Admission Procedures

Resident Face Sheet

Information in the resident face sheet is shared throughout the Clinical System, reducing the need to re-enter the same information into other programs. For example, the resident's birth and admit dates are copied from the face sheet into the resident's MDS record and care plan. If the Clinical and Resident Accounting Systems are integrated, face sheet data can be accessed through both systems.

  • Record personal and demographic data required for billing
  • Include Medicare, Medicaid and other insurance numbers
  • Enter ICD9 medical diagnoses, Primary Physician identification, and Family, Financial and Legal contacts
  • Track advanced directives, religion, language, discharge plan and other details
  • Resident's financial data is automatically updated with last billing, payment dates and balances by payer
  • Record up to 99 separate notes per resident. Include additional information such as medical history, maiden name, names of spouse, parents, children and grandchildren; nationality or ethnic background, etc

Physician Orders

The Physician Orders programs maintain the orders that will be printed on Order Listings and Medication sheets (MARs) and Treatment Record Sheets (TARs) for residents' charts.

  • Maintain Routine, Diet, Medication, Treatment, Lab and Standing Orders or other facility-defined categories.
  • Print different order categories on different sheets for use by multiple staff members (i.e. licensed vs. non-licensed)
  • Print Order Listings which include all order types, resident's room and bed number, diagnoses and allergies, physician name and phone number, and the physician signature area
  • Medication orders are coded with NDC codes and drug class codes for Quality Assurance reporting

  • Allows users to edit or only to view assessments, based on user log-in
  • Resident demographic information flows directly from the resident's face sheet into the Admission assessment
  • When you start a new assessment, begin with a copy of the last assessment and make the required changes, or begin with a blank assessment and complete all sections
  • If your State requires medications with NDC codes on Section U (Medications), copy meds from the med order file to Section U where you can add, edit or delete meds and access the NDC library
  • System automatically checks each MDS for errors, and will not print or submit an MDS until it is error-free
  • MDS Data Conflict Checking (pdf) assures MDS accuracy by finding logical conflicts within an assessment
