ReLiMed Time Tracker allows users to track time during an encounter. Users can start the timer, pause and continue and then update the encounter time to elapsed time. This helps keep track of Chronic Care Management (CCM) encounter times. System also provides a Dashboard screen for CCM enrolled Patients, that gives time spent on a patient per month. This helps the office complete any pending chronic care management encounters

For tracking CCM Times the above set up is needed. When the provider gets ready to make a call to the patient for chronic care management, following steps are needed:
CCM Timer will stay ON as long as you are navigating within the patient chart. If you navigate away from the Patient chart menu at the bottom, the timer will go away and when you return, you will start from whatever was previously saved for the encounter time.
If the Encounter Summary Display mentioned above is set up, the Patient details with the Time spent are shown for CCM encounters which comes in handy if an audit is one
On the Dashboard screen you will see the times spent for the calendar month for each patient that is enrolled with CCM. This allows to you work on patients that need the CCM performed for the month.
