Managing Enterprise Cases

You can normally view and modify a patient's case only within the practice it was created in. However, you can activate an enterprise-level preference that makes the case available to all practices within the same enterprise. It affects the applications in the following ways: Users in any of the practices in the enterprise can view and modify the case information and attach encounters from the current practice. Even though the cases are enterprise-wide, the encounters are not. The encounters that you can attach are limited to only the encounters within the practice. For example, if you log in to practice A, you cannot attach or detach encounters that belong to practice B. When a case is opened on the Case Management window, the encounters that were attached in other practices display in a list that cannot be modified. A unique case number is assigned to each new case created within a practice. By enabling Enterprise case management, the applications assign enterprise-wide sequential ca

Significant Events Report

The Significant Events report provides an audit trail for specific user activity that has occurred within the NextGen Enterprise applications. These are known as significant events. When a significant event occurs, a message is recorded in each patient's chart. The message includes the name of the user that performed the event, the date/time the event occurred, and both pre-modification and post-modification information. Some significant events are System Level and are recorded for all practices in all enterprises. Other events are Enterprise Level and are recorded for all practices within the same enterprise. Other events are Practice Level and are recorded for the practice(s) in which they have been enabled. Significant Events can be enabled or disabled from the following applications: NextGen® Enterprise PM System Administrator All recorded system-level, enterprise-level and practice-level significant event messages are available for review on the Significant Events report.

Patient Alert Message

A patient alert message displays whenever you access an encounter during the after care period and enter a charge for the service item that has an after care period set. The message displays to help prevent the accidental posting of additional charges during the after care period. In addition, if a service item is entered multiple times on the Charge Entry window in NextGen® Enterprise PM, the after care alert only displays once. When a rendering physician is attached to a service item with an after care period, then the rendering physician's name displays in the after care alert. Note: If a service item is entered multiple times on the Charge Entry window, but each entry has a different service date, then an after care alert displays for each of the entries. The after care days are calculated based on the service date, which is reflected in the after care alert. Parent topic: Set an After Care Period for the SIM
