      What field in the MFN_M02 message would dictate what the staff person is such as OT, PT, MD, DO, RN,….  Mckesson Star Folks are stating that the STF:4 field which is affectionately labeled “staff type” is where they place the Clinical Group. This is part of their base code. Any modification otherwise would be a customization.  In the particualar case I am dealing with, everyone has MD in that field……In my opinion, the clinical group should be placed into PRA:2 labeled Practitioner Group and Staff Type should be placed into STF:4.  Anybody have any insight????

          I tend to agree with you, but I can also tell you that McKesson has been doing it that way for years.

          We implemented Pathways Homecare back in 1999, using HBOCHI 2.2 (I think, we don’t do Home Health anymore) and we had the same discussion.  The field you prefer was used more generically, like D for Doctor or S for Staff.

          I had to write it off as one of those vendor interpretation idiosyncrasies….
