This is clearly an issue! Has anyone else noticed this behavior when working on those uniquely difficult schedules?
So the operations are as follows: A visit that was previously worked by any user (Aide, RN, ect.), use the drag and drop function on the clients schedule to "copy" a new visit for the client.
That new visit has more than just the type of visit, time in, time out, biller source and user assigned. There is also the signature that the user signed on the source visit of the copy also attached to the new visit.
If this action for scheduling is performed multiple times, such as monthly or weekly, the results is that these signatures keep stacking with the newly created visit by means of the drag and drop method.
I feel there is a major concern with this action that result in the possibility of Fraud and no less than confusion for the staff that needs to audit these records.
I have a ticket open with Axxess and have given many examples of the issue and how it occurs. Their response today is to simply delete the extra signatures on the new visits. If the scheduler has never know this was happening, how would they know to perform this extra work?
What are your thoughts on this matter? I do not accept the proposed solution the Axxess "engineering team" has purposed.
Terrence thankyou for the concern above. I will review the ticket information you submitted to then research and discuss with IT. Axxess works diligently to maintain a compliant software platform and would like to address this as soon as possible. Thanks Pam
Terrence I have looked for the ticket and am unable to locate it. Can you please email me at phenkels@axxess.com so I can further assist. Thankyou Pam
Hello @Pamela
The ticket is: HELP-253359
This is likely a system-wide issue, that is the reason I included Hospice along with Home Health and Home Care.
Thank you
Terrence thankyou for the information. This is not a feature within the Hospice or Palliative care solution so not a system wide concern. The differing platforms have all be independently created as stand alone products -unique to Axxess to ensure the clients have products specifically designed to meet their specific needs. IT will review your question and respond to you.
Merry Christmas please let me know if I can assist you further.
@Terrence is axxess addressing this?
He @Alex
I'm told they are working on it. I will let you know if I notice that the issue has been resolved.
An Update to this ticket - it seems this ticket has been resolved. I attempted a couple tests to determine if this is true and so far it is. The Signature is not being copied to a new visit when using the drag-and-drop method of scheduling.
Let me know your experiences. Have any other agencies had a ticket on this issue? Have those tickets been resolved? Are there any other issues experienced regarding this method of scheduling?
Thank you all
and Have a Blessed New Year!
@Terrence were noticing that some new home health cert peirieds are not auto creating this month even if the oasis-e is scheduled. support said to approve it out of q.a. as a test. that didnt create the new cert period either.
also, an incorrect msa/cbsa is appearing on new claims
