Document your process for providing timely advice to patients over the phone. PCC EHR clients should record phone calls as phone encounters. For calls that need a callback, a phone task should be created with an appropriate task type and this task should be completed once the phone call has been initially responded to. As documentation for this factor, users can generate a report of phone calls and response times using the "Phone Encounter Performance Report" in the EHR. This report can be used as a call log showing each phone call including response time to complete the first associated task.
As documentation for this factor, produce a call log for at least five days showing the time the call was taken and the time the call was responded to. Partner clients using [http://learn.pcc.com/Default_CSH.htm#pen pen] can generate a report of phone notes created in a time period including the time the call was taken and the time a followup note was added.
 
As of PCC EHR version 6.14, users will be able to document the time a phone task was responded to within the "Task Completion" functionality. With EHR version 6.15, users will be able to generate a report of phone calls to monitor and report the response time for phone tasks.

1.B.2 Providing timely clinical advice by telephone. (CRITICAL FACTOR)

Document your process for providing timely advice to patients over the phone. PCC EHR clients should record phone calls as phone encounters. For calls that need a callback, a phone task should be created with an appropriate task type and this task should be completed once the phone call has been initially responded to. As documentation for this factor, users can generate a report of phone calls and response times using the "Phone Encounter Performance Report" in the EHR. This report can be used as a call log showing each phone call including response time to complete the first associated task.
