Hi Jon,

My thanks for your response: The 37% breakes down pretty simply: 65% Hospital Transitional Care Unit-Facility code 31 as CMS views this unit as a SNF. The balnce is to the external SNF same facility code. I learned as with eRx I was in the penalty based on denominator codes of same type for both TCU and external SNF...and no way to control Rx based on facility control. Ultimatly I have usurped the eRx TCU and SNF process at time of discharge by handling the discharge scripts through my office with a copy to the facilities for their records......then sending the sript electroncialy. This amorphous process will allow me to meet ERx demands moving forward....
I have considered looking for a pdf program, but figured if I was to go that route I might as well spend time relocating that data to an EHR system.
I had hopes that between my PM (Medisoft) and with UpDox I could develop workflow to move data to the needed fields with limited replication...and believed that if I only had to focus on the 37% group I might have a fighting chance.
