One of the most powerful tools in the CNExT program is the ‘Help’ function. CNExT Help integrates online manuals, including the Collaborative Staging Manual, FORDS with the surgery code index, CNExT User Manual, SEER Program Manual, SEER EOD Manual, NAACCR Data Dictionary, and SEER MP/H tools. In addition, CNExT also incorporates individual state-specific data acquisition manuals (DAM manuals).
CNExT Help System has been greatly expanded for Collaborative Staging, offering over 1800 pages of site-specific help for the 15 Collaborative Staging fields. customer quote
Our new Smart Help system displays coding manuals in an always-visible panel next to the abstracting screen. With Smart Help, coding manuals follow along with the abstractor, always displaying the manual page appropriate to the field being coded.
Memorized all of the codes and don’t need Smart Help? Just turn it off. CNExT gives users the power to control their data entry environment. Even with Smart Help turned off, assistance in CNExT is always just a keystroke away. Pressing the F1 key at any time during abstracting will bring up a context-sensitive help window, providing codes and information for the field being edited at that time, including site-specific codes.
Registrars can chose which coding manual will appear first in the help system, such as FORDS, NAACCR, SEER or California. The coding manuals are cross-referenced to allow easy comparison of different coding rules.
Help topics can be accessed on screen, or topics can be printed as needed and retained for future reference. The user can also bookmark frequently-visited pages for quick reference.
