Updates, Tid-Bits and Reminders

New Methodist EMR Website:

A new website has been created for Methodist staff to get updates on Cerner information,

training materials, videos and important resources. The website requires computers to have an

updated version of the explorer search engine (9 or above) or Google Chrome. For quick and

easy access, a desktop icon was sent to most computers within the Methodist network which

automatically launches the website using Google Chrome.

Look for tips in this newsletter where to access information on the website. If you have any questions, please call

your Cerner Support team at 354-6990.

ICD-10 Implementation for Providers:

In preparation for the implementation of ICD 10 coding system that will go into effect on October 1, 2015,

Methodist Health System is requiring an ICD 10 diagnosis code at the time of scheduling for any procedure to

be done after October 1, 2015 (i.e. Surgical, Diagnostic, PT, OT, Lab).

To aid in proper code selection, the Cerner Diagnosis Assistant tool has been implemented in the EMR. This tool

will automatically launch when providers select a diagnosis to add to an order which is dated for completion

after 10-1-15. This tool will walk the provider through the various determinations needed to establish the proper

ICD-10 code, i.e. laterality, new encounter vs. subsequent, acute vs. chronic, etc. A training video is available

on the Methodist EMR Website for more information. Physicians are encouraged to view the training material

and familiarize themselves with this tool.

NOTE: Due to increased specificity in the new code set, many of the old codes will map to unspecified codes.

We have received communication from payers that use of unspecified codes may result in delays in payment,

increase in requests for documentation and denials. For that reason, the use of unspecified codes is strongly

discouraged.

The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) has produced specialty specific online training modules

that will be required for physicians, midlevel providers and some staff. These modules take approximately 3

hours and address the needed changes in documentation as well as proper code selection. It is imperative

that along with the proper diagnosis code selection, the documentation support the code description. In some

codes, this is simplified. For example, diabetes is coded by type, no longer requires controlled or uncontrolled

and one code may represent the diabetes and the complication. Unfortunately, that doesn’t hold true in other

areas, i.e. A-Fib (427.31 in ICD-9) now has 5 options in ICD-10. The complete narrative of the diagnosis code will

be necessary in the documentation to support code selection.

You can access the Methodist EMR Website using the new desktop link or go to www.methodistemr.com :

Updates, Tid-Bits and Reminders (cont.)

MHS Employees – Are you signed up for the Portal?:

As members of a health care organization, we have a unique opportunity and obligation to use the online

patient portal that will empower us to become more active participants in our own health care and wellness.

As a bonus, we will gain the familiarity to easily explain the portal’s use and benefits to our patients,

empowering them.

Increased patient portal participation, one of many nationwide goals established for meaningful use of health

care technology, also yields increased reimbursement from the government for the care provided in our

hospitals and clinics. It’s a triple win that benefits us, our patients and Methodist’s bottom line.

This online tool, called my.Bestcare, empowers you to:

Get answers from and exchange updates with your care team by email.

Make and manage medical appointments.

Request prescription refills.

Keep your contact information up to date.

View your health information 24/7: medications, allergies, immunizations, recent office visits, most lab results.

Eliminate phone tag and unnecessary office visits.

Be better prepared to make the most of face-to-face visits with your care providers.

Manage medical appointments and health information for your minor children (or adult loved ones, with

their permission).

Do not miss out on the convenience and many benefits of my.Bestcare. As an employee, you can choose the

option you prefer to get started right away:

Sign up at your MHS care provider's office (ID required).

Call MPC Support at (402) 354-5410.

Stop at any MHS patient registration desk and ask to sign up for my.Bestcare.

There is even a Patient Portal App Available for Apple Devices!:

Please share with all patients and employees – a new app is available on Apple devices called HealtheLife that

allows access to the Patient Portal on your Apple smartphones, iPads or other Apple devices.

Sign in with your

my.bestcare.org

username and

password

If you have children

or multiple accounts,

this app allows

access to all of them

from this one location.

IMPORTANT: MPC Scanning Outside Documents Reminders

It is very important that documents are scanned to the correct document type, the correct encounter for your

clinic/department, and to the correct date. Separating out all the specific documents and scanning them

individually may seem time consuming, however for the care of the patient, it is vital that this information is

entered into the patient chart as carefully and appropriately as possible. Over the last year there have been a

number of changes with document types because of Health Maintenance, HealtheRegistries and Meaningful

Use requirements.

It is extremely important that outside documentation be scanned to the appropriate specific document types

as much as possible and not all grouped under ‘Outside Record’ like they once were. Some document types

fall under different ‘Review’ tabs, help satisfy Health Maintenance, Meaningful Use, or other necessary criteria

within the patient’s medical record.

Below are some examples of document types that help our providers and Health Coaches monitor patient

care. There are a number of other document types available (including specialty consults). For a complete list,

please reference the MPC-EMR Document Scanning List on the Methodist EMR Website.

Bronchoscopy Bronchoscopy results, photos and related pathology - regardless of source (scan in color)

IMPORTANT: MPC Scanning Outside Documents Reminders (cont.)

NOTE: Because of the number of changes that occur with document types, we strongly recommend that staff

no longer set up ‘Personal Document Lists’ in Clinical Notes, as this can lead to missed document types and

scanning to incorrect document type locations. The MPC-EMR Document List is updated as these changes

occur so please watch for new versions periodically on the Methodist EMR Website.

Below are some examples of other document types that Coding, Business office staff, Insurance auditors etc.

often need to find. These need to be scanned consistently by all staff to the appropriate document type so

they are easy to find when necessary for legal or financial reasons.

ABN/Waiver Advanced Beneficiary Notices signed by patient (e.g. Non-Medicare waiver of liability forms and/or Medicare Waiver of Liability forms) NOTE: If scanned in by registration application, it needs to be scanned into both locations, it needs to be part of the medical record.

Coding Corner

How to Fix MAR Documentation

This guide will show you how to edit the MAR in cases where it was filled out incorrectly. Filled out incorrectly

could mean missing one of the key elements needed to bill or one of the selections marked with the wrong

information.

Editing the MAR: It is very important that you get the MAR window EVERY TIME you make changes on

med/vaccine documentation. To edit the MAR you need to Right-Click the dose box

and select Modify. Do not use the other boxes.

IMPORTANT: We absolutely need all of the boxes filled out to bill the

med/vaccine successfully. A lot of what is entered in these fields drop

directly on the claim. It takes special access to edit the MAR which only

clinical staff have, any fixes HAVE to come back to the clinic.

DOSE: This drops a CPT code directly

to coding queues for the coders.

**For vaccines you will need to choose

the correct VFC or NON VFC dose

based on the patient’s age and

insurance.

**If the specific dose isn’t available

choose the dose right above what

you gave and you can comment as

such.

Admin: Fill in how the product was

given.

NDC: This populates the claim with the

NDC number for billing.

NDC Quantity: Think of this as how

many times you are using the NDC

number. ALWAYS 1.

NDC Units: This is the unit of measure.

(Most of the time it is mL)

Waste: Document any waste you

have in this box.

*If you have a discontinued med that wasn’t

ever documented on, you can right-click on the

highlighted box to the right and select

“Additional Dose” this will open a MAR window

for you to add the required documentation.

Just remember to change the Performed Date at

the top to the appropriate date of service.

General Training information for MPC Clinic Managers:

When a request for training is received, a “Training Request form” will be sent to the manager. This form will contain the information needed by MPC Support to set up the user for Powerchart. Once a training date and time are arranged, a Microsoft Outlook meeting request will be e-mailed to you and each trainee, indicating the training time, location, training information, etc. The trainer assigned may be contacting you to obtain necessary information for training set up & materials.

Please request Cerner & Network sign-ons for new employees in advance. NOTE: It is extremely important that you do not give the Trainee this information prior to him/her being properly trained on how to navigate our patients’ medical records. Karen Rau will request sign ons for all Providers, Midlevels, Residents and students. Clinic managers will request sign ons for other staff.

Reminder: Include the Pools and Proxy information under the appropriate sections of the Sign On request form so they have access to what they need in message center.

TRANSFER Employees: To make sure employees who transfer from one department to another are set up and/or trained properly be sure to fill out the ‘User Information Section’ and mark this area appropriately.

Resident/Student Training: Send request for training to Karen Rau. She will request sign-ons.
