Did you know you can change the finding level of a message after it has been sent?
 
If you know a message has been sent with the incorrect finding level, you can correct that by using the Forward Message option. To do so, login to the Veriphy Web Tool, locate the message in Message Center list, click the icon to open the Message Details screen and follow the steps below:
  1. Click the Forward Message button, located below the Activity Log.  You will be taken to the Forward Message to New Recipient screen. 
  2. Enter the original recipient in the To field.
  3. Select the reason for forwarding the message from the Reason drop down list. If your reason for forwarding is not listed, select Other and type your reason in the blank field below. 
  4. Make sure the Close Original Message box is checked. If it is not, both the new message and the original message will remain open and the OC will be alerted until both are closed.
  5. Select the correct finding level from the Finding drop down list.
  6. Click Forward Message.

Keep in mind that forwarding the message creates a new one which will have a new unique 6 digit message ID.  
 
If you find that you have to frequently forward messages in order to correct the finding level you may want to speak to your Account Manager about changing the default finding level.

Did you know that you can email new OCs to be added to Veriphy?
 
In addition to calling on open messages at Backup, our Veriphy Support staff assists with maintaining your Veriphy Directory.  You can send new OCs to be added directly to the Support staff by sending an email to your facility specific Veriphy Data email address, which is listed on your Data Maintenance policy.  After creating the OC profile in Veriphy, the  Support team faxes the profile packet put together during implementation to the new OC to fill out and return. 
 
When emailing requests to Veriphy, please be sure to include the following for each OC:
  • RIS ID (or unique identifier and type, i.e. HIS ID, NPI)
  • First Name, Last Name
  • Specialty
  • Office Phone
  • Fax
  • Pager with Carrier ( if available)
Veriphy Support will add the OCs within 3 business days and send an email back confirming those additions, along with the Veriphy IDs to enter into PowerScribe if that applies to your facility. 

If you do not know your Veriphy Data email address, please contact Veriphy Support or your Account Manager. You can always send requests to profiles@VeriphyData.com. Just be sure to include the name of your facility in that email.

Did you know you can schedule an Overdue Messages Report to be sent to you automatically?

The Overdue Message Report lists any open messages for your group and provides the retrieval information and length of time Outstanding. In addition, it provides instructions for possible actions to be taken on each message, such as re-sending the notification, marking the message as received or calling the physician.
 
Overdue MSG RPT
The report provides a quick look at the messages requiring attention without having to log in to the Web Tool. You can choose to have this report sent to your Email or Fax at a regularly scheduled day and time. This may be helpful at the beginning or end of each work day, or perhaps first thing Monday morning.

To schedule the Overdue Messages Report, select Profile from the ToolsTab drop down list and scroll down to the Configuration Settings section.
  1. Select the appropriate check box next to Send Reports By to specify how you wish to receive the report. You can choose to receive the reports via Email, Fax, or both. The Email address or Fax number used is that listed in the previous sections of your Profile.
  2. Next to Send Reports On, select the day(s) you want to receive the report. For example, if you want to receive reports on every Wednesday select the check box.
  3. Select the time you would like to receive the report from the Send Reports At drop down list.
  4. Click Update Report Settings to save the information and begin receiving the reports at the scheduled time.
If you do not wish to receive the report at a regularly scheduled time, you can always generate the report at any time by clicking the Send Overdue Report Now button.

WhatsComingWhat's Coming 
 
Coming SoonNuance is planning a point release of their industry leading CTRM solution, Veriphy 4.1. Nuance will send out periodic notifications regarding the Veriphy 4.1 upgrade with additional information on the new features in an effort to assist you in planning for the pending upgrade.
 
When
 
The release is scheduled for the evening of Friday, April 16th 2010. The upgrade will occur between 10 pm and 2 am Central Daylight Time. During the upgrade window, certain components of our solution must be taken off line and the system will be unavailable for usage. More detailed information will be provided as the upgrade date approaches.

Desktop Compatibility
 
Veriphy 4.1 will introduce a new version of the Veriphy Desktop (v4.1). After the upgrade, Nuance will only support versions 4.0 or 4.1 of the Veriphy Desktop.  Upgrading from version 4.0 to 4.1 of the Veriphy Desktop is optional, but strongly encouraged to take advantage of new features. In the meantime, the 4.0 version of the Veriphy Desktop will be compatible with the new server release and will continue to be supported.

Partner Compatibility
 
If you are using a partner application to create Veriphy messages, no client upgrade is required. All existing partner integrations, including PowerScribe 4.8 and 5.0, RadWhere 2.0 and 3.0 and AGFA nConsole will continue to operate after the upgrade. As part of our release process, these partner integrations are tested extensively in our QA Labs to ensure backwards compatibility.
