Creating and Editing Practice Advisories PART II: EHR-ECQM
Creating and Editing Practice Advisories PART II: EHR-ECQM

This is the second of a three part video. It explains how to understand prepare a complex MIPS clinical practice guideline that will be turned into Praxis Practice Advisories (PAs). It results in 12 different and synergistic Praxis PAs logically linked in an algorithm that will assist theclinic at the point of care perform with great ease, speed, and performance scores. This guideline is as complex as we have found, soit is a great teaching case. If you can follow the logic here, you can pretty much do all the others with ease. This next video discusses some of the required logic in Praxis but focuses mainly how to interpretthe MIPS Guideline in a logical manner, using a specially created Microsoft Word File (attached below). Among other themes, it covers what Value Sets and SNOMED Codes are about. Once the Word file has been properly completed, the next video will explain how to easily prepare the clinic to use it and how to do the Guidelines themselves bytransferring the information from the word file created here.


SUMMARY OF LOGIC USED

  • Not(OR + OR + OR +..) = AND NOT + AND NOT + AND NOT ...
  • Do not mix ORs with AND NOTs within a single window pane
  • Within given a window pane all entries are ORs or AND NOTS
  • Between window panes resulting logical entries are ANDs
  • To create ORs you may also generate Cousin Practice Advisories
  • Line items generate codes needed to attest.
  • Line items can be set to trigger other Practice Advisories
  • The Parent PA value set frequency should probably be set for "once a year" to comply with the reporting requirements with ease.

Creating and Editing Practice Advisories PART III: EHR-ECQM
Creating and Editing Practice Advisories PART III: EHR-ECQM - Setting Up the PAs

This is the third video of the series explaining how the Praxis Practice Advisories may be created or edited. This is the continuation of the second part describe Guideline logic. Here it is more a Praxis technical issue, involving transposing thelogic developed in the previous video into the Practice Advisories of Praxis. We have selected this relatively challenging Practice Guideline, as most others are quite trivial to set up or edit. Knowing how to handle this guideline, therefore, willprepare you to create or edit most others.

Introduction to the Concept Processor - First Patient
Introduction to the Concept Processor - First Patient

This video explains how the Concept Processor generates your records.

Predictive Model Charting, the heart of the Praxis Concept Processor, may at first appear strange and counterintutive, and for many of you this approach may not even seem useful for the kinds of patients you're seeing and cases you are handling. What we're about to show you, however, will revolutionize the way you document - and even practice - medicine... no matter what types of cases you handle daily. Please do not skip this entire Introductory Video.

The Acute Assessment
The Acute Assessment

This video explains how the Concept Processor generates your records.

Note the *HALT areas, where you can safely stop and continue next time without losing your work.

Virtual Assessment and Subjective Protocols
Virtual Assessment and Subjective Protocols

This video explains how you handle a complex case of uncertain etiology. It also covers "touchy-feely text" i.e. text that is highly patient specific. We discuss the micromanagement of physical findings, discussion and plan, and finally we cover questionnaires and patient specific information. Finally, we also cover the other highlightable elements as well as private comments in brown. At the end of this video, you should be able to handle any single type acute assessment presenting to your practice.

Multiple and Chronic Assessments
Multiple and Chronic Assessments

This video explains how to mix Acute Assessments and generate the Chronic Assessments, a much faster and effective way to chart a visit for a patient with multiple problems.

Note the *HALT areas, where you can safely stop and continue next time without losing your work.

How to use the Praxis Training Videos
How to use the Praxis Training Videos

This short video shows you how to make best use of our Praxis training videos. In short, the best way to study each feature is:

  1. To review a video in its entirety prior to attempting the feature in your Praxis
  2. Review again while you split your screen or use the alt-tab keys to flip from the video to your Imaginary patient in Praxis (always use your Imaginary patient to try new features)
  3. Use our timed topics as a reference to quickly find items you wish to review on the fly.

In this video, we show you how to do all this.

Patient Preparation
Patient Preparation

This video is meant for Medical Assistants and Receptionists. It explains how to create a patient, how to add allergies and current medications, how to perform an intake history, and finally, how to set the patient for the provider to see.
