Account Management Monthly Meeting

This policy is applicable to all practices. This aims to help maximize practice workflows and realize the full value of the platform through open, ongoing, and transparent communications.

Each practice will be assigned a dedicated account manager upon completion of the implementation phase.

This will be presented on a monthly report card by the account manager.

2.0 Users

This policy is applicable to all practice users, including healthcare providers and non-healthcare providers who are employees of a practice contracted to use the WRS Health EHR and Practice Management platform.

3.0 Policy

  • If your practice feels that WRS Health may no longer be the right solution for you, we ask for the following steps to take place:
    • Notify your account manager at the earliest moment possible of any concerns you may have with the fit of our solution within your practice.
    • If workflow limitations are found to be an issue, allow our team to correct any issues through open and continued communications via training, and/or dedicated account management meetings.
  • THIRD-PARTY VENDORS:
    • Please note that all Third-Party Vendors will require 30 days notice of termination.
  • PATIENT DATA: Circumstances may arise where patients may contact you for a copy of their personal health record. Federal law also mandates that a provider keep and retain each patient record for a minimum of seven years from the date of last service to the patient. With that in mind, to secure your patient data, your site can request for a Patient Data Export by submitting a support ticket to WRS Health 30 days (recommended) before terminating services. The request must include a specific date on which the data export should be pulled from the system. Then, WRS Health will provide a digital 7zip file to the practice, which can be downloaded and saved to a local drive. The standard export will include csv files of patient demographic, billing, scheduling and patient notes for the entire contractual period the practice(s) used the service. It will also include html files of all encounter notes and PDF files of all documents within your system. Here are some additional details regarding your export:
    • These export files are named with WRS patient I.D.
    • The export is encrypted and compressed into the 7zip format. If you do not have a tool for reading 7zip files, there is a free download, available at http://www.7-zip.org/, in order to uncompress the files.
    • Please note that the export will NOT include medications, allergies, pharmacy, social history or insurance card information.
    • The export file also can NOT be customized for any reason, as it is a standard format.
    • The export fee is $1,650.00/each (if more than one file is required)
  • FAX PORT:
    • To preserve your existing fax number, you can request to port out your WRS assigned fax number by notifying your new EHR so they can request a fax port with their fax service provider. It is your responsibility to forward the associated information to your new vendor. If the vendor requires an LOA (Letter of Authority), a support ticket can be submitted with the request for information needed to proceed.

Access to PHI is regulated by State and Federal security and privacy laws. Any access to the WRS Health platform by unauthorized users of the system presents a risk for a potential data breach and illegal access to patient records therefore WRS Health requires strict adherence to this policy.

This policy comprises the guidelines for User Creation, User Audit and a list of Documents required for system access. WRS has the right to immediately terminate the user’s access to the platform if found to have violated this policy.

Access to PHI is regulated by State and Federal security and privacy laws. In addition, access to the WRS Health platform by unauthorized users of the system presents a risk for a potential data breach and illegal access to patient records.

2.0 Scope

3.0 Policy

  • USER CREATION:
    • All practice users, including healthcare providers and non-healthcare providers will be created directly by WRS Health personnel once necessary documentation is provided (outlined below in Section 4.0).
    • It is the responsibility of the practice to inform WRS Health of any and all new users or user deactivations to ensure accurate employee lists. Therefore, one person from the practice should be designated to oversee user creation and inactivation (the “Designee”). Should a Designee leave the practice or no longer have authority for these tasks, the practice owner/administrator will need to assign a new Designee by written notice to WRS
    • During your implementation and training period, your Designee can notify the WRS Implementation Manager of any new user(s) and they will assist you in the setup of their accounts. Once implementation is complete, your WRS account manager can be notified to assist in creating new user accounts.
  • USER AUDIT:
    • As part of business operations, WRS Health will conduct regular user audits. This audit helps with accurate invoicing and ensures the integrity of the platform. Based on the results of the audit, WRS reserves the right to immediately remove access to the platform by any practice employee, healthcare provider or other users that may once have had authorized access. This oversight of practice users requires regular audit, review, and management by both WRS Health and practice administrators. Additionally, WRS Health reserves the right to remove unauthorized users from the platform, at any time. Prior to removing any user, we will contact the practice Designee.
