Our History

Since 1982 HTS has worked closely with its clients and state agencies to develop applications that meet record-keeping requirements and state and federal regulations.

In 1987, the U.S. Congress passed OBRA87--new regulations that would require the automation of residents' records in long-term care facilities. Anticipating clients' needs, HTS added marketing and software development staff, and continued to install its systems in facilities that wanted to automate before the new regulations would go into effect.

In 1991, HTS was one of the first vendors to offer MDS software, and in 1992 HTS was the first vendor to provide for electronic transfer of MDS records. Through 1995, HTS continued to develop MDS-based products, including Case Mix calculation, Quality Indicators and RAP-driven Care Planning.

In 1995, as long-term care responded to changes in eligibility requirements, Residential Care emerged as an alternative level of care. HTS began providing the MDS-RCA programs for use in Maine Residential Care facilities.

In the latter 90s, HTS continued to support its client base and meet HCFA (now CMS) regulations with the following developments:

• MDS+ to MDS 2.0 conversion
• Medicare PPS software
• The Y2k conversion
• MDS Correction Policy Software
• Windows-based applications

Since the year 2000, HTS has continued to integrate new regulations and technologies into its systems with the following developments:

• All applications and clients converted to Windows operating environments
• Website access to software releases, program changes, and Users' Instructions Manuals
• Clinical programs meet HIPAA Privacy regulation
• Billing programs meet HIPAA 837 regulations
• ODBC-compliance
• Supports Thin Client between client and server
• Integration with Resource Systems CareTracker™ Touch Screen Resident Observations
• Residential Care Correction Policy for the State of Maine
• Assisted Living forms and Case Mix for the State of Maine
• Residential Care programs for the State of Florida
• Residential Care UB92 billing
• Interfaces to various Therapy Charges programs
• Multi-state Medicaid billing

Our most recent capabilities include:

A Resident Referral System that helps you focus your marketing efforts and increase your census with residents whom your facility can serve best.
