Public welfare agencies are often required to report information about consumers and services to federal, state, local, and other oversight or funding authorities. Despite HIPAA standardization, the convoluted formatting and content requirements for these compliance reports are often difficult for agencies to satisfy using home-grown software. MASTRR™ Solutions is the ideal application to help agencies meet numerous regulatory compliance and reporting needs because it assists agencies in collecting and organizing information about consumers and services.

In the state of Pennsylvania, for example, under the Department of Public Welfare's Consolidated Community Reporting Performance Outcome Management System (CCR POMS), county mental health agencies are required to submit consumer and encounter data no more than sixty days after the end of each calendar quarter. MASTRR™ Solutions eases the burden that these county agencies face by providing a CCR POMS Reporting module.

This module allows mental health agencies in Pennsylvania to identify the services for which reporting is required, to map the services to the appropriate reporting codes, and to generate the reports for submission. The module identifies the consumers and services that must be included in the submissions for the selected reporting period, and it notifies the user of any data that may be flagged as an error by the Department before the submissions are generated. It also maintains a history that helps prevent agencies from preparing duplicate submissions.

County agencies that use the MASTRR™ Solutions CCR POMS Reporting module have consistently submitted quality reports to the Department.
