PFS controls all the B/AR dictionaries, (plus two with additional
responsibilities, one defined individual has access to Provider Dictionary in
MIS for PIN updates, and another {the HIPAA coordinator} maintains the MIS
Insurance dictionary). We also have internal scripting tools to update our LSS
MIS & PBR Insurances.
A few years ago IT was adding new B/AR procedure codes, but this has since
changed.
We occasionally become involved if an install requires new locations, for the
Account Type dictionary, but only with written approval. We've recently
implemented a Financial Change Management policy which defines when we (IT)
require formal authorization for changes, and the only person who can authorize
these is the PFS Director.. (Obviously, the Account Type dictionary meets this
criteria.)
We also have all audit trails turned on in MIS for all B/AR and ABS dictionary
edits, only wish we could require something besides a .or user initials !
This is a standard Meditech pop-up free text, and we can't add attributes to it.
I believe we have also added the MIS Dictionary Audit report routine to the PFS
Director's menu, so it can be ran at will.

-----Original Message----- From: Mattie Pankey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 6:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] BAR Dictionary Access We are curious how other hospitals coordinate dictionary responsibility for BAR between IT and Patient Financial Services. Currently, IT controls the BAR dictionaries but we believe the department could be responsible for some of the dictionaries such as Remittance, Canned Text, Dunning Messages, etc. Does your Patient Financial Service department assume responsibility for some dictionary functions or all? What dictionaries do they control? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
