ADL Data Collection is now incorporated within EmLucy

Incorporating Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) into healthcare systems enhances efficiency and reimbursement rates for healthcare providers in various ways. EmLucy is a facility management system with an electronic health record (EHR) designed for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) that includes an integrated ADL feature. This functionality is beneficial to SNFs, particularly during patient assessment periods.

1. The integrated ADLs in EmLucy enable healthcare providers to accurately document patients' daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. This leads to thorough and precise documentation, which can positively impact reimbursement rates.

2. The integration of ADLs in EmLucy streamlines workflows by minimizing the need for separate documentation processes. This not only saves time but also decreases the chances of errors or omissions in the documentation.

3. EmLucy facilitates more comprehensive patient care by providing a holistic view of a patient's health and well-being, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.

4. By centralizing documentation, the integration of ADLs into EmLucy enhances communication among healthcare providers. This ensures that every member of the care team has access to the same information, fostering better collaboration and decreasing the likelihood of errors or misunderstandings.

5. Thoroughly documenting ADLs in EmLucy helps healthcare providers secure appropriate reimbursement for their services. The system automatically populates ADL data into Medicare and Medicaid Minimum Data Set (MDS) forms, enhancing financial performance and ensuring patients receive necessary care.

By leveraging EmLucy’s capabilities, healthcare providers can enhance patient outcomes while optimizing the financial performance of their facilities.
