We are considering focusing on the Functional Status Assessment for total knee quality measure in 2017. We are trying to identify a 'form' in GE that allows complete documentation of the assessment to comply with this measure. IT has told me that we will have to manually add OBS terms to the flowsheet in order to capture this which I find very hard to believe this is the only way to capture the documentation.
Is anyone capturing this measure or considering and what work flows have you developed or are developing for the functional assessment. I know the measure specifies the KOOS and PROMIS assessment tools.
Thank you! Kim
You don't need to enter the values to the OBS terms manually. However you will need to build or obtain a custom form that contains the specific OBS terms you need. At one time GE had Ortho specific content for purchase, I don't know if it would contain what you are looking for but it's a place to start.
I agree with Stephanie we have several custom forms that we use in just about every visit type, so you might want to look at getting a copy of Visual Form Editor (VFE) and build your own form or find someone on CHUG that has a form they are willing to share.
We also have another CCC package from GE, CCC version 9.4, we purchased the part for OB/Gyn because we needed forms specific for this Specialty. GE may have an Ortho piece in this CCC package that you maybe able to purchase the licensing for. This package is completely separate from CCC Basic.
