Q&A

Q: I have heard that the transition to V11.4 will include a configuration step to rebuild our queries. Do you know if this is true?

A: Yes, this is correct. Your diagnosis that was used in V11.2 was based on pulling ICD9 terms. We must now base these queries on ICD10 IMO terms to correctly query your database once you are on V11.4. There are a few places where this type of configuration must take place. For example, all Assessment forms that are built using ICD9 terms must now be rebuilt using IMO terms.

Q: Is there a way to create a list of patients that have been prescribed a medication that has been recalled?

A: Most recalls from the FDA need immediate attention, namely those that are Class I drugs that would entail setting up a simple query based on prescription data alone. This would return any patient, seen by any provider and will return a list of patients that you can notify easily. Including their phone number in the query results and assigning this list to a nurse to follow up with these patients, would be very efficient. The medication detail in the clinical rules editor even will let you further the criteria down to the strength to further define the drug you are looking for.

Q: Is there a limit of providers that you can include in your queries, i.e appts under a number of providers?

A: No, there is not a limit to this particular category.
