CREDIT
1. The Pre-Study Listing Report now allows for Sorting by Hospital, and includes Summary Totals capability including Pie Chart. This same report also will summarize Patient Investigators including Pie Chart.
2. There is a new Patient Billing Compliance Processing module. It all begins with File Operations, and Edit Agents, Edit Labs, Edit Activities, Edit Financials. For each item "Mammogram", there is a new checkbox for "Send to Billing". For Labs, as an example, use the SHOW EXISTING FILE link such that all of the checkboxes are available on one page. The Next Step is to go into one of the Studies that you want this new feature to work on. The upper right corner of the Protocol Data Page has a check box for: "Enable Patient Events to be 'Sent to Billing' [ ]". Checking that box and saving, enables patient calendars to display the Radio Buttons described below. If the box remains Unchecked, no Radio Buttons will appear on the Patient Calendar Check-off page.
Checking the box flags Patient Calendars so when the Completed checkbox is shown, there are 3 new Radio Button Options to select:
UNKNOWN
SOC
RESEARCH
By Completing the event (checkbox) and selecting the Billing Category, the event will appear in a new report: Billing Compliance Processing. The report allows the Billing Specialist to set Date Ranges, Departments, and "Unprocessed Only", "Already Processed", or "Both". There are a variety of Columns to Include available.
When the report is generated, each patient calendar event can then be managed per "Compliance Date", "SOC vs. Research", "Notes", and a checkbox to denote the event is ready for Billing. An Email Module is included such that Completed Billing Entries will have that data sent (Outlook) to selected staff. All of the details of each processed event are included in the email.
