Users and partners benefit from even easier integration and deployment.
1 Mar 2021. Washington DC. LogicNets, the developer and provider of the LogicNets clinical decision support platform announced today that it has released a new version of its AUC Solution, an on-demand cloud service for helping Medicare and Medicaid providers and practitioners comply with the appropriate use criteria (AUC) mandate of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA). The new AUC Solution version 2.0 builds substantially on LogicNets’ unique visual pathways navigation capability for AUC guidelines from Intermountain Health and NCCN and focuses on expanding how users and organizations can more easily access and administer the service and integrate it into scalable and cost effective workflow.
Highlighted New Version Features
New features of the AUC Solution include:
- Improved interactive tools for rapid and even easier technical integration with the EMR/RIS and the LogicNets CDSM web service module and its CDS hooks/FHIR-based API.
- Introduction of “practice mode” – the ability for admins and users of the standalone AUC portal to generate non-production consultations without incurring CDSM transaction fees. Since the AUC portal is free to use, customers can fully deploy, test and train users on the platform at no cost.
- Enhanced user admin and roles-based collaboration features in the standalone AUC Portal module to enable sophisticated ordering-furnishing workflow automation. These include: o Self-registration and organic community development to reduce admin burden – users from all involved organizations register themselves, set their roles and then request to join or connect to the different referring or furnishing organizations they interact with. o Physician-proxy self admin to reduce admin burden – ordering professionals authorize and link to each other as “proxies” so that physician assistants can easily be enabled to run a consultation and dynamically assign it to the ordering physician’s NPI.
- New furnishing provider connection and sponsorship management – furnishing providers can connect to provider organizations via common use of the free standalone AUC Portal, allowing easy sharing of consultation results. Furnishers can even sponsor and finance referrer consultations with the CDSM.
About LogicNets and the AUC Solution
LogicNets generally provides a powerful no-code platform for healthcare organizations to cost effectively develop, deploy, and manage advanced clinical decision support and structured reporting applications that can be integrated into the healthcare workflow. The LogicNets AUC Solution is a turn key cloud application built by the company itself on this platform and made available to providers, practitioners, and EMR/RIS vendors with a pay-per-transaction web service – the AUC CDSM. The application stands out for its easy integration to ordering systems and its unique visual presentation and interactive navigation of AUC guidelines. Users can rapidly identify and select patient scenario information and generate the codes required by CMS for ordering and receiving reimbursement for advanced imaging procedures. They can also use the service for meaningful guidance to determine and validate the optimal appropriate imaging services when they are not familiar with a clinical area.
The standalone AUC Portal is a component of the AUC Solution that enables easy validation setup and processing through the CDSM service independently of an EMR. The AUC Portal is acquired at no cost by users who can then connect to organizations licensing the AUC CDSM web service.
LogicNets is approved by the US government’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) as a vendor of a qualified clinical decision support mechanism (qCDSM) that providers must use for dynamically validating the appropriate use of advanced imaging orders. Intermountain Healthcare and NCCN are leading clinical knowledge organizations and CMS-qualified Provider Led Entities (qPLEs) who are authorized by CMS under PAMA to make their clinical guidelines available through qCDSM offerings.
