Greenway 17.30 Improvements
Expected release: Late February / Early March 2016
Updates based on 11,680 points of Ideas on the Greenway Community.
ICD-10 Additions:
- Prenatal flow sheets now has ICD-10 column and enhanced search options.
- Added primary and secondary codes (code pairs) showing new icons for diagnosis code searching
- An “m” will show next to the diagnosis code, indicating that there are more specific codes under the general ICD-10 code.
- A number in a box will appear next to the diagnosis code showing how many further specified ICD-10 codes are related to that general ICD-10 code
- Code pairs will allow visibility to the related ICD-9 / ICD-10 codes
- Using code icons below, code pairs will be visible while ordering labs and tests.
- Codes pairs will also be visible in assessment and plan.
- Ability to undo diagnosis code mapping
- As codes become more familiar, you can undo the mapping to a general ICD-10 code and select a more specified code in the assessment.
- More specific codes available in template admin.
- “m+” and the number within the box will allow drilling down to choose the correct specified code.
- Code Mapper streamlined for ICD-10 mapping
- Diagnosis quick search will show codes for ICD-9 and ICD-10, with visual indicators for codes with a higher specificity.
- Ability to “free text” in the code mapper has been removed to lessen errors on claims.
Immunization Enhancements:
- Immunization enhancements to comply with state registry standards
- Dose amount is now separate from unit of measurement.
- When a dose amount is entered, the unit of measurement is mandatory.
- For recorded doses, dose amount is optional.
- Funding source is now available with recorded doses
- This field can be enabled or disabled based on state requirements.
- Funding sources can be selected from a provided list or an “Other” option is available.
- Immunization refusal
- Immunization refusal information required for some states.
- When the “Refused” option is taken on the immunization, there is now a “Refusal Reason” that will appear.
- Reasons can be chosen from a hardcoded list.
- This can be set as a required field under System Settings > Chart Default.
- NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) field added to Insurance Company and Insurance Plan.
- Depends on state registries’ requirements.
Practice Enhancements:
- Collections Worklist
- There is now a “Select All” option to update all collections with an action.
- Has the ability to filter on more information and new flags; codes and flags can also be excluded from search results.
- Information available for how many statements went out to the patient before and during collections.
- Patients can now be marked as Inactive
- This will bring up a patient inactivation dialog that asks for the inactivation reason and effective date.
- If “Duplicate” is chosen as inactivation reason, it will have you select the duplicated patient and label which is active and which is inactive.
- Patient is marked as inactive when they are labeled as deceased.
- Any patients that are marked as deceased at the time of the upgrade to 17.30 will automatically be marked as inactive.
- When a patient is marked deceased, options are given to cancel all upcoming appointments, requests, recalls, and reminders.
- Patient Search: Updates for patient, person, or demographics searches
- Phone field is added to search that will search all phone numbers provided in patients’ demographics (ex: Work, Cell, Home)
- Phone number entered in Patient Search to Add New patient will automatically be save as the Home number and Primary phone fields.
- Maiden name now available as a patient search field.
- Inactive patients can be included/excluded using the icon upper right hand corner.
- National Drug Code on Superbill
- Using a procedure that has NDC information will show NDC information on superbill.
- It will open fields for NDC quantity, and allow for NDC information to be edited and sent to charges screen.
- Adding Document Status on Patient List
- This helps to know which notes have been authenticated, and will show providers which notes they still need to look at.
- Document status available as a filter in the patient list.
- Document statuses – Authenticated (Provider has viewed/signed), In Progress (Open but not signed by provider), and Multiple (There are multiple documents that the provider needs to review).
- Diagnosis Description in Orders Requisition
- The diagnosis description is now able to be viewed from Orders Requisition.
- Auto-Calculate Icon for Surescripts eRx
- Enabled by clicking icon next to “Duration” in Prescribe New Medication Screen, prior to putting in the Dispense, Primesuite will calculate the Duration for you.
- Sig must be very specific; this will not function if the Sig uses PRN, As Needed, As Directed, etc., or if the instructions have been modified.
- Medicare PPS Combo Claims
- Two claims in PrimeSuite can be combined to one claim.
- In CHC Settings, Allow Combo Claims can be checked off and a “Days to Hold Claims” field will determine how many days to wait for a secondary claim before submitting the first claim.
- In Claim Processing, the claim submission modal will show which claims will be combined and these can also be edited to separate the claims that were marked as Combo claims.
