DEA CSOS Pilot Conference Call August 16, 2002
Agenda • Pilot Overview: Pilot Organization and Scope • Phase II: Results • Phase III: Philosophies/Goals • Phase III: Accomplished Milestones • Phase III: Proposed Participants • Phase III: Development Options • Phase III: Approach • Phase III: Timeline • Phase III: Where Do We Go From Here? • Phase III: Questions…
Phase II: Results • A total of 27 certificates were adjudicated with 20 certificates retrieved by CSOS participants and 5 completed test plans were received from AmeriSource-Bergen, McQueary Bros., North Carolina Mutual Drug, Mallinckrodt, and McKesson. • Issues identified during testing: • Notarization of both POA and Registrant was noted as potentially difficult • Bulk enrollment for organizations practicing central ordering would be very burdensome
Phase II: Results continued • Changes to DEA Anticipated Standards and enrollment processes are being developed that address these issues, affording significant time savings to the applicant. • Bulk Enrollment will be allowed • CSOS Coordinator will serve as LRA (discussed in more detail at August 20, 21 meeting)
Phase III: Philosophies/Goals • Philosophies: • Divide and conquer • EDI 850-oriented, but not exclusive of other technologies • Evaluate anticipated standards • Goals • Leverage existing systems – complete gap analysis • Evaluate compatibility/impact on anticipated workflow • Identify anticipated production deployment costs • Identify cost savings - capture workflow time to complete
Phase III: Accomplished Milestones • Milestones: • 850 Transaction Sets Worksheets • 850 committee decision on signature approach (external to orders vs. wrapped around orders) • Future Process Flow Draft • HDMA Survey to determine platforms planned and presently in use • Pilot participants surveyed to determine trading partnerships/roles for Phase III testing. • Work In Progress: • Test framework under development.
Phase III: Proposed Participants continued • Endo will test revised enrollment process (CSOS Coordinator). • Wal-mart testing bulk enrollments. Anyone else interested in testing automated bulk enrollment process (we can provide a VB script)? • Capital Returns– Test Returns with McQuery Bros.?
Phase III Development Options: • Option One: Work with vendor/existing infrastructure • Advantages: • Leverages existing infrastructure and tools – quicker time from test to implementation • ID gaps in current implementation • Disadvantages: • Availability of vendor software? • Option Two: Develop own code to generate or receive/validate 850. • Advantages: • Some code available that can be “tweaked” • Disadvantages: • Not working with existing infrastructure – may not get good idea of implementation costs • Option Three: Hybrid
Phase III: Approach • Divide workflow into teams • Select areas to work with partner • Team A: Purchaser: • Test Objective 1: Key Exchange Process • Test Objective 2: E-222 Generation Process • Test Objective 3: Transmission Process • Test Objective 6: Receiving Process • Team B: Supplier: • Test Objective 4: E-222 Receipt Process • Test Objective 5: Order Validation Process
Phase III: Where Do We Go From Here? • Certificate Extension Revisions • Changes made to facilitate automatic certificate validation. • Download new certificate – simple 5 minute process - detailed instructions will be provided. • Developer’s will need certificate profile/extension information – will email and distribute at next week’s conference. • All “Purchasers” need revised certificate
Phase III: Where Do We Go From Here? • Distribute Revised Test Objectives/Test Framework next week (Margaret) • Teams work with partners/vendors to develop project plan (plan of attack). • Which process(es) will you test? • What tools will you use? • What approach will you take? • Submit project plan to mleary@pec.com by Sept. 13, 2002. • Compiled results distributed to group/teleconference to discuss approx. Sept. 30, 2002
