[MT-L] How do you set up recurring accounts to auto discharge and re-register?

[Stacy Cope]

Again, I am new to the Meditech world, so how do I set up all recurring account to auto discharge after 30 days of inactivity?  We are a C/S 5.66 client.

 

Thank you,

We’ve asked Meditech this as well.

There is no parameter or switch to say discharge RCR accts. after X days of inactivity. (no charges/visits X days to present)

 

We have written a report to identify this, and we work off of the list to manually discharge as needed.

Not perfect but it works.

Actually, in C/S there is a parameter within the Recurring Outpatient Autodischarge parameters, where you can specify an option to discharge patient based on 'x' number of days after the last visit.  And you can also vary the parameter based on specific Outpatient Locations as well.  So if you want to auto-discharge an account if the patient hasn't had a revisit under the same account in 31 days, you can do it.  There are other auto-discharge options as well.

Hi Stacy,

Do you need the system to create a new account once the system has discharged the RCR account after 30 days?

 

We have our parameters set-up to do this, so I would be happy to share them with you if you would like.

 

Thank you,
