Improved Workflows, Designed for Senior Living
For a Senior Living operator considering a charting solution, an important question to ask is, “Does this solution streamline our workflows or add unnecessary complexity?” In the case of CareAssist, medication orders flow directly to the eMAR component of the software and are updated in real-time. Optional barcode scanning capabilities of medications during administration also adds to administration accuracy and safety. Barcode scanning electronically verifies the “5 rights” of medication administration and ensures that drugs are being administered at the correct time and to the correct resident. Drug monographs imbedded in the electronic medication administration record also provide an easy way for nurses or med techs to review medication information such as indications or side effects.
With CareAssist, task lists are generated directly from the resident’s service plan in MatrixCare’s core EHR system to ensure that each resident receives the assistance and services they need. Tasks are resident- centric and personalized, ensuring that the resident’s preferences are in the forefront of care. Studies show that this leads to less downtime of staff with caregivers documenting in real time throughout their shifts. Staff and residents alike report increased satisfaction with the implementation of CareAssist.
It’s also important that you choose a charting solution that not only enhances the care being provided to residents, but also provides the ability to analyze revenue and costs associated with providing the care. For example, CareAssist includes the ability to track the time associated with each task, enabling management to staff and charge accordingly. Rather than trying to adapt systems that were designed for acute care, or even skilled nursing, to a Senior Living environment, there are distinct benefits to choosing a solution designed with Senior Living workflows in mind.
Easy to Learn, Easy to Use
Turnover rates, education level of caregivers, language and literacy barriers are all motivators in choosing a user interface that is simple to learn and use. MatrixCare designed its point-of-care component with pictures and icons to guide users through documentation. It is so easy to use that caregivers who struggle with language barriers or literacy issues become capable users with no additional training. On average, it takes less than one hour of training for a new user to become familiar and proficient with CareAssist.
Technology advances in charting software can reap significant efficiencies for your organization, your staff, and your residents. To learn more about CareAssist, visit
