The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a tool used by skilled nursing facilities to gather essential information regarding residents' care requirements, health conditions, and other relevant factors for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. EmLucy’s facility management, equipped with an integrated EHR system, simplifies and streamlines the MDS data collection process through its automatic scheduling feature.
Timely Assessments: The auto-scheduling functionality guarantees that assessments are performed promptly and efficiently, minimizing the time and effort needed for scheduling and tracking them.
Standardized Data Collection: The MDS provides a consistent framework for collecting data during clinical assessments of patients. The MDS forms mandated by CMS are seamlessly integrated into EmLucy’s EHR system, which standardizes data collection and enables the automatic scheduling of assessments based on both short-term and long-term needs for resident care.
Enhanced Communication: The integration of MDS assessments with auto-scheduling in EmLucy fosters improved communication among healthcare providers by establishing a shared language and dataset for assessments.
Data-Driven Insights: The combination of MDS assessments and auto-scheduling in EmLucy offers valuable data for analysis and quality enhancement initiatives. By evaluating MDS data, healthcare providers can pinpoint areas needing improvement and refine their healthcare processes.
