New Treatment Diagnosis Module – Updated for DSM-5
Priority: Medium - Update or change is coming; there is time to
implement
Feature Specifications
Modules/Areas Affected: Treatment Diagnosis Module
Summary and Expected Outcomes: The Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM-5) was released in May 2013, requiring broad changes to documentation and claiming
processes affected by this new set of diagnostic codes. Using the DSM-5 code set not only requires
changes at your agency, it has widespread effects on clinical documentation, billing and reporting.
CareLogic features are integrated with diagnosis codes throughout the application; and as a result, this
transition requires extensive and systematic development to maintain and extend functionality.
The CareLogic functionality in this initial release supports diagnosis documentation using DSM-5 with
the new Treatment Diagnosis Module. The billing and claiming part of DSM-5 functionality—along with
other system-wide changes—will be released when the new Treatment Diagnosis module is deployed to
production. These release notes only represent the new Treatment Diagnosis module, and future
release notes will detail billing and ICD-10 changes. In the meantime, CareLogic users should practice
setting up and using the new Treatment Diagnosis module in their Certification environment.
APA Message at Login
A required message from the American Psychological Association will be added to the CareLogic login
screen (see Workflow Impacts and Dependencies for details). This will appear in Certification systems on
4/22/2015 and will appear in Production systems on 5/6/2015. Note that the new Treatment Diagnosis
module will not be accessible in Production until the billing and other related functionality is released.
When does this change take place? Is it critical?
Effective Date: Certification: 4/21/2015; Production: 5/6/2015
Who is affected, who will use? Roles/Programs/Lines of Business: Clinical staff will use the new Treatment Diagnosis module when
entering psychological and general medical diagnoses for consumers. The System Administrator should
re-instance service documents containing this module before the new module is used (see Configuration
Information for details).

Configuration Information:
Transition from DSM-IV to DSM-5
As customers begin using the new DSM5 module in Production environments, continuity of DSM versions is
important. If users complete a Treatment Diagnosis module using DSM-5 codes for a consumer and then use
the DSM-IV module on the same consumer, it will interfere with how the data is pulled from these modules.
Once agencies transition to the Treatment Diagnosis DSM-5 module for a consumer, it’s crucial to diagnose
that consumer using the DSM-5 module.
Enabling the Module
The Treatment Diagnosis DSM-5 module will be automatically deployed to your system as a standard
service document module. However, this module will be inaccessible until customers sign the APA
contract related to permissioned users for DSM-5. After Qualifacts Support receives confirmation the
contract has been signed by the agency, they will enable the new Treatment Diagnosis module in that
agency’s Certification system and alert the agency that they can setup and use the module.
Configuring the Module
To use the new Treatment Diagnosis service document module for DSM-5, the System Administrator
must create a new instance or re-instance service documents currently containing the Treatment
Diagnosis module for DSM-IV. Re-instancing the existing Treatment Diagnosis module is the suggested
method, as this will enable the module to remain in existing workflows. For details on creating and
working with service document instances, refer to the CareLogic System Administrator User Guide Part
1.
See the Instructions section for information on setting and using configurations for this module.
Why should I use this?
Benefits and Efficiencies: We have made it possible for customers to transition from DSM-IV to DSM-5
in CareLogic on their own timeline, using service document instances and administrative settings. The
CareLogic functionality detailed in this initial release supports diagnosis documentation using DSM-5
with the new Treatment Diagnosis Module. We are releasing this module to your Certification
environments to allow agency staff to practice setup and use of the Treatment Diagnosis module with
the DSM-5 diagnostic codes and to determine what configurations make the most sense for your
agency.
Scenarios: After signing the APA Service Change Form for DSM-5 permissioned users, ABC Agency will be
able to begin using the new treatment Diagnosis module in their Certification system. Their System
Administrator will re-instance all service documents that contain the Treatment Diagnosis module and
set up instance configurations in alignment with the agency’s workflows and patient population. See the
configurations part of the Instructions section for more information on using configurations to
customize this module for your agency.
5 Proprietary Information: For Use by Qualifacts and Our Customers Only
How do I use this? How do I make it work? How do I report on this?
Workflow Impacts and Dependencies: This module must be used in order to bill claims based on DSM-5
diagnosis codes. The timeline for switching to DSM-5 codes for payer authorizations or state reporting
requirements is a state-specific decision, and some states already require that DSM-5 codes be used
when requesting authorizations for all dates of service. The new Treatment Diagnosis module will be
available for use in Production systems once the billing functionality is released in Production (estimated
release by July 2015).
CareLogic users cannot use this module in Certification or Production until their agency has signed the
APA Service Change Form. Users will not be able to implement this module in their Production
environment until all billing-related components are complete (communicated via future release).
A required message from the American Psychological Association has been added to the CareLogic login
screen. This message states:

The APA message will be in certification systems until the Treatment Diagnosis module for DSM-5 is
deployed to Production systems, and will remain on the login screen in customer production systems as
required by the APA.
Customization: There are instance configurations and organization configurations for this module (see
Configuration Information for details).
Instructions
From a client’s ECR, navigate to the service document containing the Treatment Diagnosis DSM-5
module.
DSM Diagnosis Update
There have been multiple changes to the DSM Diagnosis Update functionality to standardize how this information is recorded and tracked.
On the Treatment Diagnosis landing page, a separate frame exists to display DSM Diagnosis Update information
6 Proprietary Information: For Use by Qualifacts and Our Customers Only
To access the DSM Diagnosis Update entry page, an Edit button has replaced the Update Diagnosis Date and Diagnosed by link. It has been moved to the top of this box next to the date and timestamp, so it is more visible and accessible.
Client DSM Diagnosis as of [date] now includes a timestamp, which can be revised (in addition to the date) on the DSM Diagnosis Update entry page. The addition of the timestamp to the diagnosis update reflects changes in healthcare standards where recording both date AND time is important for report data
The Description free text field on the Diagnosis Update entry page is now called Comments, and the Description field will only appear (as a drop-down menu) if External Diagnosis is set to Yes
External Diagnosis enhancements (see instructions below for images and details) If Yes is selected for External Diagnosis:
o Diagnosed By changes to Recorded By o The Description field appears as a drop-down menu with a Descriptor list
Descriptor list type is Diagnosis Update Description Examples for Diagnosis Update Description descriptors: where diagnosis was
made (Referral, Diagnosis From Primary Care), why diagnosis was updated (Additional Information Added, Modification to Diagnosis), and description of who made the External Diagnosis (Primary Care Provider)
Instructions for Diagnosis Update functionality:
1. Click Edit on the Treatment Diagnosis landing page next to Client DSM Diagnosis as of
date/timestamp
2. Enter the Effective Date/Time of the diagnosis update and ensure AM or PM is selected
accordingly

box.
Create New / Create Copy and Create Read-Only Copy
The user has the ability to create a new Treatment Diagnosis, a copy of an existing Treatment Diagnosis,
or a read-only copy of an existing Treatment Diagnosis. The read-only copy does not allow editing of a
copied Treatment Diagnosis. This gives agencies the ability to privilege out who can modify a copied
Treatment Diagnosis (see Scenarios for suggestions on using this feature).
When creating a copy or read-only copy, the Copy Existing Diagnosis field will appear and provide a
drop-down menu with existing diagnoses to choose from, including the logged in staff member, the date
of diagnosis and the diagnostic code. Please note, the most recently signed Treatment Diagnosis will be
on the top of the list in the Copy Existing Diagnosis dropdown.
