Case Study: ISB accelerates healthcare reimbursement validation with Progress Corticon

ISB builds Fine Rezept 30% faster with Progress Corticon

ISB, an information services company in Japan, faced the challenge of automating the complex and manual process for healthcare providers to submit reimbursement requests under Japan's universal health coverage program. The system involved over 4,000 intricate rules, and manual processing often led to delayed payments. To address this, ISB partnered with Progress Software and utilized the Progress Corticon business rules engine to build an accurate and efficient solution.

The solution, a cloud-based system named Fine Rezept, was developed using Progress Corticon. This allowed ISB to build the application about 30% faster than with other business rules engines. The results included automated invoice validation that dramatically sped up payments for providers and allowed non-programmers to manage rule changes, leading to an anticipated 20% savings in system maintenance costs for ISB.
