From intake to billing, CPR+ Enterprise provides work lists for each step to make sure nothing gets missed. It takes the core CPR+ functionality – entering patients, new orders, authorizations, prescription setup, labeling, dispensing, and delivery functions – and streamlines them through a series of lists. These lists serve as a dashboard to help identify “bottlenecks” in key areas of your business. The key component of CPR+ Enterprise is the Enterprise List Manager. It gives you access to all of the Enterprise Lists – with a counter that records the number of items in each list. These totals will refresh in real-time, giving you a productivity “dashboard” for constant monitoring of all key business activity.
I don't have enough space to describe every list in the Enterprise module, so I'll discuss a couple of my favorites. Let's look at List #2: Patients w/ Incomplete Info. Your goal is consistent patient data. In CPR+ Enterprise, you can designate which fields are "required." These fields will appear in red. Any patient record with a required field that has not been answered will remain in the Patients w/ Incomplete Info list. The great thing about this list is that you don't have to have all the required fields complete before the prescription can be filled. This means that Intake Staff can put the finishing touches on the patient record before, during or after your Pharmacy Staff start their processes. While the Incoming Faxes and Patients w/ Incomplete Information Lists are very important, the Order Entry / Completion List is the first list in a series of lists that take an order from beginning to end (Rx Fill). Now let's look at List #4, Infusion Rx Authorizations. After Order Entry / Completion, CPR+ Enterprise will move the order to the Infusion Rx Authorizations list if the payor assigned to that order requires authorizations. (Setup in the Insurance Company database window.) Similar to the Incomplete Info list, records here can be accessed by the Pharmacy Staff and Billing Staff at the same time. Note – if the payor assigned to the order does not require Authorizations, then the order will be moved to List 5, Patients to Contact – New Rx’s. CPR+ Enterprise is designed for the high-volume provider who needs to process hundreds of orders per day with total efficiency, or the smaller provider who just wants to get more done in less time.

For my next few articles, I will be providing quick looks at different CPR+ managers and the reports you can access from within them. The CPR+ Equipment Manager is designed to help you track and manage inventory quickly by filtering the records you see according to the task at hand. What equipment has preliminary maintenance due? What equipment is out to a patient? What equipment is out to a patient that needs preventative maintenance? These and dozens of other scenarios are available for your review from the Equipment Manager. If you want a list of what you’ve filtered, you can easily print one from the Equipment Manager by clicking Print or pressing the <F7> key. You will be prompted with a list of report options. To print a simple item list, select Print List (6). To print Bar Codes, select Print Bar Codes (5). If you choose to print any of the other reports on the menu, this will print the corresponding inventory report from the Inventory Reports menu, but for only those items on your list. All reports will respect the filters and sort orders on the Equipment Manager grid. For more information on managing your inventory, contact Kim Carlsen to schedule some time with a trainer.
