● Still no Therapy Cap extension process - What is next?
○ According to the APTA the first opportunity to address the hard cap will come when Congress takes up a spending bill that must pass in order to keep the government open after January 19.
○ However current news outlets are reporting that there may not be a spending bill passed this week due to disagreements over immigration and DACA, so that means no extension to the Therapy Cap.
○ We have to wait an see.○ In the interim, run Medicare cap reports regularly.○ Make sure patients above the cap receive and sign an ABN,
if treatment continues, in case a bill is passed but is not retroactive.

Creating Alerts from Allergies and Contraindications
© 2018 Raintree Systems, Incorporated
● TVIST has a section to document allergies, and also patient specific
contraindications and precautions.
● Precautions and contraindications have always been case specific, and
allergies are only visible if the PMH is accessed.
● This raises a patient safety concern, as significant issues may be overlooked,
or not even visible to other providers.
Creating Alerts from Contraindications
© 2018 Raintree Systems, Incorporated
● A new column has been added to the Contraindications/precautions section on
TVIST to allow a provider to create an alert for that item
● When this is selected an alert with the subtype of “Contraindications” will be
created when the note is signed off.
Creating Alerts from Contraindications
© 2018 Raintree Systems, Incorporated
● By default this alert type is set to
show only when a note is
opened, but this can be adjusted
in the alert setup
Creating Alerts from Contraindications
© 2018 Raintree Systems, Incorporated
● The alert will be created, and
now will show for all providers
when they open a visit record.
Creating Alerts from Contraindications
© 2018 Raintree Systems, Incorporated
● If the alert needs to
be more specific,
you can choose to
edit, and add
additional filters
such as the case
that it needs to
display for
Creating Alerts from Contraindications
© 2018 Raintree Systems, Incorporated
● Creating alerts from contraindications is currently available in the Early
Adopter service pack
● Next step: Create an option to create an alert for allergies documented
in the PMH.
