New Vista Problem/Patch Package [#64565] 10 Dec 2015 18:00:02 -0500 (EST) 51 lines ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The PATIENT-CENTERED MANAGEMENT MODULE (PCMM) WEB package is available for user selection as part of the patch module. The package prefix is 'WEBP' and the description of the package is as follows: Patient-Centered Management Module (PCMM) Web application. PCMM Web is a portlet that runs inside the Clinical Information Support System (CISS) portal. The Clinical Information Support System (CISS) is a web-based portal application that provides a central interface for users to access information and applications necessary for their role. The applications accessed through CISS are called partner systems. PCMM Web is a partner system to CISS. In order to fully support a team based, patient-centric approach to healthcare delivery, enhancements to PCMM have been developed which allow a team to be formed and aligned around a patient. These, include providers residing in multiple VA sites and in non-VA settings to enable care coordination and communication. The software supports automated data collection for management metrics and analysis related to access, workload, and panel management. VHA's model of team-based care is known as the Patient-Aligned Care Team (PACT). The goal is to evolve and replace existing PCMM software with functionality that identifies all team members and specialists (VA and non-VA) involved in the care of the patient, as well as their contact information and provide modalities to facilitate provider-provider communication. This new PACT Management Module is known as PCMM Web. According to the PCMM Modification Workgroup, the relationship between the patient and his/her Primary Care Provider (PCP) will help to enhance patient care and the treatment process. Patients who regularly visit the same PCP receive better healthcare and utilize fewer healthcare resources because of the PCP's ability to treat patients more efficiently and effectively.
