Blue Wave Data LLC, a web applications developer based in Connecticut, has introduced the newest version of it’s M.E. Fieldware System, a Coroner case management system that helps Coroners and Medical Examiners manage their caseload on the Web.
We gave this system a top rating last year when it was initially introduced. The newest version is written in PHP 5 and is married to a robust MySQL 4+ database. Unlike the initial version where images were uploaded as binary files into the database, this one features directory based file uploads for images and forensic documents that are appended to individual cases thus making an already fast system even faster.
The new version includes 15 addendum reports that cover the gamut from Air Crashes to Work Related Deaths. Documents are all generated in .pdf format and, like the initial version, Death Certificates can be populated and generated on-the-fly. The system allows image uploads directly from the digital camera in the field, as well as file uploads for drawings and forensic files. This new version of M.E. Fieldware also does real-time statistics, billing, cremation authorization, and just about everything else a Coroner/Medical Examiner could wish for in a Case Management System. It is by far the best Coroner Case Management System we’ve seen and certainly leaves it’s .NET based competitors in the dust.
The M.E. Fieldware system is deployed on a secure Linux based server and is available on a year-to-year subscription based account for an annual fee that we’re told is less than $3,000 dollars.

This follows along the trend where php is outperforming .net in processing speed online. Blue Wave Data has had another case management system for parole and probation agencies that’s been out for two years and it’s just now beginning to get the attention it deserves.
Obviously, this must be one of the companies you mentioned that have been laying “in the weeds” with good software waiting for the market to catch up to them.
Nice work!

We’ve been using the demo now for the last week and a half. I was happy to see that it’s much faster and more reliable than the last program we had (FF). Not only is this a better program, it costs $7000 less a year! Live and learn… It’s very easy to use right from the start, it performed flawlessly in the field, every one of our deputies voted for it (even the ones that don’t like computers!!!). Two thumbs up.
