Important Update! New E-Prescribing Available Soon
As you may already know, Foothold Technology has partnered with DrFirst to bring our customers a new and exciting AWARDS E-Prescribing feature in 2020. On January 7th we presented a preview of the new feature and outlined our transition plan. If you were unable to join the webinar on January 7th (or if you would like to watch again), click here to access the recording.
Once AWARDS passes through the final DrFirst Certification process, which we expect to begin shortly, we'll share more information with you including the AWARDS E-Prescribing Registration Worksheet which we'll use to begin the transition process.
As a reminder the transition plan will look like this:
Register: Return registration worksheet to your Foothold Customer Success representative.
Train: Join one of our twice weekly training sessions.
Set Go-Live: When all of your users are trained, set a go-live date.
Enjoy!: Your Foothold representative will configure your database and make the switch.
Configure PDMP: After the transition, get credentials from your state and register your Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP).
IMPORTANT! All transitions completed by March 31st will have the EPCS registration fees waived. After March 31st, registration is $150 per prescriber.

As we have done in previous months, we are continuing to make available a new set of useful features and functions to users of AWARDS. As always, this round of upgrades is provided free of charge to all AWARDS users and is described below. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Help Desk. We hope these enhancements improve the way you use AWARDS and provide services!
Deployment Date: 1/15/20
FormBuilder ReportBuilder - Permission Access Adjustment
Currently, when generating FormBuilder ReportBuilder reports, the Form drop-down on the FormBuilder ReportBuilder Settings page displays forms located in modules/features the user may not have permission to access. With this month's enhancements, we've made a change so that the Form drop-down only displays forms located in modules/features to which the user has permissions access. For example, a user who does not have the "Display Chart Records Discharge Button" data entry/access permission set will not be able to run reports for forms located under the Discharge menu.
New York State PSYCKES Consent / PSYCKES Withdrawal of Consent Forms - Now Available!
The New York State PSYCKES Consent Form and PSYCKES Withdrawal of Consent Form are now available in the FormBuilder's Download Shared Forms feature. After downloading the forms to your database, you have the option to make edits to them as needed.

Tip of the Month - Automated Keyword Scans for Progress Notes / Log Book
In an age where information can be accessed immediately, it's important that communication around the health and well-being of the people we serve doesn't get waylaid. With that in mind, AWARDS provides two features that can alert you to client records that may possibly describe situations where a client is intending on harming themselves or others, or where an adverse incident has occurred.
The Progress Notes Keyword Nightly Scan feature sends nightly messages to users with the corresponding internal audit message permission when the contents of a progress note written that day contain an alert keyword. Which keywords are scanned for is based on a default list of incident and substance-related words; however, that list can be configured by program type. To request changes, contact the Help Desk via AWARDS Messages.
TIP: Don't check your AWARDS Messages every day? No problem. Users with the "Receive External Email Notifications" exception override permission can choose to receive external email notifications for Progress Notes Keyword Nightly Scan messages.
The Residential Logbook Keyword Nightly Scan feature sends nightly messages to users with the corresponding internal audit message permission when the contents of a Reception Desk > Program Log Book entry dated today or yesterday contains specific keywords. These keywords are pulled from the same default list used for progress notes, but unlike for progress notes is not configurable.
NOTE: The default keyword scan list includes: 911, suicid, harm, hurt, kill, fight, danger, drink, drug, rape, cocain, heroin, marijuana, marihuana, crack, pot, angel-dust, angel-dust, alcohol, methadone, barbiturate, amphetamine, cannabis, hallucinogen, lsd, pcp, inhalant, and popper.
TIP: AWARDS identifies progress notes with words starting with any word in the default keyword scan list. For example, when AWARDS scans for "suicid," progress notes containing "suicide" and "suicidal" are identified. If you want to identify different variations of a word, we recommend using only the first part of the word.
