PatientStudio's Plan of Care (POC) management is evolving, incorporating valuable customer feedback to improve efficiency and clarity.
Updates & Improvements
Automatic Treatment Period
When recertifying the POC, the treatment validity period now updates automatically based on the selected treatment duration in the POC.
Planned Treatments
The Planned Treatments section represents all treatments intended for the patient under this POC.
This section has been renamed for improved clarity.
Updating Goal Progress
Goal progress can now be updated within daily notes and progress notes, making tracking more seamless and intuitive.
Editing vs. Recertifying a POC
Editing a POC
Modifies the existing plan for the current treatment period without creating a new POC.
Does not affect the certification status or create a new certification requirement.
Automatically updates all related claims to reflect the changes.
Example: Updating diagnosis (DX) codes in the POC will update all claims within the treatment period.
Recertifying a POC
Creates a new plan with an updated treatment period, goals, and other treatment details.
If a payer requires certification (e.g., Medicare), the certification status of the new POC will default to "Needs Signature."
