Patient Identification of Infection Risk and Risk for Hospitalization

Main Office Software Version 6138 dated 05/02/2017 and Clinical Point of Care Software Version 2565 dated 05/02/2017 contain updates for identifying and tracking patients with an Infection Risk and Risk of Hospitalization.  In the Clinical Point of Care software, there is a new tab in the Care Management button in OASIS Start of Care,  Resumption of Care and Recertification and a new system “Risk” assessment button in Hospice CA for Infection risk.  Certain data entry fields within the comprehensive documents will flag the patient at risk for either infection or hospitalization.  The new tab will summarizes all the items that have been completed that are flags for a risk for infection or hospitalization. The clinician will review all flags and assign a risk level  of high, medium, low or none.   The Main Office software will have a new tab in Control Board/Pt Status called Risk/Triage/Alerts  that will allow agencies to filter for patients at different risk levels.  For those agencies providing non-skilled services and not utilizing the comprehensive documents patients at risk can be filtered and listed based on select items that can be found in the Patient Demographics/ Precautions, Alerts and Triage, the Home Management tab in Therapies and Personal Traits found in the Miscellaneous info screen. Additional enhancements will be coming soon to further assist agencies in their Infection tracking and Emergency preparedness programs and identifying and initiating interventions for those patient at risk for hospitalization or emergency department use.
