HARP Migration Update

By , Manager of Software Quality Assurance

Migration Milestone

Quadax has successfully migrated its first HARP client to an HP-UX® computer. HARP is now live on the UNIX® operating system! After 15 months of analysis, programming, testing, and more testing, a smooth migration took place in April.

Quadax is now actively maintaining HARP for multiple operating systems. Included in the migration project, we developed proprietary software in HARP to monitor batch jobs (Show Jobs and Standard List Examiner) and print output (Print Spooler). Documentation for this software exists and is available for clients considering a migration or new clients running on HP-UX® or Windows Server® 2003. Additionally, any changes to HARP as a result of our migration efforts are clearly indicated in the HARP Release Notes.

HARP Add-on Components

HARP Add-on Components are additional features in HARP that can really help to improve your billing operations. These software components are proven to reduce operational expenses, improve compliance, increase billing efficiency, and provide powerful management information. Documentation for the first set of Add-on Components is now available in the HARP User Manual. These components include Deposit Log, Eligibility Verification, Overpayment Processing, Unclaimed Funds, and Work Lists. Documentation for a second set of Add-on Components will be published soon, and it will contain the much anticipated Patient Scheduling system. A complete list of all Add-on Components is also in the manual.

The Add-on Components publication is the next step in providing HARP clients with up-to-date and comprehensive information on HARP. For more information on activating an Add-on Component, please contact a HARP service consultant.
