Point of Care (POC)
Accurate resident information is vital to the operations of the long-term care provider. The collection and availability of resident information allows front-line workers to care for residents, clinical management to monitor care effectiveness, and billing staff to account for services delivered.
PointClickCare POC technology enables long-term care providers to effectively capture and distribute important resident information at or near the bedside. Deployed on kiosks, wall mounted-touch screens, and wireless laptop computers, POC offers functionality to mandate and expedite the collection of documentation and distributes this to all required stakeholders.
Providers using PointClickCare POC can expect to:
- Increase reimbursements with more accurate and complete collection of care service information
- Save time and avoid errors by automatically pre-populating MDS and other assessments
- Reduce copy-cat charting with information controls
- Free up staff to devote more time to resident care and provide relevant and timely information for front-line care workers
- Ensure documentation compliance
Care Documentation
PointClickCare POC module enables clinical staff to access existing patient information and capture new information at/near the place of care through a modern and intuitive interface (kiosks, wall-mounted touch-screens, or laptop computers). Entries are logged for audit and management purposes and the ease of data input greatly reduces documentation time and improves information accuracy.
Integration with Consuming Processes/Functions
Information captured in POC flows to downstream processes/functions, eliminating duplication of work. Real-time updates are available within the PointClickCare resident record and management dashboards. POC provides real-time alerts and auto-populates assessments (eg. MDS).
Workload Management and Monitoring
POC provides the functionality to distribute tasks to care workers based on role or shift. PointClickCare dashboards enable effective real-time tracking of care task completion.
