Bill Only Implant process

unknown

Hello Team

we are currently dealing our Bill Only implants process on paper and the whole process is complicated. we are using Lawson and EPIC

I would like to know how are other hospitals handling this process in a smarter way or what is the industry best practice

Does Lawson or Epic have an electronic version or any capabilities to handle bill only implants from the time rep fill the form to the payment.

Is it a best practice of Giving Lawson numbers to all the Bill Only items ?

Does GHX have any module to help us to make this process electronic?

Thanks and appreciate your time

GHX did have a "Case Expert" (I think that was the name) program that would allow vendors or users to scan and submit bill only cases.



We did not ever go past anything other than a sales pitch, so I can't offer more.



If you are perpetual inventory in your ORs, then yes, Epic Optime does have a way to transmit reqs to Lawson. We are not perpetural in the OR so that's all I know.



We do give everything in the OR a Lawson item and the ORs have a Bill Only req loc. They create the Bill Only requisitions with procedure info - the locations are flagged by Attribute and there is a separate PO100 job run daily for them.



There is an IPA that will read the vendor information from a custom table, change the issue method on the PO to the rep/email/fax on the table and release the PO. A second IPA follows about an hour later and receives all released PO lines with open quantities where the requesting location has the Bill Only attribute.
