Pathfinder contains over 1,000 evidence-based algorithms. These algorithms evaluate patient
data, and direct care recommendations to the MTMPath and EHRPath care portals.
MTMPath and EHRPath
Pathfinder care portals are configured for medication (MTMPath) and care (EHRPath)
management. Portals are web-based, and require no additional infrastructure for the ACO. A plug-
in model for seamless integration with practice workflow.
Medication Reconciliation
Pathfinder has SureScripts connection capability for medication reconciliation. Enter your
patients' demographic information, and you can use MTMPath or EMRPath to contact SureScripts
and obtain a medication profile.

CSS SOLUTION FEATURES BENEFITS
With your goals established, we select Smart Data algorithms from the Action Plan library that
will identify evidence-based gaps in patients' profiles. Smart Data algorithms allow pharmacists
and care managers to focus their recommendations and activity. From the selected Action Plans,
CSS will help you identify the minimum data set of clinical information required to conduct the
patient evaluation in a systematic, reliable way. Your entire medication management program is
configured in a clinician friendly, SOAP Note format.
Numerous Delivery Model
Options
Because the Pathfinder system is web-based, your ACO can select from a number of delivery
models.
Licensing: If you have a staff pharmacist and care managers, you can license Pathfinder system to
coordinate and document all MTM activity
Delegated: If you don't have staff, let our clinicians do the work for you
Homecare Network: CSS has partnered with Pharmaceutical Care Integration (PCI) to build local
networks of homecare pharmacists. PCI pharmacists visit high-risk patients in their homes,
reducing readmission risk, increasing adherence, and reducing associated costs.
CareRxConnect
Customized Pharmacy Care
Integration (PCI) Program by
CareRx
CareRxConnect in partnership with CSS identifies members most at risk for medication non-
compliance and hospital readmission, and provides them with the appropriate face-to-face
education and coaching to improve and maintain health. Medication management is conducted
in the patient's home, empowering their caregiver to improve adherence. The barriers to good
health are identified and eliminated.
CCTP-Specific
Programming
Supports Medicare's Care
Transition Initiative
CSS' software helps Community-based Care Transition Program (CCTP) coalitions and their
network of hospitals to track patients and document required interviews and other data, as
mandated by CMS. CSS' technology gives CCTP coalitions the ability to offer each patient access
to a Personal Health Record. Created under the Affordable Care Act, Medicare's CCTP seeks to
improve care for Medicare beneficiaries leaving the inpatient hospital setting and going to other
care settings, such as a private home or nursing home. The focus is on improving quality of care
and reducing hospital readmissions.

consulting services. Now that Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a required component
of the Medicare Part D prescription program, today, more than ever, there are new opportunities
for independent and consulting pharmacists to offer this service to their patients. The Medication
Pathfinder Network provides users with the education, software, and marketing support that
they need to provide consistent and documentable MTM. If you already have a consulting
practice, think about Medication Pathfinder software for long-term care consulting; coagulation
management or lipid clinic management; and collaborative therapy practice.
Pharmacy First Collaboration
Pharmacy First has entered into an agreement with the Medication Pathfinder Network to
provide the Pharmacy First member network with Medication Therapy Management (MTM)
services. Through their partnership, they have developed a complete program for members who

iDealWellness Empower Your Patients
Our iDealWellness™ Program empowers patients to take an active role in their own healthcare to
improve treatment outcomes and lower medical costs. Pharmacists can become an important
member of the collaborative healthcare team by providing wellness coaching using MTMPath™, a
web-based clinical documentation software that allows users to efficiently and effectively review
a patient's medications to assess appropriate therapy and optimize outcomes. MTMPath's user-
friendly interface guides pharmacist coaches through the data collection, patient assessment and
therapy recommendation process so that care can be accomplished in a standardized and
evidence-based manner. Coaches can provide a poly-pharmacy review of all prescribed and over-
the-counter medications and develop programs that focus on specific health issues or drug
management programs.
iDealTherapy
Retrospective DUR
Compliance
Clinical Support Services, Inc. (CSS) has developed iDealTherapy™, a program that assesses a
patient’s current drug therapy and determines if a more ideal medication may be a better value
for the condition being treated. Unlike many retrospective Drug Utilization Review (DUR)
processes, iDealTherapy incorporates current clinical information provided by the prescriber with
pharmacy claims data to evaluate drug therapy utilization. iDealTherapy supports retrospective
utilization management review of patients at risk of overutilization of the opiod class of
medication. It reviews pharmacy claims and plan eligibility data monthly, then flags patients of
concern by using predetermined selection criteria such as the number of prescriptions filled in a
number of pharmacies filling prescriptions for that patient. Medicare plans receive a data report
to determine the best course of action for that patient.

EMRPath
Every Physician Can be a
Patient-Centered Medical
Home
Clinical Support Services (CSS) offers a software system, EMRPath™, that allows any physician
practice, large or small -- with or without an EMR -- to take major steps toward becoming a
patient-centered medical home (PCMH). EMRPath is a web-based, electronic medical record
software program designed to include workflow management and decision support functionality
for disease management purposes. Built around a robust patient registry, EMRPath has an easy-
to-use graphical user interface that allows users to enter, organize and manage clinical
information obtained from administrative claims and clinical data. Each program is constructed in
the S-O-A-P (subjective-objective-assessment-plan) Note format familiar to all clinicians. Included
in each account is AlertPath™, a messaging system that alerts clinicians when a patient’s current
health status falls outside of evidence-based care. A reminder system is also embedded within
the program that tags each patient record with an appropriate follow-up date. Case managers are
notified daily of patients who require follow-up. Users of EMRPath can provide their patients with
PMR Smart™ – an online, patient-oriented personal medical record. PMR Smart gives access to
objective clinical information (lab values, personal medication record, etc.) in a read-only format.
PMR Smart can be configured to allow patient entry of home-based clinical monitoring values (i.e.
blood pressure, weight, etc.). Physicians who are not yet prepared for EMR functionality within
their offices, CSS can provide clinical support using its VirtualClinic™ software tool. By faxing
progress notes, lab reports and other data to our offices, CSS can assist physicians by providing
them with a robust case management system that meets specific PCMH certification
requirements.
