Now that we have the Patient Info on the Book Appointment screens clients have asked for the ability to add custom information such as the patient's last Well Check or Annual Visit.
Within Admin > Appointment > Schedule Settings:
A new section called 'Patient Info Bookmarks' has been added where a practice can add up to 4 custom bookmark fields that will appear on Patient Info section of the Book Appt screens.
The Text/Email history has been added to all of the Registration tabs (Check In, Check Out, Appointment Prep, Registered Patients) on the lower right hand side.
There are times when more than one Superbill Edit will be applicable to a charge, and the order in which the rules are applied may rely on each other. In order to handle a scenario such as this Superbill Edits Group has been added to Decision Support Admin.
Within Superbill Edits Group Admin a practice can name the group and choose which Rank the Group should be run in.
Then, within Superbill Edit Admin each rule can be added to the Group and given a Rank.
For Example in a scenario when a practice bills Fluoride Varnish (99188) on a Test Code, the CPT code needs to change from 99188 to D1206 for Medicaid. This rule would need to be run first.
Then, according to Medicaid when D0145 is billed they should also be billing D0145. This rule would need to be run second.
The height of the Rx Tool control within Note Template Admin can now be adjusted with a minimum of 80 px.
Within the EHR Admin under Appointments > Schedule Templates users can now create a template with the Department set to Any like is available in the PM.
Additionally, when booking an appointment in the EHR where the Department is set to ANY the Loc/Dept dropdown will be blank, and will require the user to select a Department before the appointment can be booked.
There are times when a provider might need to add their signature to a document that is assigned to a different provider. Now, documents will have Sign As options for the chart item provider and the logged in provider (if they are different). This feature is also available within the PDF Editor where there is now a provider name dropdown where the user can choose which provider signature to add.
If a practice does not want to use this feature or does not want to allow certain roles to have the multi-user sign option there is a new permission called 'Provider Only Signature'. When this is checked on the logged in providers signature would be an option.
TriMed Complete has a robust Immunization Billing Module. Below is a brief overview of how to set up the module and ways to get the most out of it. As always, our support team is eager to help you set up the Advanced Immunization Billing module or help make any necessary edits.
With the 2021 guidelines, the Medical Decision Making elements put a focus on Problem, Data, and Risk related to the work that affects the management of the patient’s condition. TriMed Complete has added a new feature to note templates that allows a clinician to code their encounter based on the new MDM guidelines. TriMed will also continue to make enhancements to incorporate the ability to automatically score the MDM based on information added to the note.
A new permission has been added to not show Interaction Warnings when adding meds. This can be used in a scenario where a clinical user, such as a nurse, is adding a patient's current medications and NOT prescribing any medications. This is not recommended for any user who prescribes meds.
In addition to the Encounter Timer feature that TriMed recently introduced, a new E&M Coder Control for note templates is being introduced. This control allows a provider to select how they are determining their E&M level. Also, the CPT code for the Superbill can be selected from this new control.
