 Nearly 60% of the time, facilities find that residents have not completed admissions forms in their entirety.
Most residents enter Long-term Care (LTC) directly from a hospital, usually due to an unplanned event, such as a fall or other health issue. In this situation, families and/or agents are under extreme stress to pull together all the documents needed to complete the paperwork for their loved one to be admitted. In addition to the actual application, during pre-admission there can be a dozen or more types of documents that have to be completed. Currently most of these documents are paper based, in different formats, and various configurations. To ensure that no forms or signatures are missed, an admissions solution should automatically generate required documents based upon admission type.

The CVT Software/LincWare partnership was one of seven companies selected to present new products in the Peak Conference “StartUp Zone,” a new initiative by LeadingAge to introduce unique technology to C-level management of organizations serving long term care.
Admit+ is the first admissions and digital management platform with ADDS (analytics, decisioning, documents and signatures). Admit+ is a commercial off the shelf (COTS) solution which provides customized forms per the specific community, serving as a referral decisioning tool, contract generator and notification workflow engine. Access to the Admit+ solution can be a PC, tablet or mobile device. Admit+ improves profitability and cost-effectiveness using data from resident admissions. By capturing the critical personal, financial information and clinical data before admission, communities can use the Admit+ Analytics/data and Decisioning Module to quickly identify the right residents and avoid accepting those that aren't a good fit. Admit+ automates document completion and capture from pre-admissions through discharge, including electronic signatures. Admit+ provides analytics as a result of resident data that is captured during the pre-admissions and admissions process. This includes clinical data from the EMR as well as existing and new personal data, demographics and financials. Having data that can be acted upon, provides invaluable business intelligence. With it, communities can track trends, monitor quality, accountability and service. “The business intelligence gained from Admit+ becomes a management tool, provided in a collaborative dashboard to share information in real-time,” explained Darren Mathis, chief executive officer, LincWare.“With faster, more appropriate admissions, lower overhead and material costs, productivity efficiencies, Admit+ ultimately reduces compliance risk, assures proper reimbursements, and improves profitability,” CVT Software works with long-term care communities to reduce hospital readmission rates, lower compliance risks, and protect reimbursements by offering software and technology products that streamline the continuum of care transition process, to make it easier and more profitable.

Long-term care executives often ask how Admit+, an Electronic Resident Record (EER) solution differs from an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) or an Electronic Health Record (EHR). It’s easy to mistake the terms as they sound similar and then differentiating them from an electronic forms solution for resident admissions adds an entirely new distinction. The short answer is that, designed correctly, an EER solution will reduce hospital readmissions risks by only admitting residents you can care for. First, let’s distinguish between EMR, EHR, and E-forms: EMRs are digital versions of a doctor’s patient chart and include clinical data related to a specific patient however the information cannot be shared with other members of the care team easily on a computer network outside of that particular practice. In that regard an EMR is not much better than a paper chart.EHRs focus on the total health of the patient— and include all clinician’s notes on a patient and “can be created, managed, and consulted by authorized clinicians and staff across more than one healthcare organization.” In both cases, the digital record contains only medical data, with limited insurance and personal information thrown in. When a patient is referred for admission to a nursing facility, these records are transferred to a nursing community, usually in paper, but sometimes as a fax (still paper) or a pdf which has to be printed out (again, still paper). Admissions staff still have to manually enter all the prospects’ information, not just once, but multiple times to populate the numerous forms required for application and eventually, admittance. E-forms are digital forms that collect information in a common repository for sharing between organizations. Designed well, they capture the right data, in the right order, creating a data flow that takes the guesswork out of paperwork. Admit+ takes e-forms to an entirely new level to help your facility select the right candidates, improving the residents' level of care, increasing their chances of going home, and reducing your hospital readmission rates. Admit+, LincWare’s ERR solution, is a digital admissions and management platform that provides an inclusive, scrolling digital e- form that includes all forms and data relative to the prospective resident’s finances, insurances, personal history, demographics, assigned agent (Power of Attorney). Fill once, populate many: Admit+, today’s electronic solution for admitting residents into nursing communities, allows information to be entered once, and it is populated in every relevant form. With Admit+, signatures are collected in a batch and it is populated in every signature field. Logic is built into the forms such that care level and insurance information triggers the appropriate forms based upon admissions criteria and forces staff to complete each and every section required before moving onto the next. Used as prescribed, Admit+ eliminates any opportunity for error and ensures the right documents are completed and signed at the right time and that only appropriate residents are admitted. Admit+. Manage Admissions Right the First Time. In July 2016, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made several changes to the quality measures of the Five Star Nursing Home Quality Rating System. These include the addition of five new measures, one of which is basing reimbursements on the percentage of short-stay residents who are re-hospitalized after a nursing home admission.
How can long-term care communities reduce re-hospitalizations and ensure appropriate reimbursements? The path to a 5-Star rating starts with a 5-Star Resident. Reduction in re-hospitalizations starts at admission with these 6 Steps:
