What About Clinical Protocols & Escalation Rules?
Practice specifies escalation protocol preferences (method and frequency of communication) by issue:
☐ Urgent Pain☐ Depression☐Medication Non-Compliance☐Medication Side-Effect☐ New Provider
☐ Appointment Needed☐ Transportation Needed☐ Environmental Problem☐ Dietary Need☐ Shelter Required
Upon discovery of an urgent / life threatening issue, patient is told to dial 911 or to visit nearest ER/ Emergency practice contact is notified via automated secure message, direct phone call, or other preferred method.

Program Implementation - Challenges
How Does My Practice Receive Non-Urgent Information?
Report are delivered to practice via secure message:
- Activity Report: practice receives list of patients who received 20+ minutes of
CCM services and summary by type of call activity. Used for billing purposes
- Care Reports: practice receives a PDF monthly for each CCM patient that
highlights of new patient needs, action steps, and details of each call. Used for
updating patient care plan.
As we progress together, the practice has other options in Phase II:
• Receiving PDFs after every call / contact
• Grant access so care coordinators can upload PDF to medical record
• Full interface for more frequent and “user friendly” information
• Direct integration to Greenway system via API
