New Employee Listing – TX Possible OIG Exclusions

We have added a new employee listing to HHC3000 called the TX Possible OIG Exclusions, at the request of several of our Texas agencies. The listing will match the employees in HHC3000 against a file that we will be downloading from the Texas OIG (Office of Inspector General) called the OIG exclusions download file, which includes all individuals who have had their professional license revoked. We use the term “possible” because the listing shows employees who have a matching first and last name to the state file, but the state download file that is available has limited information. (We do show on the listing the information that is contained in the state file). The employee that has a match will have to be entered in the OIG online system to see if it is truly a OIG exclusion. The report should save a significant amount of time in that you will not have to enter all HHC3000 employees on line, only those that have a matching first and last name. The listing cannot find matches if the employee name is mispelled.

We will be including the Texas OIG download file with your regular software updates and we plan to retrieve / update this file monthly.

Patient & Employee Screens – ID and Name Changes

Beginning in Version 4660 the id and name fields in the patient and employee screen will be display fields only and will not allow the user to change information in those fields. The fields have a light green background showing that they are read only fields. Just to the right of the middle initial field will be a new button that if pressed will bring up a small screen that will allow you the make changes to the id or name fields. If you do not have security to change the id or name fields, the new button does not appear. We are trying to eliminate the accidental changing of ids and name. In the near future the clinical system will also have the same changes.

ICD9 Code update change

After getting the new ICD9 Code update several agencies have called questioning why the ICD9 Code descriptions have gone to upper case.  To correct this – get version 4656 and then run the ‘Update ICD9/Proc. Codes’ update under Utilties again with a checkmark in the ‘Overwrite current ICD9 descriptions with most recent code descriptions’ checkbox to revert the descriptions to lower case.

New ‘Skip To’ Date option

Available on version 4653 is a new ‘Skip To’ date field on the Patient’s Activity screen.  This field gives you the ability to skip to a specific date in the Patient Activity list so that if you want to look up any activity date in the past you will not have to specifically scroll to that date.
