Pennsylvania Office of Mental Retardation Consumer Provider Relationship (CPR Screen) You are experiencing… Difficulty resolving provider-entered consumers because there are multiple listings of the same provider name when you try to create a consumer-provider site relationship Confusion about the Service Type dropdown box that originally contained choices of residential or non-residential and was changed to the P/FDS service definitions Invalidated consumer-provider relationships OMR will… Change the CPR screen to capture the Consumer –Provider relationship rather than the Consumer-Provider-Site relationship Automatically associate all consumers who are associated with a provider site to the provider. Remove the Service Type dropdown box from the CPR screen Remove the Setting Size dropdown box from the CPR screen because it will be redundant with a living arrangement dropdown box that will be on future screens County needs to… Continue resolving provider entered consumers by associating them with the correct provider (counties must know the legal name of the provider as it was submitted in HCSIS which may be different from the name they currently use) Impacts Providers will have the ability to eliminate sites without invalidating the consumer- provider relationship Counties will not need to associate a consumer with a provider site, only with the correct provider Changes to HCSIS in effect June 27, 2002
