What is the difference between a screening (Part 1) and a risk assessment (Part 2) for the purposes of calculating the Screening, Risk Assessment, and Plan of Care to Prevent Future Falls measure?

A falls screening is an evaluation of whether a Managed Long Term Services and Supports plan member has experienced a history of falls and/or problems with balance or gait. A falls risk assessment includes a balance/gait assessment and one other assessment component and should only be performed for members with a documented history of falls (at least two falls or one fall with injury in the past year).

How do I add new users to the system?

User Management is a feature in MACPro that works in conjunction with the CMS EIDM user identification and authentication system. To request access to the MACPro application, a user must first go to the Enterprise Identity Management Portal (EIDM: https://portal.cms.gov ) and create an EIDM ID. Once an ID is created, the user must request access to the MACPro application by way of an EIDM role. Once their EIDM role request is approved, they may access MACPro via the link https://macpro.cms.gov  and enter their newly created EIDM credentials to log in. Once in MACPro, the user must request their MACPro roles and attributes via My User Profile under the Records tab. MACPro user role requests are approved by the State System Administrator, CMS System Administrator, or CMS Role Approver. Further detailed instructions can be found in the reference documents posted to Medicaid.gov (https://www.medicaid.gov/state-resource-center/medicaid-and-chip-program-portal/medicaid-and-chip-program-portal.html).

What does the error message "Session Timed Out" mean?

The system automatically times users out and sends an error message when a user does not navigate the application within 60 minutes. When a 'Session Timed Out' error message appears, a loss of data may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to continually save your work every ten minutes.

Please take special note, writing in a text box for 60 minutes does not count as refreshing the page. You must select save or navigate through the application to avoid being timed out.
