Import From HIE

ChartMaker Clinical has the ability to import patient data from a Health Information Exchange (HIE). The imported data will then be contained in a Patient Summary Document that is attached to the patient. Use the following steps to import data from an HIE for a patient.

 

 

  1. Click Chart > Import > From HIE.
     

  2. In the Select patient field of the Import Document from HIE dialog, enter the patient name (Last name, First name) that you would like to import information for, and then in the list below highlight the applicable patient.
     

  3. Check the This patient has been transferred or referred to provider, or has not yet seen the provider option at the bottom-left of the Import Document from HIE dialog to track whether the patient has been transferred, referred, or never seen the by provider. When this option is selected, it will be counted toward any applicable Meaningful Use and MIPS 2018 performance measures.

     

  4. In the Select import details section, you can select the appropriate HIE and Provider, as needed, and then click the Next button.



     

  5. If the patient selected above is not found on the HIE, a HIE Import Error dialog will appear with the following message: "There are no patients matching your search criteria registered with the HIE.  Please try again." Click the OK button.



     

  6. If the Import Consent flag was just set to YES, and you try to import from HIE immediately, it is possible that you will receive a message that the registration for this patient is still in process. The HIE needs to register this consent prior to allowing any information exchange.  Please wait approximately 15 minutes and try the download again. Click the OK button.



     

  7. When the HIE matches on a patient, a dialog will appear indicating the match. If there are multiple patients that match, select the applicable patient. You can also check or uncheck the This patient has been transferred or referred to provider, or has not yet seen the provider option, if applicable. When this option is selected, it will be counted toward any applicable Meaningful Use and MIPS 2018 performance measures. After the applicable patient and options have been selected as needed, click the Next button.



     

  8. If there are multiple documents to download from the HIE, an Import Document from HIE dialog will appear listing all of the documents. Highlight the document you want to download, and then click the Finish button.

    Do note, if there was only one document to download, the system will automatically download that document and the Import Document from HIE dialog will not appear.



     

  9. A message stating that the document will then be queued for retrieval and will appear in your To-Do List when it has completed will then appear. Click the OK button.  



     

  10. Once downloaded, the imported document will appear in your To-Do List with a HIE Import Successful subject heading. You can then double-click this item to open it.  



     

  11. The Summary of Care document will open in the patient's chart. If the imported CCDA file contains any allergies, diagnoses, or medications, click the Reconciliation button.



     

  12. In the Clinical Information Reconciliation dialog you can view the various Medications, Diagnoses, and Allergies by clicking the corresponding tab. The allergies, diagnoses, and medications are broken into the patient’s Current Chart Allergies/Medications, Available Allergies/Medications from C-CDA Import for the patient, and a Final Merged List. Each list will show the available allergy (name, start and last modified dates, and reaction information) and medication (name, start and last modified dates, and sig information) detail.

    Allergies, Diagnoses, and Medications in the Available Allergies/Diagnoses/Medications from C-CDA Import list are color-coded to denote the level of medication information available and the ability of importation. You can click the Legend option for a complete listing. Allergies, diagnoses, and medications can be moved individually through by clicking the Add button, or in bulk using the Add All button. Each allergy/diagnosis/medication also includes a Skip checkbox that can be manually selected but will be turned on if the allergy/diagnosis/medication already exists, has an end date that has passed, or if there isn't enough information to import the allergy/diagnosis/medication. Allergies, diagnoses, and medications that have been added will show in the Final Merged List and labels will be updated to show their status as added.

    New medications added to the Final Merged List can be edited by using the Change button. This will open the prescribe dialog with as much of the available information found in the CDA pre-filled. The prescribe dialog will also show the original name, dates, and text from the import at the bottom.

    An added medication can be removed from the list and existing medications can be discontinued on either the final or current list. If a medication is discontinued, the discontinue dialog will appear and then the medication will be marked as ended.




    New diagnoses added to the Final Merged List can be edited by using the Change button. This will open the Note Diagnosis dialog with as much of the available information found in the CDA pre-filled.

    An added diagnosis can be removed from the list and existing diagnoses can be resolved on either the final or current list. If a diagnosis is resolved, the End Diagnosis dialog will appear and then the diagnosis will be marked as resolved.




    New allergies added to the Final Merged List can be edited by using the Change button. This will open the Change Allergy dialog allowing you to modify the reaction text. Likewise, allergies in the final merged list will have a Reviewed checkbox so they can be marked as reviewed once confirmed. A Review All link is added at the bottom to quickly mark all items as reviewed.

    An allergy can be removed from the Current Chart Allergies list and the Final Merged List. If an allergy is removed, a Remove Allergy dialog will appear allowing you to enter a reason for the removing the allergy.




    No changes will be made to a patient's chart until the you click the Confirm button. If the Cancel button is clicked, no allergies will be removed or added to the chart, no medications will be discontinued or added to the chart, and no diagnoses will be resolved or added to the chart. When confirmed, Clinical will run through all actions and complete them. All output will appear by the allergy or the prescribe button, or in the diagnosis checklist, in the note.

    Once all allergies/diagnoses/medications are confirmed and moved into the patient's chart, drug interactions will be performed on all new allergies and medications. If a drug interaction happens, and no comment has been added, the Interactions Present screen will appear showing the interaction and the name of the drug in the title. You will have the option to add a comment and proceed, or discontinue the drug.
     

  13. You can then Add and Modify Allergy Information via the Allergy button, Add, Renew, or Discontinue Medications as needed via the Prescribe button, or Add and Modify Diagnosis Information via the Diagnosis List.
     

  14. When finished, click the Save button or close out of the chart.
     

  15. Repeat steps 1 - 13 to download any additional documents from the HIE for this patient.
