Configuring Pega Care Management general application settings
To specify application settings that are required for your organization's needs, use the Care Management Application configuration page. Configure the settings that are listed below.
Other settings are based on whether you selected Care Management or Utilization Management when you set up your implementation layer. For more information, see Prescribed implementation path.
The following topics are included in this section:
- Changing your application perspective
- Configuring the patient verification setting
- Adding members to the care team list
- Extension rules for the Care Management Configuration page
Changing your application perspective
When you create your application, you select either payer or provider perspective. However as an organization, you might want to change the perspective.
If a provider organization used an earlier version of the application and did not customize the labels, for example, changing Member to Patient, they might now choose the Provider option. In this case, when changing to the provider perspective, all references to member are automatically changed to patient.- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- Click the Other settings tab.
- In the Application perspective field, click Provider.
- Click Save and then click Close.
Configuring the patient verification setting
You can specify whether you want to perform Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) verification as part of your Schedule call and Schedule assessment tasks. This compliance activity ensures the protection of member health and identity information.
Because some organizations have other processes to ensure HIPPA compliance, this setting gives an organization the opportunity to remove the verification step from the Schedule call and Schedule assessment tasks.- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- Click the Other settings tab.
- In the Require member verification in task field, click an option to specify whether or not you want to perform member HIPAA verification as part of your tasks.
- Click Save.
Adding members to the care team list
During implementation, you might want to add more user roles to the default list of internal care team member roles who interact with the patient. For example, your non-clinical care management representatives might be asked to engage with patients. In this example, you add the role of CM User Rep to the internal care team list.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- Select the Access roles for internal team tab, and then click the Add a row icon below the Access role field.
- In the Access role field, select a name from the list.
- Click Save.An individual must be assigned to the specified access role in order for the access role to be displayed in the Pega CM Care Manager portal. For more information, see Access roles.
Extension rules for the Care Management Configuration page
Based on your organization's needs, you can extend the configuration rules and save them to your application rulesets. For example, you might want to add a new case type or you might want to add the client name in the other settings.
- In the header of Dev Studio, click .
- In the following table, use the section rules in the PegaHCCMF-Landing class (shown in the table below) that correspond to the tab of the configuration page that you want to extend.
You can use the following extensions to manage additional configurations such as a new case type or work basket configurations through the Care Management Configuration page. The details that you configure on the landing page are accessed through the Declare_CM_ENV data page in the application.

Work classes | CMAConfigWorkClass_Ext |

The details that you configured on the landing page are saved in the PegaHCCMF-Data-Settings instance. Any new configurations that you add on the landing page by using the above extension points should be saved in the PegaHCCMF-Data-Settings data instance so that they are available for use in the application. Use the following extension data transforms to update the new configuration details in the PegaHCCMF-Data-Settings data instance.
Rule name | Rule class |
