MDS ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE

“

MDS Intelligence has clearly demonstrated the strong connection between clinical documentation and the revenue cycle. The finance department and the leadership team saw how critical it was to document correctly and efficiently. We’ve been able to invest more in resources and technology to support our clinical staff so they can document more efficiently. Less time spent documenting means they have more time for patients.

After implementing MDS Intelligence, we were able to get to and maintain 4- and 5-star ratings. MDS Intelligence gave us confidence that our ratings would reflect our teams’ work. But more importantly, there was that “a-ha moment” for me when I realized it wasn’t the people, it was the processes that needed to be fixed. With MDS Intelligence, we have more insight into how to fix the processes needed to manage our quality measures and improve the quality of care for our residents.

When we started using MDS Intelligence, our average quality measure star rating for the company – and we have 81 facilities – was 2.6. We’re 4.0 now, so we’ve seen a very nice improvement in our quality measures. Inovalon really helped us roll out PDPM, too, as all the analytics helped the editing when we did the MDS.

MDS Intelligence has helped us be more prepared. The resident matrix is a wonderful tool for survey prep. Not only is it easy to use, we can just update and print the documentation so it is ready for the surveyors when they walk in the door.

Inovalon has helped our organization get more referrals. The care quality information we receive from MDS Intelligence has been invaluable in my role as administrator. It’s so easy to use, I can pull the data right off the charts to create the reports we use to document our care quality. In fact, that data has played a key part in helping us land new contracts with the local accountable care organization, which has improved our referral rate. I don't know how we could run our business without it.

Inovalon has given me more relief from the burden of MDS reporting. As our organization’s MDS coordinator, I have been using MDS Intelligence to scrub my MDS for about three years. The MDS Inteliigence scrub is so helpful and keeps me on top of the beast that MDS has become. The reports are colorful and sensible and the system is easy to navigate. In fact, I use MDS Intelligence so often, I was locked out of the QIES system for CASPER reports because I hadn’t used it in so long!

Inovalon has given me more time. I came from the tried and true 'old school'… paper. Automating our paper processes have helped me reduce paperwork, use fewer lists and have more time to achieve the work at hand.

MDS Intelligence is foundational to being a preferred skilled nursing care provider, and this has allowed us to do more to grow across all of our business units. MDS Intelligence helps us organize the quality of care data at the Village Care Center and gives us the insight we need to focus our efforts and deliver exceptional quality, which supports being a preferred provider for referrals.

Inovalon has given my staff more confidence. MDS Intelligence scrubbing catches many errors, and makes sure we have all our I’s dotted and T’s crossed before we submit our MDS assessments to CMS.

Inovalon does a really good job at pulling together clinical data for the MDS and quality metrics that are really important for relationships with payers. They show the data so that it can be understood and metrics can be utilized to focus and [our clients can] project for the future and make plans to adapt.
