- MxManage Quality Stat assists facility administration and
department directors in determining how well the facility may be
prepared for a state survey, or in providing quantified data for
review by the quality assurance committee.
- MxManage Quality Stat is invaluable in identifying those
residents whom regulators will probably review, in accessing
information to prepare for the survey process, as well as in targeting and
analyzing residents' acuity needs, and in distributing resources to meet
those needs.
- Reliable and valid indicators of facility performance make it possible
to identify specific areas of facility problems and set the focus of
quality improvement efforts.
- Facilities with licensure citations and/or certification substandard
care citations have found that the causes of the citations are generally
linked to cumulative domains, e.g., falls and incontinence, weight loss
and depression. MxManage Quality Stat provides these facts in a clear,
concise, and ‘drill-down’ fashion to facilitate efficiencies in resolving
the causes of the negative clinical outcomes.
"Every time we receive our MxManage, it´s like having a mock survey
with recommendations. Sometimes we love it and sometimes we hate it, but
it helps us know where to start and what to do to fix the problems."
- MxManage Financial Stat provides a detailed analysis of the use of
legitimate optimization strategies to determine if the facility received
the proper credit for services provided. The reports include a review of
the facility´s average ADL score, the impact of
nursing restorative programming,
a review of both Medicare and Medicaid therapy utilization,
and direct care staffing projections. Many clients who
are comfortable with the quality portion of their services, subscribe
to only MxManage Financial Stat to make certain that reimbursement strategies are in
place for each resident.
- Linking Quality Indicators with related risk areas
is an advantage of using MxManage Quality Stat to determine if there is a systems problem
which is affecting a number of residents and contributing to the causative factors for
triggering one or more Quality Indicators. If a facility addresses the risk factors
‘within the risk’, they will be attempting to intervene in areas
which contribute to the resident’s overall risk for avoidable
negative outcomes.
- MxManage helps lead Clinicians
through the critical thinking needed to achieve better practices.
Using MDS data for quality improvement facilitates ease in making comparisons
of resident characteristics. Clinical outcomes are easy to measure and
changes in resident conditions can be tracked readily over time.
Clinicians can question previously accepted practices and are encouraged to design
and implement better ways of caring for residents to improve outcomes.
