The 2002 SmartCare® Upgrade, ver. 2.3

The July, 2002 release of SmartCare®, includes the following new features and functions:

Vantage Point’s Data Warehouse Ready for Electronic Medical Records Now

• Membership Module. This module imports HMO membership files (or would receive from any other payer) into special tables which have been added to the database. In the Membership Module is a set of a dozen standard reports concerning PCP panels, plan eligibility, and other subjects.
• Standard Reports: The new Utilization Reports Module has over 20 reports regarding a range of wellness, preventive care, ER utilization, and other basic issues.
• Expanded functionality in the Query Module. You may now create and save queries which let you group all claims by an individual member, define grouping queries sequencing up to 4 fields, and combine multi-level grouping and sorting.
• A new Detail-level Only Query Module. Previously you could see the detail-level (individual charge lines) only one patient at a time as an drill-down from an episode-level query. There is now a complete module, similar to the current Query Module, that goes against the entire detail-level claims data, and allows you to create reports showing, for example, all providers and their patients with a certain CPT code or range of codes, and create summaries.
• Cross-study Patient/Provider Tracking Module. To strengthen SmartCare®’s disease management capabilities, you are now be able to track patient care, by patient, PCP, or provider, across any two studies, thus enabling you to do longitudinal analysis.
• Percentage columns added to all of the Resource Utilization screens to see the percentage of the total that each individual row comprises. There is a separate percentage column for the total number of episodes or services, and a percentage column for the total financial amount.
• Porting of the software to the Oracle database, version 8 or higher.
