Jeanne: I can provide an update on this..... The proposed HSCRC POA regulations, along with the newly released NUBC POA Guidelines have both been submitted to Meditech and QuadraMed.
Meditech has this in our Test System & QuadraMed has POA fields in a release that is due out at the end of the year.... (Quantim 6.4) Another issue is that the HSCRC proposed regs are NOT consistent with the NUBC POA Guidelines..... George Arges, Chairman, NUBC has submitted his recommendation to HSCRC that they adopt the NUBC guidelines - we (Washington County Hospital) also submitted a letter of recommendation to HSCRC..... The comment period is open until 11/27/06 -- and hopefully, HSCRC will revise their proposed regs. HSCRC's Tape Specs has the effective date of 2/12/07. So, at this point, I have been in a "wait & see" mode... waiting for the conclusion of the comment period. Hope this helps...... Has anyone heard anything more recent ??

Please see the anticipated HSCRC regulatory changes expected with January 1 discharges. We should discuss how we can best capture the data. I think a field next to each code in the encoder; create a default of "present on admission" which can be easily changed; add to the Quantum interface and to diagnosis screen in Meditech. Some of this can be automated with the code list that is developed by AHIMA/NUBC/AHA. Thoughts? Has anyone connected Meditech in regards to this issue yet?
