MS4 & Vision – Vision User Group Conference 2010 – In Full Swing

It is not too early to start planning for ICD10! This will be a significant industry effort by all. Join us for an informative workshop that will help you and your staff understand ICD-10-CM. Topics include:

• An overview of the ICD10 final rule, which requires the implementation of ICD-10-CM/PCS on October 1, 2013.
• The differences between ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM/PCS codes.
• # The use of the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) that have been created to assist in converting policies, edits, and trend data from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS.
• What you can do right now in your hospital.
• What MS4 is doing to reach this goal.
• The resources that are available to assist in planning for the transition from the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS.

Audience: Anyone who wants to have a better understanding of what IC10CM/PCS is and what it will mean to them and their facility.

Discuss how MIRA files relate to one another as well as to files in related applications, such as AR/ADT. We’ll discover how report information ties to the data file elements.

Audience: Must have a working knowledge of MIRA.

How well are you managing patient privacy policies and procedures? Are you overwhelmed with insurmountable requests for information? Come for hands-on learning of the Privacy Administration package and see how to successfully implement it at your hospital.

Audience: Medical records and business office staff. Clinicians, unit secretaries, or anyone who discloses protected health information (PHI).

MedSeries4 applications have a mandate to address the responsibility of guarding data integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This includes the processes that control and monitor patient protected health information (PHI) access. MS4’s Auditing feature complements existing hospital-specific policies and procedures through use of the General Purpose (GP) Audit Master file, the GP Audit Log Transaction file, and the GP Audit Log Purge program.

This workshop provides a review of all components of the General Purpose Auditing feature, including specifics of the audit trail that can be captured and potentially used to facilitate a security audit, and technical and end user information. Participants will be able to execute specific AR/ADT and MIRA features and track their steps in the audit log.

NOTE: The workshop does not focus on specific application functionality, but teaches users how specific functions in those applications capture audit information.

Audience: HIPAA compliance officers and any user who needs to electronically access protected health information (PHI).
