  Hospice Watch Enhancements
Making every effort to ensure the highest quality of care for your residents and to also ensure that you are accurately recouping appropriate reimbursement for these efforts, we have enhanced the Hospice Evaluation Watch page. 

Two columns have been added to the Watch table which provide you with a way to compare your MDS assessment coding for field J5c (Stability of Conditions--end stage disease, six months or fewer to live) with the evaluation scores generated from the Personal Severity Index Method and the Life Expectancy of Six Months or Less Method.


 
User Administration Enhancements
For users who have permissions for the Admin menu in CareWatch
® and RiskWatch®, you will see a modification to the User Administration pages such as "List Users Assigned to Facilities," "Facility Access to a User," etc.  From this point forward, when checking users, you will only see those users specific to your facility, not the entire organization (unless you have organization-wide permissions). 

This will prevent the accidental editing of user information or deletion of users from facilities other than those that you specifically manage.  If you have permissions to view multiple facilities, you will still maintain the ability to administer all of those users, however, who you see on these pages is now restricted based on your individual level of access. 

Please Note:  When a user is now deleted from a facility and he/she does not have access to any other facilities in the organization, they will be completely removed from the organization and system.  If they do have permissions in other facilities, they will only be removed from the specific facility that you are actively deleting them from...their other facility access remains unless they are deleted by an administrator for the other facilities.

  Note-Worthy - CareWatch®

  • A bug has been corrected when a request is received inactivating a record that was previously accepted into the state database.  This type of assessment was flagged as "Invalid" by our system; it will now be recognized as a valid assessment.
  • For customers using an external analysis interface such as KeaneCare or LTC Solutions, you will now receive an error message warning you if your system is not configured correctly and the batch header doesn't match your facility.

   Note-Worthy - RiskWatch®

  • An occasional error involving pop up blockers when adding physicians, staff, etc., when using the "Other" selection in the drop down boxes, has been corrected.
  • A fix has been implemented to prevent duplicates or other multiples of notes from appearing in the same occurrence report during the occurrence entry.  This includes nurse's notes, etc.
  • A bug that occasionally came up while entering staff interview information at the Investigate Stage has been fixed.
