Initial Intake Process

Participant Look-Up (PA01)

Prior to registration into Cornerstone, the Participant Look-up is used to verify the existence of a participant ID number by searching the Master Index to find a participant who may have previously been enrolled in Cornerstone.

The screen is used to copy minimal demographic information on a participant who is already enrolled in Cornerstone to the local computer files. A "copy-in" of this data is necessary prior to performing a shared data Wide Area Network (WAN) look-up.

Use of the Participant Look-up reduces duplicate entry of participants. For this reason, the Participant Look-up must be performed before a new participant can be enrolled into the Cornerstone system.

Please refer to Chapter 3 "Participant Screens" under "3.1 Participant Look-up (PA01)" for more information.

For information about resolving duplicate participants in Cornerstone, please refer to Chapter 3 "Participant Screens" under "3.21 Participant Duplicate Browse (PA21)."

Participant Enrollment (PA03) - Add/Edit Address as needed

This screen is used to enroll a new participant into the Cornerstone system and to capture demographic information for a new or existing participant. If the participant is already enrolled in Cornerstone, this screen is used to view and update demographic information.

The Participant Enrollment screen (PA03) is completed only once for each participant participating in Cornerstone programs, but can be edited thereafter. participants may be made active in several programs from the same enrollment record.

The processing within this screen includes checking for duplicate enrollment; assigning a unique, permanent statewide participant ID number (when enrolling a participant for the first time in Cornerstone); assessing potential eligibility for Cornerstone programs; and recording a participant's date of death.

The user has the option to select a Wide Area Network (WAN) look-up on this screen by pressing the F2 shared data key. This will copy-in and add to the local data any additional information found in the statewide search of the participant look-up function.

From this screen, the "Address" pop-up window is used to record address and telephone information by pressing F9.

Every BCCP participant must have an "Address Type" entered as "R" to enable this data to be included in the biannual Minimum Data Element (MDE) submissions to the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP).

Please refer to Chapter 3 "Participant Screens" under "3.3 Participant Enrollment (PA03)" for more information.

Program Information (PA15)

The Program Information screen (PA15) must be completed for every program in which the participant will be participating. This screen is completed in order to determine eligibility for a program, based on rules for household size, annual income and age. Eligibility for BCCP is verified each year.

The existing category of "A" will now become "CDC BCCP". This category will be for women with income at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). The category code of "XP - Expanded BCCP" will be for women with income above 250% FPL. The category code will be automatically entered once the PA15 - Program Information record is saved.

Participants can be transferred between IBCCP Agencies within the state utilizing Cornerstone. The Case Manager in the new location must initiate the request for transfer using the "Request for participant Transfer" form provided in Appendix E of the IBCCP Manual. The current site will have 5 working days to complete the transfer process unless there are outstanding bills or participant results that must be entered into Cornerstone.

If the current site must enter outstanding bills or participant results into Cornerstone, the new site cannot request a transfer until all bills and results have been entered. The current site will have 30 calendar days to complete all bills and obtain necessary results. If bills and results are not entered within 30 calendar days, the site will need to contact IBCCP state staff.

Once all bills and results have been entered by the current site (or 30 calendar days elapses) the new site may then request the transfer in Cornerstone using the Program Information Screen (PA15). Once the site requests the transfer on the PA15 screen, the new site requesting the transfer must wait for the End of Day (EOD)/Beginning of Day (BOD) process to complete. The morning that the BOD process completes, the agency requesting the transfer will see the participant is active on the PA15 at the new site.

The initial contact date entered by the new site will be the date the participant is activated and not the date previously entered at the old site.

Within 5 calendar days or sooner if requested by the state IBCCP staff contact, the Nurse Case Manager or designee at the site where the participant was terminated will submit copies of the participant's entire Cornerstone SV06 report (Procedure History Inquiry) and the two most current Breast and Cervical Cancer Data screens from the PA30 and any other pertinent abnormal data that is necessary to continue services for the participant. These are to be sent to the case manager at the site where the participant has relocated.

Please refer to Chapter 12 "Program Information Screen (PA15) for All Programs" under "12.1 General Information and Enrollment" for more information.

NOTE: After saving this screen, the status will automatically be set to "A" (active). It is not necessary to record activities on the Activity Entry (SV02) screen to activate participants in BCCP.

Participant Med/Insurance (PA05)

This screen is used to determine if a BCCP participant has Medicare, Insurance, or other types of insurance. BCCP does not provide services to women with All Kids, Medicare Part B, or any insurance that provides partial payment for breast or cervical cancer screening services. The user may add Medicare and Other Types of insurance information as it becomes known but, the user is not allowed to add, edit or delete Insurance (INS) records. When the user enters information, the record may be edited, deleted, and used for inquiry.

Please refer to Chapter 3 "Participant Screens" under "3.5 Participant Med/Insurance (PA05)" for more information.

VIEW PARTICIPANT ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY INFORMATION (PA42)

This screen is used to view a participant's All Kids < 200% (formerly Medicaid), All Kids Expansion, Cash and Food Stamp information and is updated daily through the All Kids Import Process. Please refer to Appendix F "All Kids Import Process" for more information. BCCP does not provide services to women with All Kids, Medicare Part B, or any insurance that provides partial payment for breast or cervical cancer screening services.

Caseload Reassignment (AD17)

This screen is used by an administrator (supervisor) to assign newly enrolled (unassigned) participants who have a program record in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP), Family Case Management (FCM), Healthy Families of Illinois (HFI), Healthy Start Case Management (HSCM), and/or Early Intervention (EI) to a case manager.

This screen is used to change a participant's case manager and used to display a case manager's current caseload. Reassignment of a case manager's entire caseload to another case manager may be accomplished on this screen.

Please refer to Chapter 9 "Administrative Screens" under "9.17 Caseload Reassignment (AD17)" for more information.

BCCP Health Assessment (AS06)

This screen is used to record or assess the needs of all participants for additional services by completing designated assessment types. Screen can also be used to inquire on previously completed assessments.

The following assessments are required for participant category "A" (active) in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP):

  • BCCP Assessment type is an Initial Assessment and therefore only one is allowed per participant.

NOTE: Cannot be added on a transfer participant, must use BCCA Assessment.

  • BCCA Assessment type is only allowed if an initial BCCP Assessment type exist OR the participant is a transfer.

The BCCP assessment contains pertinent information about the participant's breast and gynecological history. The dates of past Pap tests and mammograms, if any, are vital to the record keeping of BCCP and for statistical analysis of the MDE submission information. Only one assessment at the time of the initial screening is needed if all previous screening dates are entered accurately. Agencies that need to update information on the assessment are encouraged to enter a note on the Case Notes (CM04) screen.

NOTE: The RACE Assessment for BCCP has been deactivated on the Assessment (AS01) screen as of Cornerstone Version 9.30. All race data should be entered on the Participant Enrollment Screen (PA03) from now on.

The BCCP Health Assessment (AS06) is a feature of the Cornerstone system that is available for use by the BCCP program. Please refer to Chapter 7 "Assessment Screens" under "7.6 IBCCP Health Assessment (AS06)" for more information.

Case Notes (CM04)

This screen is optional and may be used at any time. This screen is used to enter and view case notes for participants that are related to a service or a case management activity. Specifically, it is used to document services provided by the case manager.

This screen is available for use in all Cornerstone programs. Case notes are available to other users in the local agency who have security access to this screen, unless the note is marked "confidential". If marked "confidential", only the user who entered the case note and their supervisor will be able to view the notes. The IBCCP Data Manager does not have access to case notes and information from case notes is not extracted for the biannual MDE submissions to the NBCCEDP.

The case notes must be written in a clear and focused manner. Notes are free-form and may be used to record information about the service or activity provided to the participant. There is no limit to the number of notes that may be entered.

NOTE:  Once case notes have been saved they can not be edited or deleted. If errors occur, new case notes must be entered in order to correct the errors.

Please refer to Chapter 6 "Case Management Screens" under "6.4 Case Notes (CM04)" for more information.

Service Provider Selection (RF01)

This screen is used to record/establish a referral for a participant to an outside provider for a specific type of service. Once a referral has been generated, certain information can be changed (appointment date/time and comments). When this screen is saved, the selected number of copies of the referral will be printed.

NOTE: BCCP must be able to estimate the amount of clinical dollars obligated, but not yet billed. Users are required to complete one Service Provider Selection screen per screening cycle (BCS/CCS). When diagnostic services are required, one service provider selection should be completed (BCD/CCD). Users should enter the provider ID for at least ONE of the participant's known providers. If the participant has no known provider or a provider is yet to be assigned to the participant, the provider ID is left blank and will automatically default to a number established by the clinic on the Clinic Administrative Data (AD14) screen, which is usually their own clinic ID number.

Please refer to Chapter 5 "Scheduling and Referral Screens" under "5.7 Service Provider Selection (RF01)" for more information.

Participant Referral History (RF03)

This screen is used to browse the referral history of a specific participant. The history is displayed in reverse chronological order by the date of referral (i.e. the most recent referrals are displayed last).

Detailed information may be viewed for any of the referrals by placing the cursor on the appropriate referral and pressing F1. The Participant Referral Detail window will be displayed. This screen is for inquiry only.

Please refer to Chapter 5 "Scheduling and Referral Screens" under "5.9 Participant Referral History (RF03)" for more information.

After Exam(s) by Health Professional

Agencies may hold all information, including screening test results, until all data is available. However, data entry must begin as soon as an abnormal screening test result is received to utilize the Cornerstone tracking tools and reports for case management.

Breast and Cervical Cancer Data (PA30)

This screen is used to add, update, or inquire on the BCCP screening cycle information for a participant. It also provides diagnostic and follow-up information for the participant with recommendations for future screening.

Please refer to Chapter 3 "Participant Screens" under "3.26 Breast and Cervical Cancer Data (PA30)" for more information.

Service Entry (SV01)

This screen is used to add/edit service information any time during and after service is provided. This screen is used for entering the actual services that have taken place for the specified participant, regardless of whether the services were delivered at the agency or by an external provider. A screen layout of the Service Entry screen (SV01) with the Procedure Specific Information pop-up window is provided.

When procedures are entered for women who have a Program Category Code of "XP", the Payor Code will default to "S - State". Payor Codes available for this category will be "S" or "O - Other".
