New Skilled Nursing / Narrative Section – Progress Towards Goals

With the October 18th, 2016 clinical update there is a new tab at the top of the narrative section of skilled nursing assessments called “Progress Towards Goal.”  We added the section because we were hearing feedback from agencies stating that CMS is wanting to see that the nurse is reviewing the goals and documenting such.  We decided to make it a separate section, not only for the reason above, but it will soon tie into the interventions guides (care steps) recently added to the software.  If you election to use the intervention guides, and updates are made to the intervention guide items or its goals, the information will flow directly into the new narrative section.
