1. Welcome to VirtualHealth
Welcome to CCNC’s implementation of the VirtualHealth system! This system represents a great deal of
work performed by many of your colleagues to adapt a best-in-class care management system to match
the processes of CCNC and its partners. There was a strong focus in trying to present comprehensive
information in a clean, intuitive format and to make the system easy and rapid to use by reducing the
amount of free-text typing required of care managers, pharmacists, providers, and other key participants
in member care teams. Despite that, we know that everyone needs a little help and further explanation
now and then, so our sincere hope is that this guide meets your needs.

Please note: the system will continue to improve and evolve over time, as will this Help manual. If you
have suggestions for improvements either to this manual or the system itself, please submit them to:
______________. We hope you can quickly find what you’re looking for and that your VirtualHealth
experience is a great one!

2. The Portals: Overview
The VirtualHealth tool has five different portals available, although all portals draw from the same core
information about members and their care plans. This section provides only a high-level description of
each of the portals – the individual screens and fields within those screens will be described in more detail
later in this user manual.
• Care Manager Portal: The Care Manager portal will be the most-used portal. This is the
primary portal for managing the care of members, to be used by both care managers and
supervisors.
• Administrator Portal: The Administrator portal provides some unique functionality for
viewing and managing/transferring care manager caseloads as well as having special functions
for VirtualHealth team members and select CCNC super-administrative staff to manage
configurable elements of the system.
• Care Provider Portal: The Care Provider portal is the way that providers can access member
clinical history and review the latest care plan, assessments, and documents for the member.
• Member Portal: The Member portal is the means for individual members to log in
electronically to participate in their own care and communicate with their care team. The
VirtualHealth Member portal is not planned to be launched during the initial go-live but is
targeted to be made available in early 2019, after users have had a chance to get comfortable
with the Care Manager and Administrator portals.
• Caregiver Portal: The Caregiver portal is also likely to be deployed at a later stage, but it is a
portal that allows authorized non-members to access care plans and records for members for
whom they are facilitating care. For example, if a mother has several children in CCNC
programs, she would be able to access the information for her children from this portal.

2.1 Care Manager Portal Details
The Care Manager portal is designed to be intuitive and easy to learn for new users, but there are a lot of
different places you can go in the system, and lots of different ways in which information is presented.
The first parts of this guide will review some of the main structures and terms and provide a guide into
how to easily find your way back to familiar territory if you’re confused about where you are.

2.2 General Navigation of the Care Manager Portal


• CCNC Pinwheel Logo: CCNC’s logo in the top left of every screen is a key navigation tool. If you
click on this icon, it will bring you back to the main care manager dashboard (which is described
below). It’s unlikely you’ll feel totally lost, but if you do, click the pinwheel and it will take you
back to the normal starting point.
• Hello… [your name]: In the very top right of the screen, you should see text that says “Hello” and
has your name. Note: if this says someone else’s name, that means you are accidentally using
another person’s login. There is a drop-down arrow to the right of your name – this will allow you
to log out and log in with your own credentials. The other available choice from this drop-down
is “Profile.” Profile lets you review your own information as far as the system knows. This
information is maintained in the Enterprise Security System (OneLogin) so cannot be changed
here. If the information is incorrect, please contact your NAM (or Client Services for central office
staff) to request an update of your information.
• Selections Across Top: There are a standard set of icons and words across the top of the screen.
Starting to the right of the CCNC pinwheel, these include Admin, Records, Interact, Calendar,
Providers, Settings, and Help. Like the pinwheel, these should be available on all screens, and so
you can get to a specific screen you are looking for by clicking on the correct one of these from
anywhere in the application. The specifics of the information and options within each will be
described later in this guide.
• Selections Down the Side: Within different choices from the main sections across the top are
frequently choices along the side of the screen. For example, if you click Admin from the top, on
the left side of the screen, several choices are available on the left, including Clients,
Management, Locations, and Logs. These side choices will vary based upon which section of the
application you have selected from the top of the screen. In this guide, when we want to guide
you to a screen we will use the nomenclature of the choice from the top bar, with a > sign, and
then a choice from the left bar. For example, Admin > Logs would mean selecting Admin from the
top of the screen and Logs from the left bar.
• Tabs Within Selections: Many of the screens may have tabs available to present different views
of information relevant to the topic you are looking at. These will be to the right of the choices
on the left bar and will look a little bit like the tabs that stick up from manila folders. When you
select a different choice, it will highlight that tab as selected and change the view. An example of
this is within Admin > Clients, with Active and Inactive tabs that will display different members.
Similar to the above, if we need to call out a specific tab, we will use the pattern [Selection from
the Top] > {Selection from the Left] > {Specific Tab}.
• Quick Find Views: Many VirtualHealth screens have Quick Find drop-downs for long lists. If you
just click the drop-down, it will have a full list of all the choices and support scrolling. However, if
you type several characters, it will narrow the choices down to only those that contain what you
have typed. We may refer to this also as “type-to-select” because by typing a portion of the value
that you’re looking for, it makes it much easier to find the correct value to select. Please note: in
many of these fields, values will be displayed that contain the typed characters in the correct
Page 8

order anywhere within the value. For example, in the City field, typing “Durham” will still find
Durham. However, some fields – such as the member search in Admin > Clients, which allows you
to search by member name, will require all the characters from the beginning of the name. I can
find “Billy Blaze” by typing “Bill” but not by typing “ill” in the box.
• Search Options: Many of the screens have Search areas that allow you to use one or more filters
to either easily find specific items or to find sets of items that meet several criteria. The potential
search filters vary widely by screen, but several common rules are generally true:
o Search screens frequently come with pre-set items in the filters
o Many of the drop-down filters can be “turned off” for that specific attribute by clicking
the X button at the right of the selected choice.
o Some of the drop-down filters must have a choice, and so will not have an X, but will allow
another choice to be selected.
o When you change the selections in the filter, you will generally need to click a Search or
Find button at the bottom of the filters to execute a search with your newly-set values.
o The Reset button will return this search screen to its standard state, normally clearing all
X values and going back to standard choices for others. Note: this will not always be the
same as the choices that were showing on the screen when you first entered the search
screen – the way that you got to the screen may have populated some values that the
Reset button might change.
• A Download button will frequently be present and will create a downloaded Excel file that
has the results of the latest search included.

3. General Structures
There are a few common action buttons and information structures that will display on multiple screens.
Before we start walking through each of the screens, let’s briefly review these structures and cover what
they are called, as it may be confusing for new users which specific location we’re referring to if we
reference “I-Box” for instance and the user is not sure whether to look at the top of the screen (correct!)
or the right side of the screen (which is the Face Sheet).

3.1 Icons
Many screens have icons at the right of a line for items in a list. They normally allow you to act on that
specific record. If you hover over the icon, the title of the button will display.
• Case Notes icon (looks like a pad of paper with pencil): This icon allows you to add a Case Note to
the current member. It will pull up a case note window and let you record the case note.
• Move to Inactive/Move to Active: This icon is specific to the Admin > Clients screen and
will make a member Inactive for you, if clicked from the Active panel list. This means that the
member will no longer show up on your main list and can no longer be edited by you. However,
you will be able to click on the population tab and select no from the dropdown box of on panel
and click find, and from that panel click on icon to move that member back to an Active status.
• Modify (looks like a pencil): The pencil icon is one of the most common icons throughout the
VirtualHealth system. You use this icon to modify detailed information for the specific member,
provider, medication, or other item, depending on where you are in the system.

4. Landing Page
The landing page will be your home screen and will be the first screen you after logging in. The landing
page of the Care Manager portal provides quick access to various tools in the portal. Use the Toolbar to
navigate to the Admin, Records, Interact, Calendar, Provider, Settings and Help tabs within the system.

Tasks: When first viewing the task box you will be able to see the number of tasks assigned to you that
are either overdue or due within the next 7 days. If you click on the view tasks link the system will take
you to the management tab which – in general - will show the user all the open and closed task within the
system. When you click the view tasks link, it presets several of the search filters for you when it brings
you to the Tasks screen, specifically setting the date range for the next 7 days, and selecting task assigned
to you where you are the Primary (explained below). The task section provides detailed information on
the members’ tasks that have been created.

Inbox: The inbox is the messaging system within VirtualHealth. If you click on view inbox the system will
show you the unread messages that will give the user an update on any changes that have been made
within the system.

Client Calendar: The “Calendar” tool allows users to track events and tasks. Select “Calendar” from the
toolbar at the top of the screen. Select “Client Calendar” tab. Select client. If a client was not previously
selected, select client from the drop-down client search menu that appears. If a client was previously
selected, the “Client Calendar” screen for that client will automatically appear. If necessary, change the
selected client by using the client search drop-down in the top right-hand corner. Select monthly, weekly,
or daily view by clicking “Month”, “Week”, or “Day” in the top right-hand corner. Change the month,
week, or day being viewed by clicking the arrows on either side of the date. Alternatively, jump to other
dates by using the mini-calendar on the left side of the screen. Tasks that are scheduled for a specific day
will generally show up as events scheduled from 8:00 – 8:30am with the label “Tasks”. Once events are
added to the calendar and user has opened the “View Event” pop-up, user can perform the following
actions as necessary:

weekly view, click on the column for the day of the event. In the daily view, click a line.) The “Add
Event” pop-up will appear. Complete the fields in the pop-up. If user wants to also place the
event on his/her calendar, select “Include in My Calendar”
checkbox. Select “Add Event” to complete or “Close” to cancel
and exit. The event will appear on the monthly, weekly, and daily
calendar views.

o Note: The Start and End times will be populated based on


where user clicked the screen. Edit these fields as necessary.
o Note: The system may automatically generate events for
client based on other actions in the system, such as creating
appointments.
User Calendar: Located in the middle of the screen, shows all the tasks scheduled for that day. To add an
event for the current day, click a line on the daily calendar view in the center of the page. The “Add Event”
pop-up will appear. Complete the fields in the pop-up. Select “Add Event” to complete or “Close” to
cancel and exit. The event will appear on the daily calendar view in the center of the dashboard as well as
“Calendar/My Calendar” tab. This is like the My Task within CMIS.

o Note: The system will


automatically generate an event
titled “Tasks” on the task’s due
date for each task assigned to the
logged-in user.
Notifications: Located on right hand side of
screen, is a feed that shows any
changes/activity that have occurred with
members associated with CM.

5. Admin Tab Overview
5.1 Clients
Located on side blue ribbon, includes list of members associated with CM. Next to each member’s name
are buttons to view case notes, remove member from active case load, modify member’s demographics
and care team (you can hover over each icon and the system will tell you what it is for). Click on member
name and the member’s face sheet will open to the right with Quick Links at the top to quickly navigate
to Episodes, Interactions, Records, Risk, Tasks for that member. At top of member list, there is a Quick
Find box, start to type member’s name you are searching for and a drop-down list will populate based on
name being typed. Click on blue search box at top left of screen and search boxes will open with options
to search for members by Identifiers, Demographics, Records, Population.

5.2 Adding a Temporary Client


Clients are the patients that care managers serve. Not all Medicaid members will be loaded into
VirtualHealth, even if we have been sent their information from the State (if they are healthy, low-risk
members, we may not load them prior to them being referred for Care Management). The steps below
will walk you through how to add temporary clients to begin the care management process. Once a
temporary client is added to the system, a process will check against the full CCNC databases overnight
and if it finds that member, it will load their full record and merge information created on the temporary
member case merged with the client’s full record in VirtualHealth automatically. Select “Admin” from the
toolbar at the top of the screen. User will be automatically directed to “Clients” screen. Select “Add

8.4 Care Plan Auto-Population


Now that we’ve covered Assessments and Care Plan, we should note that if you have completed and
Submitted a Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) before you navigated to the Care Plan for that user,
you may see several Needs and/or Need/Problem combinations already there! VirtualHealth allows us
the ability to specify that certain Needs or Need/Problem combinations can automatically be added to
the member’s Care Plan based on specific answers in the CNAs. These are there to help you, not substitute
for your clinical judgment. It is also important to note that not all Needs and Need/Problems have been
mapped to potential CNA answers, so be sure to review auto-populated material and adjust, either by
adding additional Needs/Problems as warranted by the member’s case or deleting or closing additional
ones that really don’t apply in this particular circumstance or that the Member does not want work on
with you.
