  DON Report
Excellent quality of care for your residents isn't the only goal we have here at eHDS--we also strive to make your jobs easier and more efficient.  The newly released DON Report does just that by providing you with a report which is an overview of census and clinical information such as resident details, QI/QM information, and occurrence information pulled from both CareWatch® and RiskWatch® and presented in one cohesive unit.

This eliminates the need for you to manually retrieve this information from several different sources; hence it saves you time, provides a quick and easy way to compare metrics, and improves your overall efficiency.

  Note-Worthy - CareWatch®

  • An issue with a modification assessment not being accepted properly has been fixed.  Modification assessments will now replace the appropriate existing assessment. 
  • Per the Illinois 2008 state rules regarding restoratives, an update has been made to the 2008 Illinois Medicaid Facility Daily Minutes and Rates page regarding the Dressing/Grooming restorative and dependency status.  If a resident's MDS score is noted as fully dependent, they will only qualify for the dressing/grooming restorative for one quarter.
  • A refinement to the Assessments Due page has been added to ensure that if you have submitted three quarterly assessments, the system will automatically look for an annual assessment as the next assessment due.

   Note-Worthy - RiskWatch®

  • A bug regarding email notifications for high severity incidents has been corrected and is now functioning properly.
  • A change in the "Report Entry" page and the "Enter Report" page has been implemented.  When you click on "Report Entry" now you will see a full menu of Reporter Operations including managing occurrence reports, skin issue risk management features, and use analysis reports.  The "Enter Report" link now only displays options for recording new occurrences.
