Mary, I would urge you to share more. Programming is as much art as
science and even the most experienced programmers can learn from others if they
don't have an ego in the way. Thanks for sharing!
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/12/04 06:48AM >>> Tom: I have
attached two text files to this email since our IS department strips BWS files.
Here is the deal with these. I am
always hesitant to �share� on talk because I find that most of the people out
there know more then I do already! However here is what I can tell you about the
above. I parse the data from the 835 into Access FIRST then I run query�s to
extract the fields I want and use my existing batch posting routines, which work
nicely. The managers here use the
data from the Access data base for denial management and f/u activity, creating
a very useful tool. Why get all the data and not use it?
I have found
with each additional payer I bring into this routine that they all have their
own unique interpretation of the 835, which makes for fun each time, but is of
course par for the course with all of the �conditional� fields of the 835
allowing them to do this! So the first thing I do with any 835 is open a new
project and open it through data station as well as print out about 5 pages of
raw data and compare where things fall and how they have �Interpreted� items,
this allows me to (with MUCH HELP from BWS staff) modify my scripts to gather
all the data I want. We are a
children�s hospital so our Medicare population is limited to ESRD so small
compared to everyone else. However
the basics should still apply! I
imagine all this will do is give you a starting place but hopefully prevent you
from re-inventing the wheel.
For those of
you who may look at this and have some �streamline� ideas I would be interested
in your input. Thank
you Mary Mary
