mtSchedule Webinar
Tracy Hinkley from Spurwink gave 16 attendees an opportunity to see what mtSchedule looks like straight out of the box and then with some enhancements made through her custom uScripts today in the most recent of the NUG sponsored webinars.
NUG plans to offer at least one webinar each month (more if we can find enough willing presenters!).
These sessions are available to all NUG members. The notifications and invitations will be posted on the list serve. If you are reading this and have NOT signed up to participate on the list serve ... you are missing out on lots of good information!
I challenge everyone who presented at this year's Connections conference to sign up to present their same session via webinar. If you survived presenting live and in person and since you already have your session complete, please consider donating one more hour of your time to a worthy cause.
If you would be willing to present or if you have a topic you would like to see presented, please email me at dcoulter@fmrs.org.
Thanks!
Deb

IRMS Enhancement 3/27/09
The following describes the newest IRMS enhancement from Netsmart dated 3/27/09.
IRMS Document Bundling Enhancement
What is IRMS?
The acronym stands for Integrated Records Management System. It stores and manages images associated with your clients, staff, contracts, or any CMHC/MIS database. If you're using eCET, IRMS is the foundation of your electronic medical record.
How do documents get into IRMS?
There are multiple ways to add documents to IRMS:
High volume batch scanning with Ascent Capture
Point-of-Service (POS) scanning
POS file import
eCET snapshots (image of the data you just entered on the eCET form)
Your custom uScripts
Word Processing Interface (WPI)
What is document bundling?
Previously, every document was stored as a separate file which made maintenance activities like backups and restores quite difficult. The March 30, 2009 enhancement being released changes that storage structure by grouping (bundling) multiple files into indexed files.
What are the benefits?
The main purpose is to make backups/restores easier and faster. Many customers have reported problems in this area.
What are the steps to get started?
Download and install the March 2009 IRMS patches.
In MISADM, run the IRMSINST function.
Review the following functions in the IRMS manual, chapter 13:
IRMSAUDIT - Auditing the IRMS Databases
IRMSBUNDLE - IRMS Document Bundle
Decide when to convert your previously stored documents. It's quite likely you have a large volume of documents so it's best that you do the conversion at little at a time. For example, you may want to convert a year of documents each night until you're finished.
While it's OK to have users on the system during the conversion(s); it's best to do this during your off hours (or when the system activity level is lower). The IRMSBUNDLE includes an option to set the date and time to start the process.
Complete the implementation steps outlined in the documentation.
While the bundling conversion isn't immediately required, all future IRMS enhancements will be built upon the bundled structure, including the IRMS Archive & Delete project.

Accounts Receivable Updates
As a result of a joint effort between NUG's AR Committee and Netsmart, there have been a number of enhancements to the AR program in the MIS within the past few months. Some of those enhancements are:
Event Rebill
*Ability to specify defaults for each prompt
*Ability to run the program on a CRON (i.e. atomatically on a preset schedule)
*Ability to delay the start of the processing
*Ability to prevent processing if the accounting period and event date range don't correspond
*Ability to print the program prompts and responses on the report
*Ability to store information about the rebill in the corresponding ISN for the events processed
*Ability to add a new function (Maximum Fee Rebilling) that lets you control the amount rebilled to private pay on a per event, per day, per week, per month, or per year basis. The rebill amount is specified in a new DST in the client's private pay record. Event rules are used to select the events and specify the maximum fee period.
*Ability to add a new function (Remaining Balance Rebilling) that lets you rebill the remaining balance of both original events and rebill events to another fund source.
The functionality available prior to this enhancement is now referred to as the 'Standard Rebilling' function.
Other Items:
*SAL Entry prevent Fee and Fund Source Override
*Tracking of manual changes to the event and billing adjustments
*Data Code Table to identify provider IDs in 837 billing. Allows sharing of providers among multiple parms.
*ISN Bill Record You can now store the date, time, and who ran the billing process. This info is automatically stored when you use the feature to create the ISN Billing Record (CREATEISNBILLREC parameter).
*ISNs in Event Display – Allows the use of a hotkey to display ISN information from the event display.
*Event Create from Database – New parameters to prevent the creation of duplicate events
Many thanks to the AR Committee, under the direction of Chris Luckenbill, for all their efforts in identifying and prioritizing the enhancement requests from the users.
Thanks also to Netsmart for their continuing commitment to the improvement of the MIS product. Joint efforts of this type offer a huge benefit to all involved.
If you would like to learn more about these and other enhancements, please visit the Netsmart Customer Support web page.
