CCMS 5.0 includes an updated user interface with Microsoft standard navigation to increase care management effectiveness and ease of use. The release also continues to enhance CCMS’s comprehensive, member-centric view by allowing case managers to add member self-reported medications in addition to the list already populated from pharmacy claims. In addition, the reminder log now has a preview area that expands the ability to sort provider and facility data.
