EMR Enhancements
EMR - Patient Sign with Code
What's New: Patient Sign with Code is rolling out to all Sunwave clients! Allow a patient to input a pin code to stamp their signature onto any documentation.
Why It Matters: This enhancement to our form signatures will save patients and staff time when they need to sign very many forms in a row.
Who It's For: This enhancement is relevant to patients and any EMR staff capturing patient signatures. They can now quickly move through large sets of forms without asking the patient to constantly draw their signature with a finger or the mouse. Admissions and Intake staff will love this for helping get through the initial set of consent forms.
How to Use: Navigate to the patients chart for whom you want to set up “Sign with Code”. Use the blue pulldown menu and select “Sign with Code” from the menu of options. Have the patient input their secret code, sign and press save. You will now be presented with the pin code option when the patient needs to sign!
EMR - Deleted/Removed Forms Report
What's New: You can now easily identify any deleted or removed forms from a patients chart by utilizing our new Deleted Forms Report!
Why It Matters: This report allows users to verify if forms were deleted or removed and the user associated to that transaction.
Who It's For: This report is for billing/financial analysts, clinical quality assurance staff and any others who want to verify any and all documentation entering or leaving a clients chart.
How to Use: Navigate down the left menu, click on Billing → “Deleted Forms Report”.
RCM Enhancements
Option to include CPT Codes on Patient Statements
What's New: Patient Statements can now include Billing Codes (Revenue Codes/CPT Codes) if enabled in Statement Setup, proactively addressing Texas state regulations and anticipating broader billing transparency requirements.
Why It Matters: This update not only aligns with Texas's new regulations but also positions healthcare providers to adapt swiftly to similar changes in other states, ensuring clear and compliant billing communication with patients.
Who It's For: Especially relevant for healthcare providers in Texas and any region with stringent billing disclosure laws, this feature is for anyone seeking to maintain the highest standards of billing transparency.
How to Use:
In Practice Setup → Statements Setup.
Activate the new “Include Billing Code on Patient Statement” flag.
On the Patient Statement, Billing Codes will appear next to service descriptions, formatted appropriately to include both Revenue and CPT Codes.
Posting Report with Expanded Data Fields for Superior Tracking
What's New: The Posting Report now features the addition of Billing Facility ID and Patient MRI Number, enriching the dataset for a more complete financial analysis.
Why It Matters: Inclusion of these key identifiers elevates the precision of reconciliation processes and patient billing management, offering finance teams a deeper level of detail and verification.
Who It's For: Designed for finance professionals who depend on thorough and accurate reporting to streamline their workflows and enhance patient record management.
How to Use: Visit Billing → Posting Report to view the new fields.
