ProtoHIT is passionate about making a major impact on the workers' compensation industry. They want to help WC clinics improve patient treatment outcomes, cut waste from worker's compensation system and encourage innovation in treatment plans. They have developed and are continuously improving a system that enables outcomes-based medicine to improve patient outcomes from job-related injuries and illnesses. The system provides treatment guidelines through use of protocols that handle the most common WC cases. It facilitates communication between the WC clinics and those they serve, especially self-insured employers. And it tracks all outcomes against treatments used to provide analytics to enable objective tools to provide the best treatment in the future. They believe outcomes-driven treatment modification provides the best methodology for continuous improvement in patient outcomes. The ProtoHIT system was designed as a web-based system (SaaS), making it easy to implement. The clinic only requires a browser and an Internet connection. It was also designed so it could be used with an Apple iPad. They believe the iPad to be an ideal mobile device for occupational nurses, physical therapists and physicians. The ProtoHIT system was developed based on the work of an experienced occupational health physician and his clinic (Dr. Phillip Wagner). ProtoHIT has commercialized his work so that it can be used by any workers' comp clinic. They are working with ACOEM to insure that the protocols stay current.
