We are seeing a trend in the long-term care industry towards the use of mobile devices as a tool to manage patient care. Many providers are seeking alternatives to the traditional manual processes involved with capturing and accessing patient data.
A recent McKnight’s article, Quality Care at Hand, discusses the benefits that tablet solutions offer providers in the long-term care industry. “For us, it's important to leverage technology that allows us to do our jobs more accurately and efficiently. Handheld devices have allowed us to stay on top of our day-to-day responsibilities, while keeping resident care our number one priority,” said Edgewater Director of Nursing Angela Holman. http://www.mcknights.com/quality-care-at-hand/article/220757/
Over the past several months, we have worked to gather feedback from our current customers’ about their plans to use mobile devices within their organization. In a large percentage of the clients we spoke with, there is a strong interest in equipping their users with tablets to improve response and turnaround times. As a partner that strives to deliver, PPS is committed to providing innovative solutions for long-term care providers to achieve improvements in performance and productivity.
In an upcoming release, PPS will enable the use of our Web-based Referral Management System (RMS) with tablet devices to empower liaisons in the field with access to unique performance tools for marketing, census management and admissions. By connecting online to RMS via a tablet device, providers may enter referral information/documentation online, begin the assessment and approval process, check bed availability and more!
