Skilled Nursing Facilities
Skilled Nursing Facility
Operators and administrators of Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) are under intense scrutiny by federal and state regulators, payers, and consumers. WoundExpert advances SNF wound care best practices for improved resident quality of care, better financial results and improved healing outcomes. WoundExpert addresses the market-driven and government-mandated challenges that SNFs face in today’s constantly changing environment.
Key Features Include:
Risk Mitigation
WoundExpert uses the Braden Scale to help identify your population at high risk for developing nosocomial pressure ulcers and recommends risk-appropriate plans of care. By identifying the high risk residents and initiating preventive measures, WoundExpert provides a powerful means of reducing nosocomial wounds. WoundExpert extends your resident risk profiling by including Pain, Nutrition, and Fall Risk Assessments complete with care plans.
Real-time prevalence and incidence reports, filterable by unit or floor, can be run for any time period with a single click of the mouse. Eliminating the traditionally resource intensive methods for generating these reports leaves your wound care team with more time for clinical care.
Litigation Avoidance
WoundExpert integrates and supplements SNF Minimum Data Set (MDS) documentation, providing detailed resident wound tracking – from assessments and care planning through final outcomes. WoundExpert’s comprehensive documentation facilitates SNF litigation preparedness by demonstrating the detailed, chronological sequence of care provided by your wound care team.
Regulatory Compliance
WoundExpert makes it easy to comply with CMS and state Department of Health documentation requirements, as well as onsite inspections. All supportive Tag 314 and survey documentation like assessments, treatments, and outcomes can be easily viewed and analyzed ensuring high standards of care.
Profitability
WoundExpert’s wound and treatment tracking allows wound programs to standardize patient care for better cost containment and improved clinical outcomes. The combiniation of wound specific cost reports with our aggressive pressure ulcer prevention program will allow you to effectively utilize limited staff resources, thereby helping your SNF operate more efficiently and improve bottom line financials.
Operational Flexibility
WoundExpert’s scheduler is an invaluable asset to assure the documentation of all resident wound encounters. Additionally, the calendar feature ensures recurring follow-up observations necessitated by the treatment protocol are not overlooked.
Improved Communications
WoundExpert supports the generation, customization, and retention of communications to Primary Care Physicians, external service providers, and family members who require disclosure, progress toward healing, and intervention status.
