1-click option to Finalize a Denied ClaimThis convenient feature will move claims from DENIED to FINALIZED in 1 quick click. Prior to this release, users were required torepost to the claim in order for the status to be changed. We had a number of requests for this feature and we listened!

NDC on Paper ClaimsPrior to this release two data entry points were required for NDC codes depending on whether the claim was being sent on paper orelectronically. With this claim enhancement only one NDC entry is required: always use the Drug Info NDC electronic data entrypoint. If the claim is printed, the NDC code will be placed in the shaded area above the service line. Many of our billers have beenrequesting this feature and we listened!

EHR Updates

Patient Centered Medical HomeThis highly anticipated module includes a number of great features to help your practice achieve compliance. The complete modulewill be released by 12.12.2013 and detailed release notes will be available soon.

ICD9-SNOMED-ICD10 Conversion ToolThe industry is going to see two major coding system changes in 2014: SNOMED and ICD10. Meaningful Use Stage 2 requires thatProblem Lists be coded in SNOMED and beginning October 1st 2014 diagnosis coding will require ICD10. The Problem ListICD9toSNOMED and ICD9toICD10 mapping tool has been available for over a year to provide our users with the means to preparefor these coding system changes and is now enhanced to provide greater functionality.

Problem ListAdding a problem to a Problem List will now require a SNOMED code. Users can still use an ICD9 or ICD10 search to lookup theproblem however the SNOMED selection will also be required. MediTouch has made every effort to provide 1to1 code mappings foreach of the coding systems to make this as easy as possible.



Encounter: Diagnosis CodingDiagnosis Coding can now be documented using either ICD9 or ICD10. The tool offers automatic translation of diagnosis panels fromICD9 to the ICD10 equivalents as well as SNOMEDtoICD9 and SNOMEDtoICD10 translation. Keep a look out for our enhancedICD10 TREE conversation tool to be launched early next year!



In-Office Radiology Orders & Quick ResultsMeaningful Use Stage 2 requires 30% of Radiology Orders to be “Ordered” electronically. Clients will continue to use the Orders:Radiology form for external orders but the new “InOffice” Facility option on the form permits clients that perform radiology inoffice tostill get credit for the measure. The InOffice option will help clients convert to this workflow, but still maintain efficiency. For anyoffice using Custom Forms in the Office Procedures section for “Radiology” orders please move these forms to Test Results page bynext year.

A checkbox has been implemented to accommodate the InOffice scenario and eliminates the need to select an external Facility.

A “Create Order & Result” button has been added to the order form as a shortcut that creates the order and navigates to the Resultsscreen for documenting the results immediately which reduces the number of required clicks.

*At the time of this MediTouch release the CPT code will need to be manually added to the Procedure Coding section of theencounter. In the next MediTouch release, if InOffice is check marked the CPT code will automatically transfer.

Office and CPOE for Lab OrdersRelated to the Radiology requirements, 30% of Lab Orders need to be “Ordered” electronically. This feature will allow clients to utilizethe Orders: Lab form even if an electronic connection is not established.



Office Procedures Search OptionTo help simplify the process of locating Office Procedures a convenient search option has been introduced.

MediDraw Increase in the Number of Allowed Image AttachmentsPrior to this release clients were limited to 2 image attachments in the Physical Exam. This has been increased to permit up to 10images and each can be annotated using MediDraw and presented in the Clinical Summary.



Cosigner Displayed on Exported EncounterWe had a number of requests for this enhancement and understand how important it is. The left margin will be maintained as theSigner name and the right margin will display the Cosigner when exporting the clinical summary to PDF or fax.



Document Library Additions: Social Hx and OrdersAs always we want to make the Document Library as robust as possible. This release offers 2 anticipated additions to this feature:Social Hx and Orders. For orders, we have options for Orders placed, Order History and Order Results. Please note that OrderHistory and Results will only come from encounter associations. PDF results would need to be printed separately.
