We have had several calls lately asking when we were going to update the PECOS search utility we put out on the Internet. We are no longer supporting the tool on the Internet. Instead, the PECOS search can be performed within HHC3000 in the Doctors screen. The process will involve two steps, retrieving the PECOS file from the Internet and then updating the Doctors file with the downloaded PECOS file.
Within the Doctors screen there is a new button called “Get PECOS”. That button will allow you to download the PECOS file from the Internet. Once downloaded, a “Post” button will appear next to the “Get PECOS” button. Below this button will show the most recent PECOS file date. If you press the “POST” button, HHC3000 will go through each doctor in your file and search for a match in the PECOS file. Three fields on the Doctors screen will be updated for each doctor. First, the PECOS search date will be updated. Second, a PECOS status field will be updated showing either found or not found. Last, the name of the physician found in PECOS will appear in the PECOS name match field. The posting does not take very long.
We also have changed the Physician’s listing to incorporate these changes.
