GoRev Automation Engine
Optimization is the name of the game. You are likely familiar with Reports Bulk Actions allowing you to perform specific actions on multiple accounts with a couple clicks. You may also be familiar with Note Template editor / comments template. . What could make these features (and eventually all our features) better? An automation engine capable of executing complex actions based on configurable conditions.
You can :
Use the GoRev Automation Engine to automatically generate a patient communication with attachments whenever a specific CARC/RARC code is received on an EOB (think auto send COB forms to patients).
Set a specific followup status and date whenever an EOB is posted with an allowable less than an amount you specify for accounts with United Healthcare as primary.
Add an alert comment whenever a specific diagnosis code is entered.
Solve new regulatory issues such as Texas SB490 by automatically issuing an itemized statement to patients via the secure GoRev patient portal as soon as coding is complete.
Below is a guide on how to configure this engine and a list of conditions and actions currently supported. This list of conditions and actions will be expanded over the coming months. Bookmark this guide and watch our change log for updates! Have an idea for a condition/action? Please send it to us at ask@gorev.com.
Accessing the GoRev Automation Engine
Access the Automation Engine via Admin and
A user will require the GoRev Automation Engine permission in order to access this functionality. We recommend granting this permission sparingly as this feature can have wide reaching impacts across your entire GoRev environment.
Configuring Rules
Click on + Add to start creating a fresh new rule and you will see the below.
IMPORTANT - this system does not save your work intermittently. We recommend clicking save frequently in order to not lose your work.
Specify the name of your rule where it says NewRule#. When you click save the name of the rule will update in the pane on the left.
Pick the facilities you want this rule to run against by clicking the Facilities drop down and checking the box next to each facility.
Add conditions by clicking the condition button
Click into the text box titled Column and begin typing to search through all GoRev fields. Hit Enter or click the field you want the condition based on.
Now click the Drop down to the right and pick an operator. Input a value ensuring you maintain the same value type as the field you have selected (numbers for number fields, dates for date fields, etc.
While working through or when finished on your conditions you can click on Preview to view a list of accounts the rule you are building will run against.
Add Actions by clicking
Pick an action type.
Each action type will have its own set of required additional selections. For this guide I've selected GenerateDocument which will generate a print services form to PDF and save to Patient Overview.
Select a Document from Print Forms (See guide here on how to Manage Print Services)
Pick a file category to use when saving the PDF to Patient Overview
Set a name. This is what the PDF will be named when saving to Patient Overview. Click Save
You can add as many actions as are required for your scenario. The GoRev Automation Engine will run each rule in order top down.
IMPORTANT - You must click Save towards the top left before you close out of this window.
What does the automation engine do with your rule
The automation engine will run all enabled rules once per hour throughout the day. It will ONLY RUN ONE TIME on any account the rule is configured to run against. In the example above, this rule would generate an itemized statement to Patient Overview and then send the patient a secured message via the https://portal.gorev.com system.
List of Available Conditions
A condition starts with selecting a field within GoRev. The list of available fields to select is massive as nearly all fields within GoRev data are made available for use within Conditions. A good way to learn how these values relate to each other is through viewing them within the Manage Print Services process.
