As a healthcare leader, you understand the significance of maintaining high standards of care in your skilled nursing facilities. It's crucial to have a reliable system that pinpoints areas of risk and tracks performance seamlessly. That's where action indicators come into play, providing you with critical insights at the click of a button.

Action indicators utilize MDS data to automatically identify quality and compliance areas with opportunities for improvement. Each indicator provides information about related regulatory requirements and instant access to MDS coding review and guidance for further investigation of potential issues. The indicator reporting is also valuable in enabling leadership to provide successful oversight across multiple facilities using the tool.

Imagine the simplicity of having a dashboard that instantly reveals where your communities are at risk. No more sifting through endless reports or manual data entry. This capability removes a significant amount of up-front work off your plate, allowing you to focus on strategic decision-making and improving patient care.

These integrated data systems are designed to support you and your team effectively. With clear action indicators, you can:

  • identify deficiencies
  • direct your team to address them efficiently
  • streamline operations
  • ensure that every aspect of care meets your high standards

By leveraging these tools, you enhance the quality of care, increase patient satisfaction, and maintain regulatory compliance with ease.

Investing in a dependable system like HealthStream’s Quality Manager (formerly known as abaqis®) can be a game-changer for skilled nursing facilities, ensuring that leaders can allocate their time and resources efficiently while maintaining compliance and enhancing the quality of care provided to residents.
