their prior authorization teams and processes, that integrates with multiple EMRs such as Epic, Cerner Millennium, and Athena.
PAthway enabled hospital staff to efficiently manage all of their patient's pending prior authorizations, prioritze their work, and identify cases that required action immediately.
The product would then allow the user to perform various functions including verifying insurance eligibility for the patient, medical necessity criteria for the payer, Ai selected clinical documents from the EMR, and finally - allow the user to electronically submit the prior authorization directly to the patient's insurance company.

2000 - 2003: WebLink SaaS Product
Another product way ahead of its time I was privileged to work on the development of was IFM's "WebLink" SaaS application which launched in the year 2000. It was a very early web based application designed to allow car dealerships to manage, transport, and purchase wholesale inventory from vehicle remarketers such as GE Capital.
The application, originally hosted at www.goifm.com, ran fully in the cloud through Internet Explorer and provided our users with a dashboard and workflow solution for the lifecycle of transporting, inspecting, negotiating and acquiring vehicles online.
The software application worked in conjunction with the equivalent of a mobile-app, which ran on the Sony VAIO, one of the first miniaturized laptops with an integrated web camera, which was used to take pictures of vehicle condition and damage and upload to the web application.
