NEW ADDITIONS Multiple NEW and Enhanced selection Criteria have been added

Issue Manager Access Common Myth:  Issue Manager is ONLY for Vendor Level Users who have attended the PI training in Houston  It is commonly mistaken that Vendor level users who have been to the In-House Practice Insight training are the only ones that should have/use Issue Manager.  Practice Insight wants Issue Manager to be utilized by any Vendor Staff member.  Vendor Staff who have been to PI training receive the ADD Issue permission.  Any Vendor Staff can have the EDIT Issue permission.  USERS SHOULD NOT SHARE LOGINS IT IS A HIPAA VIOLATION.

ADDING A NEW ISSUE 1. Adding a New Issue starts with the same steps Issue Manager users currently use, the NEW Issue button. 2. This will bring up the newly remodeled Creating New Issue Prompt. 3. Enter a brief summary of the Issue you want to report in the Subject. Subject = Claim Rejections Customer #127

ADDING A NEW ISSUE: Process 4. Selecting the correct Process Code is paramount to the issue because if the correct code is selected the information collected in the following steps will allow PI to better assist you. An expanded process list has been added with more controls per process code.

When a Process is chosen the Process Info for Issue form will display with required fields related to the Process.  Forms and Fields will vary based on the Process Code selected! 6.

ADDING A NEW ISSUE: Category  The information from the Additional Information Form entered previously will display in the Process Info field. 7. The Category Field will default based on the selected Process, but can be changed if required.

ADDING A NEW ISSUE: Service Level 8. The Service Level defaults based on the Process which is the most common, but can be changed to match the situation if needed.

ADDING A NEW ISSUE: Additional Contact 9. Additional Contact is a NEW field allowing Users with ADD Issue permissions to select another User to be listed as an additional point of contact for the issue. This will also have the Issue appearing in both members ques.  Both staff members associated on an Issue will receive all s and updates.

ADDING A NEW ISSUE: Edit Process Info for Issue Button  If the Process Info needs to be modified click on “Edit Process Info for Issue” will bring the Form up for editing. This information is only editable until PI have marked the Issue ASSESSED!

ADDING A NEW ISSUE: Assigned To / Process Info  Assigned To will display the Staff or Department assigned to the Issue at PI.  NON-EDITABLE  Process Info here is a DISPLAY ONLY field, to edit the data use the Edit Process Info for Issue button

Optional Processes if further research is required! Allowing to reopen the issue or PI will not see it!

ISSUE STATUSES RED = New and Assessed issues, Assessed Issues have not been given a Plan of Action yet. BLUE = RFI or Resolved issues, NEW to YOU and requesting your attention! A New Response will be required to update the Issue. BLACK = Open or RFIC Issues being worked by PI.
