Unfortunately Dewayne Wilson did not understand that Tricia Lowe expected him to keep records on pieces of paper and Tricia Lowe did not understand that Dewayne Wilson does not write down anything he can create a program to do better.

Easy to navigate, tablet–friendly and fully redesigned, WISEware® is proud to announce the launch of its new website, WISE-ware.com
WISEware's web site launch is the occasion to introduce several new WISEware applications and the migration of existing applications to a tablet–friendly platform.
NEW ORLEANS— October 3, 2011
WISEware has launched its brand new company website and begun their migration toward tablet –friendly applications. Navigation is designed for the tablet interface, using application icons and common gestures like multi–touch swipes and pinches. Despite the end product's similarities, the changes to the WISEware web site and applications are not designed as native apps for the iPad or another tablet. Instead, WISEware intends to leverage the popularity of tablets to immediately deliver tablet-optimized experiences to our users.
The redesigned site reflects the company’s new direction. Dewayne Wilson, owner of WISEware, describes his enthusiasm with the new website: "I am very pleased with the new look and feel of www.WISE–ware.com… As we continue giving consumers workable solutions to the production and reporting dilemmas the healthcare industry faces every day, www.WISE–ware.com will play a vital role in our business strategy, not only with our valued clients, but with new clients looking for collection agency performance analysis, company–wide accounts receivable tracking and report distribution alternatives."
The launch of the new website is also the occasion for WISEware to introduce new products that have been released over this past year or are newly available. These include:
WISEart® tracks in–house accounts receivables to help hospitals/physician practices identify cases that may result in bad debt or charity care write-offs.
WISEcast allows clients to send information to literally hundreds, or thousands, of users without creating bandwidth demand or disrupting business–important applications.
WISEops® for the web will launch in early 2012. Using automated loading of your facility's HCA Patient Accounting, SMART and General Ledger systems, WISEops integrates financial and operating results across organizational levels—drilling down into reports from summary (i.e. group) level to division, hospital, and even department level.
WISEpac™ decentralizes data entry and implements a system that creates transaction lines without ever typing a semicolon. WISEpac includes a convenient, secure application for distribution of daily mainframe reports and the ability to correct billing edits so you can get claims out the door in a timely manner.

WISEscriptSM Used by Tulane University Medical Group to Post Medicaid RA's
Tulane University Medical Group uses WISEscript to post adjustments to Medicaid Remittance Advices (RA’s) in the Tulane IDX system through keystroke emulation.
NEW ORLEANS— October 12, 2010
The Tulane University Medical Group (TUMG), the Physician’s Practice Plan at Tulane Medical Center, purchased and is using the WISEscript application to read a text file and through keystroke emulation post adjustments to Medicaid Remittance Advices (RA’s) in the Tulane IDX system.
Earlier in the summer, Medicaid did a recapture and TUMG had to credit every Medicaid payment and contractual allowance posted for the previous fifteen (15) months and re-post them with the correct amount. Unfortunately their IDX system was not capable of performing the task. One option, briefly considered, was to hire and train temporary staff to key adjustments.
The WISEscript application, run in multiple sessions saved TUMG approximately 400 man hours in the first month of implementation.

WISEware® Awarded Contract for Data Interface Between HCA and Sutter Health Enterprise Warehouse
WISEware is awarded a consulting services contract for creating a data extract and SQL database with a Windows service for scheduling jobs and transmitting data from San Leandro Hospital's HCA legacy system to the Sutter Health Enterprise Warehouse (SHEW).
SAN LEANDRO— February 26, 2009
WISEware is pleased to announce the signing of a consulting services contract with Sutter Health, a network of doctors and hospitals in Northern California, for a data interface between the HCA legacy system and the Sutter Health Enterprise Warehouse (SHEW) for their San Leandro facility. San Leandro Hospital, purchased by The Eden Township Healthcare District from Triad Hospitals, Inc. in 2004 was leased to Eden Medical Center, an affiliate of the not-for-profit Sutter Health network. The hospital runs on the HCA Patient Accounting system and is supported by HCA’s IT&S organization.
The WISEware project will begin with a technical GAP analysis between San Leandro’s HCA Patient Accounting system and SHEW’s data repository specifications. Once all data elements are identified and agreed upon, data extract files will be created from the San Leandro system and back loaded into the SHEW. A complete data validation process will follow.
Dewayne Wilson of WISEware will design, code, and test a Windows service to:
- Monitor a designated folder (or folders) for receipt of a data file
- Read files as they arrive and load data into a SQL Server database
- Generate a weekly file containing new/updated data in the appropriate format for import into SHEW
- Transmit weekly file(s) to SHEW via FTP
Additionally, a web application for user maintenance of crosswalks will be built and balancing and reconciliation reports to ensure data integrity will be written. As a go-forward process, WISEware intends to build a periodic database purge process for old closed accounts in order to minimize database storage requirements.
“This project is just one example of the WISEware team’s unique ability to bring our years of healthcare experience to a multitude of critical, yet sometimes obscure, areas in the healthcare world,” according to Leigh Wilson, project manager at WISEware. “We are excited to have this opportunity to work with the corporate team at Sutter and to help them solve their data interface issues.”

NEW ORLEANS—February 10, 2006
Seeing a doctor, even for the most routine problem, has never been more difficult. But, thanks to a web application Dewayne Wilson, of Wilson Interests, LLC began building on his laptop at the dining room table of a friend in Louisville, KY, last October, Tulane nurses are able to reunite patients and physicians in clinics throughout the southeast.
Tulane created the call center in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to answer patient calls for a variety of healthcare issues, from prescription refills to missed clinic appointments. Staffed with nurses, the call center managers needed an efficient solution for recording temporary contact information for patients and managing workflows. The web application built by Wilson Interests permits the routing of requests to queues based on the type of action required, with management reports for number of calls, types of calls and how issues were resolved.
According to a New Orleans Times-Picayune article, The Doctor is Out on February 8, the Category 3 hurricane created the biggest migration of doctors in the United States since the 1940s, when the World War II draft siphoned thousands of health-care workers from the nation's economy. Thomas Ricketts, deputy director for policy analysis at the University of North Carolina's Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research said, "as many as 4,486 doctors, including 1,270 residents training at local hospitals, evacuated from Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes."
When Katrina punched through the city's levees, Tulane's downtown campus was swamped with 1 1/2 feet of water. Since then, the physicians and staff have operated in temporary locations in Metairie, Covington, and throughout Louisiana. The downtown campus is expected to reopen on Tuesday, February 14, 2006 with a limited number of inpatient beds and clinic services. The hospital will be the first downtown hospital to reopen since the storm.
