Obtaining Your Direct Email Address from eCW

Log into your application, then click on the Admin Band, click on eCW P2P Administration.

This will open the P2P Administration window. Find the provider that you would like to set up with a

“direct” address. Click on the blue hyperlink titled “Edit Settings” at the far right end of the page.

A window will open up showing all the P2P settings, scroll down until you get to the section titled HISP.

Ensure the provider’s contact email address, full first name, and last name are correct. Fill in your

organization’s name and provide an abbreviation for the organization. Click the box labeled “Check

Availability” if the address is available it will display in green right above the box that the address is

available. After all the information is correct, address is checked for availability, click the “Submit”

button.

Next to the heading HISP-Direct, it should now display PENDING. The approval of the provider’s direct

email address could take 3-5 business days. I suggest checking back periodically to see if it has been

approved.

Once it is approved, you will see HISP-Direct-CONFIRMED

Select Test Partner

Next step is to sign up once person within the office to manage the providers within the EHR

randomizer.

Go to this website: https://ehr-randomizer.nist.gov/ehr-randomizer-app/#/home

If you already have an account you can simply just log in, if you don’t have an account go to the left

hand corner of the web page and click on register.

Enter the information it asks for and then click create account.

You will be asked to accept the agreement below:

Once you are logged into your account go to the heading “My CEHRTs”. Click on “add CEHRT”.

Enter in the provider’s information as such, then click Save. The Direct Email Address is the email

address you obtained above. This is not your normal work email address. Please note that you must

click the No button under “is your CEHR currently accrediated by Direct Trust?”

The next step is to find a “match”. Click on the heading labeled “My Matches” and click on the area that

states find a new match or request new match.

The following box will display, choose eClinicalWorks from the drop down, and then click on request

match. Under the “My Matches” heading you will then get what TEST CMS EHR you need to send P2P

Patient Record/Referral to. The first time I did this it was, iPatientCare EHR, this time it is Medical

Information Technology Inc.

Actually Completing Test

After you obtained your ID (first section), signed into the Randomizer and selected your test partner,

you are now ready to send a TEST patient record or referral via P2P to your TEST EHR. I did this by going

to the HUB on a TEST patient, right under the patient’s picture you will see a box with a green P, click on

the green P. Then click on the option to send an eCW P2P Patient Record.

Depending on what TEST EHR you get assigned will depend on how the following box will appear. The

FROM: field should have the provider’s name that is sending the test. The To: field will be the TEST CMS

EHR that you were matched up with. Before you send it, attach some attachments, and then click send.

You can validate that the records were sent out of the application by going to the “T” and click on eCW

P2P Patient Records.

Make sure you click on the “outbox” and select the provider who sent the records. You should see

something similar to the screenshot below if the message was sent out successfully.

I would wait at least a couple of days to see if you receive anything back from your TEST EHR saying the

message was received. If I haven’t received a response back, I suggest emailing the TEST EHR asking if

they have received it or not. The email address for them is listed under the “My Match” section after

highlighting their name. Below is the confirmation email we received. Keep this confirmation for your

records to prove you performed the test.
