Does anyone have a referral form that they created that pushes to orders to count for transition of care for the health information exchange measure? I have a simple referral form but it doesn't do anything and you still have to go to the referral module in orders and fill it all out. I'm just trying to see if we can capture enough patients from now until the end of the year to pass that measure. I know a referral order needs to be completed in the system and then a clinic visit summary created and sent electronically. Am I on the right path? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes we have a patient come in, get a referral to PT and they don't know where they want to go. Once they call for the script to be sent to a particular place, I think I can capture those patients.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We are on CEMR and currently still utilize the referral order form in the orders module. However, we have considered adding the QVera automated feature for sending CCDs and the one that automates consuming the CCD into the EMR. I can find the name of the product if its applicable for you.

I'm responding though to mention (in case you are not aware) that CMS intends to allow for another 90 day reporting period in 2016 which means that at least for all but two of our providers we anticipate being able to exclude this measure from our attestations. We only have two providers that are consistently over 100 external referrals looking back at any 90 day period.

In addition, have you confirmed that rehab referrals should be counted as Transitions of Care?

Hi,

Please take a look at my Referral Dashboard application:

It has all you need to manage your referrals, plus get credit for MU. If you would like a demo, please let me know.

If physician therapy doesn't count for transition of care, then we would be excluded too.
