Tackling Duplicate Medical Records in NextGen
Posted by
Guest Bloggers: Sarah Cordell & Valerie Lux on Apr 26, 2023 12:32:04 PM
What's the Big Deal?
Duplicate medical records can greatly impact end users struggling to identify the correct chart to use while documenting within a patient chart. These examples include but are not limited to compromising patient safety (ie: medications/allergies), creating unnecessary gaps in care, discrepancies in medical information available to the patient on their own patient portal, inaccurate patient statements/balances, challenges in detailed population health management review/ data analysis, and reimbursement.

Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Program Attestation
We are just a quarter away from the end of 2021, and deadlines for the Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Attestation for 2021 are quickly approaching. Do not miss out on incentive payments from showing adoption, implementation, upgrades, or meaningful use of certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is dedicated to improving interoperability and patient access to health information. Each state may have different requirements for attestation deadlines for the final reporting year ranging from July to October 2021. For any specific questions surrounding those deadlines, we encourage reaching out to your respective state EHR Incentive program administrator.

The daily update to the National Drug Code Directory likely causes a headache for many practices. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Drug products are identified and reported using a unique, three-segment number called the National Drug Code (NDC), which serves as a universal product identifier for drugs. The NDC Library in NextGen is used to define the information needed by payers on claims in Practice Management for drug related CPT/HCPCS codes.
