Patients

The patient is assigned to a specific company and service branch; the system provides tracking for multiple branches and companies.

The patient's most recently measured height and weight are displayed in both metric and non-metric units with the date the measurements were taken. The age is calculated from the birthdate; the surface area is calculated from the height and weight using parameters set by the system administrator.

The patient delivery instructions with map code are printed on the delivery report. Language is an optional free form text field that can be used to indicate, for example, that a patient may speak only a foreign language. The reimbursement code can be used to designate reimbursement personnel assigned to this patient. Management reports track the performance by reimbursement code, and aging reports help the reimbursement staff focus efforts where they are most needed.

Patient Caregiver

This screen allows entry of names of people associated in some way with the patient's care. The patient relation block is scrollable to show multiple possible caregivers, relatives, or neighbors.

When entering a new patient's information you can easily add a new physician, hospital, referral source, nursing agency, nurse, or claim center at the same time. For example, during selection of the physician just enter in the new physician information and select it back into the patient screen. All associated information will be automatically filled in, such as name and phone. This does not require moving through a menu tree, but is available through all lookups directly from the field.

Patient Medical

Basic patient medical information such as height and weight measurements, diagnoses, drug and non-drug allergies, and a plain-text medical history are stored and referenced in reports throughout the system. Patient medical information is continued on the next screen page (not shown).

An interface to Medi-Span is used for drug interaction checking, allergy/prior adverse reaction checking, drug-disease checking, duplicate therapy, drug dosage checking, compliance checking, patient drug education and patient counseling. Drug allergy reaction on-set and drug allergy symptoms are tracked for Medi-Span. Symptom types tracked include skin, shock, asthma, nausea, anemia and other with space for description. Hint text for each field is provided at bottom of screen.

Durable Medical Equipment Items

DME items are tracked by serial number, and a history of all movements from one location to another is maintained in inverse time order; the current location is displayed at the top.

DME reports show items tracked by item and location. Numerous parameters are available on the tracking reports allowing, for example, listing by DME type, which items are rented from vendors, items with upcoming biomed checks, or out to a location or patient.

Aged Trial Balance

This is a typical print parameter screen.

Reports print only the data matching the entered parameters. Any combination of parameters can be specified. For example, an aged trial balance report sorted by patient could select only for patients with a specific claim center who had service within a particular date range. A simple blank in any parameter indicates "all" for that parameter.

Inventory Menu

Perpetual inventory is supported by purchase order and receiving functions which increment inventory, and sales order and shipping functions which decrement inventory. Inventory counts are tracked by company, service branch, location (warehouse or other consignment location) and lot. Inventory adjustments can be made by users with sufficient access authority to account for items which are broken, etc..
