The DataMotion Direct Healthcare Provider Directory (HPD) is a standard feature available for healthcare professionals who use DataMotion Direct.
The DataMotion Direct HPD is an Address Book feature. The Address Book can be found in the Compose message window and in the Member Center. To open the HPD Search window from the address book, click the Access HPD… button.
The HPD allows you to look up providers’ contact information, which can be especially useful when you don’t know a provider’s Direct address or exact name. You can then add any providers to your address book, but you must click the Save button if you wish to save them in your address book. You can also add them to the To, Cc, and Bcc recipient lists when composing a message in the Compose message window.
Search Filters
Enter your desired search filter criteria and click the Search button.
You can search the provider or organization information, including the Name, NPI, Specialty, Location, Phone, and Fax.
When you enter text in the filter fields, only those HPD entries containing matching text will be displayed in the results. However, the text matching is case-insensitive and does not need to be a complete or an exact match; that is, you can enter a part of a name or number and the HPD entries containing the filter text you enter will be returned as a match. For example, if you enter “stein” in the Last Name filter field, the results will include Goldstein, Stein, Steinfelder, etc.
Note that the completeness of the search results depends on how the providers have identified themselves and the information they have supplied for the HPD as well as whether the information was obtained from the providers’ NPI data. For example, not all providers identify a specialty. Some Otolaryngologists may identify their specialty, but others may not. In these cases, it can be helpful to search for the specialty within the Organization Name itself; that is, you can enter “oto” in the Organization Name field to match organizations containing “oto” in their name (e.g., “Associated Otolaryngologists” or “Otolaryngology of Knowes County”).
When you click the Search button, it displays the results in the Search Results section of the HPD Search window.
You can refine your search criteria and click the Search button again to improve your results. To switch between the Search Results and the Search Filters sections, click the Search Filters bar at the top of the search window. To switch back to the results, click the Search Results bar at the bottom of the search window.
Search Results
To view provider details from within the Search Results view, select the more details button (…) on the right of the provider listing. This displays a Provider Details window with additional details about the provider, including NPIs, Specialties, Fax, and Role, if available.
Adding HPD Addresses to Your Address Book
After obtaining HPD search results, you can "import" them into your address book so you can find them easily next time.
To add HPD search results (including provider Direct addresses) to your address book, you will first select the providers in the HPD and add them to your address book, and then you can save them in your address book. You can also add them to the To, Cc, and Bcc recipient lists of a message in the Compose message window.
In the HPD search results, select the providers you want to add to your address book by clicking the checkbox on the left of the listings. You may select as many providers as you wish, or to select all search results shown, click the top-most checkbox.
After you select the HPD entries, you can add them to your address book using one of the following buttons at the bottom of the search window:
Add to Address Book: This adds the selected HPD entries to your address book and returns to the address book.
Add to To: This adds the selected HPD entries to your address book and returns to the address book with these new entries selected as message (“To”) recipients.
Add to Cc: This adds the selected HPD entries to your address book and returns to the address book with these new entries selected as message copy (“Cc”) recipients.
Add to Bcc: This adds the selected HPD entries to your address book and returns to the address book with these new entries selected as message blind copy (“Bcc”) recipients.
After you have added HPD entries to you address book, you can save them in your address book so you can find them easily next time. To save the addresses to your address book, click the Save button. If you do not save the address book, all unsaved changes (shown by green or red dots) will be discarded when you leave the address book. You can also discard the changes by clicking the address book Reset button.
Adding Addresses to a Message
After you have added users into the address book, you can select them for adding to a recipient list in messages by performing the following:
First click either the To, Cc, Bcc, and then clicking the Set in Message button. This adds them to the respective recipient lists in the message Compose window.
NOTE: Selecting the "Add to To", "Add to Cc", or "Add to Bcc" buttons from the HPD Search window will auto-populate these checkboxes in the address book.
You can also click the checkboxes above these columns to select all users displayed for adding to the desired recipient lists when you click the Set in Message button.
