New and Improved Referral Management System (RMS)
The Texas Tech Referral Management System (RMS) will be upgraded with a new user interface
that will go live on September 30th. RMS staff members in each clinic are scheduled to receive
training, starting next week with the Ophthalmology clinic going first. They will be assisting
us with testing the changes to the new system.
The new changes will allow staff manage referrals more efficiently, as well as allow clinic
administrators to retrieve better data from the system. There are no changes to the system that
will affect the provider workflow.
The next phase of the RMS roll-out will include the ability to receive external referrals electronically.

CareManager Expansion into Cardiology Clinic
We are excited to announce the upgrade of the CareManager Patient Registry! CareManager will be
expanded to the Internal Medicine Cardiology clinic that will be using the new Cardiovascular
Risk Reduction module.
CareManager is currently being used by Family Medicine and Internal Medicine General Medicine-clinics
to pursue population health initiatives and close priority health gaps in care for our patient population.
Thank you everyone who attended training on the new module; we were able to meet our deadline of
September 30th for DSRIP!
