Providers looking for electronic medical record (EMR) solutions know that long term care settings are very different from hospitals and physicians’ offices. EMRs developed for acute or ambulatory care settings have very different functionality from those designed for Long Terms Care (LTC) settings. They may not convert to long term care use.
This is why you should look for an EMR/EHR that is specifically designed for the clinical and operational needs of LTC settings. PointClickCare and MatrixCare are two to consider.
PointClickCare is designed for the long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) industry. This is a feature-rich, easy-to-use EHR solution for the LTC space.
It’s used by more than 15,000 senior care providers from small independent homes to multi-facility organizations and campuses across North America. It helps providers deliver better care and services while ensuring optimized revenue potential.
PointClickCare provides a subscription to clinical, billing and administrative modules. You can even assess marketing efforts through their referral management solution. It can be used on Windows and Mac devices and comes as a Web-based solution as well.
Users can track calls and activities via electronic recording to evaluate success in raising occupancy rates. It also has a Customer Relationship Management functionality, provides for pre-admission eligibility checks and monitoring for insurance coverage.
PointClickCare helps teams manage workflow, remotely track patient/resident compliance, check progress for practitioners and improve the quality of patient/resident care.
