CABS

 

We are excited to announce the PILOT launch of a powerful new feature in the new CRICE system:
CRICE Appointment Booking System (CABS)

This pilot phase is critical for testing various features, refining user experience and incorporating feedback prior to launch to the wider industry. 

Your participation is critical to shaping the final product and we appreciate you taking the time to implement this game-changer feature to control and monitor rep access in your facility.

Important Note :

As agreed with management, the following supplier companies will be participating in this pilot phase. Please note that this list of companies is subject to change, as additional companies may be added until the final launch.

Pilot Company reps will use CRICE Appointment Booking System (CABS) to schedule appointments (that are not yet booked) with immediate effect. 

  1. Baroque Medical
  2. Medhold
  3. DISA Vascular Distribution 
  4. Stryker 
  5. Vertice Healthcare
  6. Marcus Medical

We anticipate a 1-3 month pilot phase before we launch the final product to the wider industry.

Please see information below on how to implement CABS. Several short training videos are provided for your convenience.

How will the CRICE Appointment Booking System (CABS) work?

1. Pilot Companies Representatives will use their CRICE Applications (Online, Mobile: android, IOS, Huawei) to make appointments with both clinical and non-clinical hospital staff, referred to as the 'Appointment Person' or AP.

2. As agreed with management; reps will be allowed to book 15 minute appointments only and if a longer period is required, reps would need to make multiple consecutive 15 minute bookings.

3. The Appointment Person (AP) receives an email notification with following:

  • Company and Rep details including contact information
  • CRICE Level of Access (White - 1, Blue - 2, Green - 3) awarded to Rep
  • Reason for Visit
  • Products that the company sells that will be sold at the requested appointment
  • Buttons that allows AP to ACCEPT or DECLINE

4. All parties receive an email with AP decision to either Accept or Decline appointment. If declined, AP person will provide a reason.

5. If appointment is accepted; all parties will be able to 'Add to Calendar' if they wish.

How to use the CRICE Appointment Booking System (CABS)

Pharmacy Managers (Primary HPOC) and Gatekeepers (Secondary HPOC) can view all appointments made by all pilot companies CRs across the facility in the CRICE HPOC Applications (mobile and online).

  1. Select the “Appointments” tab to view all CR bookings made with all clinical and non-clinical personnel across the hospital. Simply search for a CR name or company name.
  2. Select the 'Calendar' tab to view bookings by date, making it easy to track upcoming visits.
  3. View the 'Reason for Visit' and 'Products' relevant to that appointment and make relevant deductions (eg - product not on formulary).
  4. Contact the CR and/or AP to discuss further and/or to request attendance at the meeting.

 

Integration of CABS into CRICE Scanning Process

  1. The existing QR Codes that are already in use will continue to be scanned by all Pilot Company CRs so there is no need to print and/or post any QR Codes.
  2. CABS has been integrated with the CRICE Digital Access Card scanning system as follows:
  1. When a Pilot Companys CR scans the check-in code the system checks (in the background) if the CR has booked an appointment using CABS.
  2. If appointment was booked using CABS the system proceeds to permit access as normal.
  3. If appointment was not booked:
  •  A pop-up message appears informing the CR that they have failed to make a booking and that access may be denied in future.
  • The pop-up also requires them to add a Reason for Visit in real-time
  • Pharmacy Manager (Primary HPOC) and Gatekeepers (Secondary HPOCs) receive a check-in email with the 'Reason for Visit' in real-time and may intervene immediately, if need be.
  • Access will not be denied for failing to make a booking using CABS at this stage until we get feedback from HPOCs as part of this piloting process.

 

Verify Supplier Company Registration

The new CRICE system allows Pharmacy Managers and Gatekeepers to verify if the Supplier Company has been vetted and registered as a bonafide company requiring access into hospital facilities.

Bonafide companies are issued with a CRICE Company Registration Certificate and only then given access to the CRICE Platform to enrol their CRs.

The CRICE vetting process and Company Registration Certificate does not replace hospital specific vetting processes and is typically one of many criteria hospitals require prior to permitting supplier companies to access facilities.

Very Important: The company certificate only confirms that the company meets compliance requirements; it does not mean CRs employed by the company have completed CRICE Training and have a Digital Access Card.

HPOCs can verify company registration status as follows:

  1. Access new mobile or online CRICE CAMS HPOC Applications
  2. Click on the 'Verify Company Certificate' tab
  3. Enter the company name or the Company's CRICE certificate number to confirm if a valid CRICE certificate has been issued.

Verify if a CR has a valid CRICE Digital Access Card

1. PMs and Gatekeepers may check individual CR status as follows:

  1. Online (new.cricecams.com): Click on  'Check Learner Status' tab
  2. On mobile
  • Click on burger menu on top left corner and then on 'Verify Company Certificate' button
  • Click on 'Check Learner Status' button

    3. Enter the CRs email address in lowercase or Registration # (as appears on CR digital access        card)

    4. If CR does not have a valid digital access card then they have gained unauthorised access and you may:

  • Deny access on the basis that they have not completed critical training and practicals, not taken vaccinations and have not signed legal assurances that protect the rights and well-being of patients,  hospital staff and CRs .
  • Very Important: please use AI Helpbot or send an email to cricecams@masoom.co.za to report all attempts to gain unauthorised access into your hospital facility. We will monitor such attempts and facilitate CRICE Enrolments.
  • Please request the CR to use AI HelpBot (see below) to enrol into CRICE.

How Pharmacy Manager (Primary HPOC) can add Gatekeepers (Secondary HPOC)

The PM champions CRICE Implementation but CRICE implementation requires teamwork and the PM relies heavily on gatekeepers (also called secondary HPOCs) to control and monitor CR access. Gatekeepers can be clinical or non-clinical staff who frequently encounter CRs because of their role or strategic positioning within the facility. 

Important: Gatekeepers have full access to the HPOC mobile and online CRICE HPOC applications.

The PM can request for staff to be added as Gatekeepers by filling out the following form
[Request For Additional Gatekeepers]
