EM Bullet ID - Field Mapping

The EM BULLET ID -FIELD MAPPING or Page 2 (Mapping) maps the EM Coding Bullet ID to a specific field on template. If any of the mapped fields are documented during an encounter, the EM Bullet ID is tallied with other bullets. A total tally of all documented bullets is shown on the EM History template. If new templates are added, or if existing templates are customized, and they contain HPI, or physical exam fields, the fields need to be mapped using Page 2 (Mapping) section of the E&M Bullets and Field Mapping template to be included in the EM calculation. For HPI’s, it is recommended that you use an existing HPI template as your starting point to minimize the need for EM mappings. For the history fields, it is recommended that you share the radio buttons and doc gen hidden fields from Master_IM onto your new template. By doing so, no additional mappings are needed.

Evaluation and Management Codes

The E&M Bullets and Field Mapping system template enables you to create and manage Evaluation and Management (EM) codes within the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine. This includes adding and modifying an EM type, bullet ID, EM field maps, and EM table list. The data configured on the E&M Bullets and Field Mapping system template is used to calculate the Evaluation and Management Code. The system is packaged with preconfigured values for the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine content, where applicable.

EM Field Maps Section

The EM FIELD MAPS or Page 3 (Fields) displays a list of all mappings for all fields in a table. This section enables you to: Add multiple bullet IDs to one field. For example, select the Globally Normal check box where multiple elements are selected by selecting that field. Set a specific value - Some fields must only get a point if the field has a specific value in that field. An example of this is a picklist that has multiple elements. Each item in the picklist could be set up as a specific value to be mapped to a unique bullet ID.

EM Coding Bullets Data Grid

The description of fields listed in the EM CODING BULLETS data grid are: Field Description EM Type The HPI, ROS, History, and Exam Types EM System The category or organ/body system categorization for the specified EM type Description The exact bullet description from the CMS Guidelines EM Bullet ID The unique bullet ID name given to the description Note: : The bullet ID numbering does not necessarily correspond to the order in which the bullets are listed in the CMS Guidelines. The same bullet ID can be used for more than one EM Type. However, the descriptions and corresponding template fields must be exactly the same for all of the EM Types using the same bullet ID. By default, all exams listed in the CMS Guidelines are included when the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine is shipped. Parent topic: EM Coding Bullets

Add New EM Coding Bullets

If the CMS Guidelines change or additional EM types are needed, NextGen Healthcare makes updates to the E&M Bullets and Field Mapping template in subsequent releases. If modifications or additions are to be made to the information found on this template, the following instructions describe how to make these changes. On the E&M Bullets and Field Mapping system template, access the EM CODING BULLETS section. To add a new EM coding bullet, do one of the following: In the Edit Fields grid, add a new row by manually entering the data or selecting the options from the drop-down arrows in the edit fields above the grid. Click the Add button. Note: The Add button is visible only when you add information in the fields. The new row appears in the data grid. Add a new row by editing a similar item already listed in the data grid and adding the edited information to the data grid: Select the applicable row in the grid. The Edit Fields found above the data grid populate with the corresponding data.
