IRep Question

During account selling at one of the busy FP offices in my territory today, a staff member informed me that the call back nurse is having a torrid affair with one of the doctors. Should this nurse be Affiliated with the doctor in iRep?
 




I took a few calls concerning iRep today, a few people had trouble accessing the training through the ppd gateway. Missing links, one person completed the training and after doing the survey it booted him back to slide 148. I hope everything goes smoothly when iRep rolls out this weekend.

Gotta love the reporting BS that comes with it, like entering everybody in the office who attends a lunch. Today I said hi to the guy delivering mail to an office and had to affiliate him with a prescriber.

Have any of the morons who dreamed up this crap ever worked a day in the field?

Not only the nurse, but her gyno, her manicurist, and the lab guy who picks up the specimens. That's the "expectation".
 






Its becoming impossible to detail these days. I had a lunch with an office that does 1 per year. Never had a lunch their before. Who comes in to eat. two surgeons from the building, one of the guys son who was home from college. I had to ask 30 people what they did at this place by the time I figured out who to affiliate, i had already broken 5 OEC rules. Its only a matter of time.

1. There will always be people who eat and don't listen to "30 minute medically relevant conversation"
2. We won't ask the surgeons to leave the lunch "No food for you" means never come back to our office.

And, magically, everyone who works in the office is now an HCP, except the new doctor who has no ABS, or an established physician whose ABS is "excluded". Guess MD just isn't good enough anymore. Meanwhile, the receptionist walks by with a plate so overloaded she could feed the Chinese army.

Good point. Scheduler, Patient Records, Lab, Recept,..... all HCPs. iRep is an absolute joke. Can not believe what we are actually doing. At least we are required to do the 2 hours of entering data immediately after the luncheon and not at night. After feeding 300 lb receptionists and 70 lb chart runners just take the afternoon and enter the data.

9-11:30 Office calls
11:30-1:30 Feed the Bears
1:30-4 Data entry

If thats what they want, give it to them.
 


I had a lunch the other day with an office that does them 1 per year. I walk in to the kitchen 24 people just gorging themselves on food. One doctor had already spilled the chicken parm on his white coat, another was filling a giant cup with soda. I introduce myself and he says "What products do you have"? I say product A and product B. He says I don't use any of those but talk to doctor X over there with chicken parm on his coat. I ask why and he said that he was a rheumatologist who shares the office on T and TH. By this time half of the staff has chewed and screwed, I'm running around trying to get the sheet signed and figure out who to associate and who not to associate. My question is, do I report myself to OEC?

OK, all the posts are scary and accurate so far. As long as management understands the amount of time this is going to take to get it up and running, I guess that's OK. I just hope and pray that the data we enter, the CARMA clean up we do, will not result in next January having to enter the data again and delete the same ten year old addresses which pop up into our systems every so often. I firmly believe whoever devised this system was either never in the field themselves or has not been in the field for years.

To the poster above, did I miss something? Seems like you are implying we require a signature from each person attending lunch. I just don't recall seeing that as mandatory - only for MEI programs. Please confirm.
 


Basicly every person you enter in CTE for a meal expense has to entered in IRep as well. This is for the birds. Way, way too much busy work. And, if you have a DM like mine, we are required to spend no more than $10 per person on food. So, it's even more busy work than the typical $25 per person meal. And, you have to affiliate each staff member with a provider.

Don't worry, it won't be long before we have to fax in a sign-in sheet for every "transfer of value". The CIA was devised by a group of lawyers on both sides of the government-industry complex, so it's meant to provide job security for all the legal beagles in perpetuity. Like every bureaucracy, it feeds on paperwork and "documentation" regardless its impact on business efficiency. DSMs will be compliance officers, and not much else as all the reporting requirements pile on. Did you notice how frantic management got over making sure all those LERN modules were completed on time? That's our future, for as long as we last with the company.
